5 days trekking and sailing through Northern Vietnam

Northern Vietnam travel experience

Northern Vietnam has stunning sceneries

To start the Scenic North Trekking and Sailing tour, you shall depart from Hanoi and head to Mai Chau, a fertile valley that's home to ethnic Thai people living in traditional wooden stilt houses. Mai Chau is one of the most visited places in Northern Vietnam and we will surely be impressed by the lovely natural sceneries. On the way, you will stop for lunch with a local Thai family before hiking out to explore the surrounding villages that dot the verdant landscape.

Next, you head off the tourist trail and into Pu Luong Nature Reserve, where few foreign visitors have discovered the natural beauty and friendly local hospitality that make this one of North Vietnam’s best-kept secrets. Here you learn to cook authentic Vietnamese cuisine at the homestay and enjoy dinner with the family before falling asleep to peaceful sounds of the river.

The tour begins its second day with you waking up and stretch your muscles on a trek through unspoiled primary rainforest in Pu Luong Nature Reserve. Time feels to have stood still as you walk through the terraced rice fields where traditional farming methods are still used instead of machines.

You can soak in the culture and countryside that rewards the few who travel to this remote, special place. Then travel on to Ninh Binh, stopping for lunch in Thanh Hoa Province.

On the third day, you will board a small boat and float down the romantic Tam Coc River, soaking in the early morning atmosphere in peace before the day-tripping tourists arrive from Hanoi. During the trip, you can take in the breathtaking scenery around you as the river weaves through bright green rice paddies edged by towering karst mountains.

This is when you will start to feel a bit overwhelmed by trekking and working out, so Frontier Travel Vietnam shall help you refresh by taking you to the ocean, where you will feel so much calmer, more peaceful and relaxed. And that is the most beautiful and famous world natural heritage of Northern Vietnam, Ha Long Bay.

You begin by traveling to Cat Ba Island where you’ll board a traditional wooden sailboat and sail into Lan Ha Bay, passing the floating villages that fringe this Jurassic-looking national park island. You can kick back on the deck and watch the backdrop change as the sun dips down and jungle-topped karsts become shadows of a hundred different shapes against the twilight sky.

On the last day of the Scenic North Trekking and Sailing tour, you wake up to a setting that feels otherworldly as you cruise among the thousands of karst islands and pillars rising up with sheer cliffs from the emerald water. Stop for a swim or kayaking before returning to Gia Luan harbor on Cat Ba Island to travel back to Hanoi.

Why trekking and sailing?

Frontier Travel Vietnam determines to bring you a memorable and exciting trip, so trekking and sailing are two ways of traveling that we choose.

Trekking requires you to exercise, to actual move instead of sitting in a vehicle and watch the sceneries blur by the window. After long hours of studying or working in the suffocating office, you will have the chance to enjoy nature, take in the refreshing environment and breathe in the lovely scene of the wild. Of course, a little bit of working out only does you more good than harm.
