Hanoi to Halong Bay to Da Nang to Hoi An to Ho Chi Minh City to Phu Quoc

About this trip

Vietnam from top to tip, with two easy days on Phu Quoc to finish. Hanoi’s old streets, a night on Halong Bay, the Golden Bridge and Hoi An, then Saigon and the Cu Chi Tunnels.

One of our Vietnam tour packages from Kochi. Flights quoted from your city.

Going from Kerala

There is no non-stop flight from Kerala at the moment: most routes from Kochi change once, in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok, for Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. We fly you into one city and out of the other, so no day is lost going back.

The Christmas break suits the north (Hanoi and Halong Bay are cool and clear) and the south alike. In the April–May summer break, Da Nang and Hoi An are at their best. The Onam break is still good for Da Nang and Hoi An; the north is in its monsoon then: hot, green and showery.

From our travellers

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    We booked our Vietnam trip with Ethan Holidays and it was an absolute delight! From the smooth visa process to peaceful transfers and friendly guides. Our stays were super cute, many with pools and jacuzzis. And the sweetest part? They arranged a surprise birthday celebration for my friend on the cruise!

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    We, a group of seven members, recently had a thrilling holiday in Vietnam for 8 days. The entire itinerary, travel and accommodation arrangements were done by Team Ethan, led by Ms. Ruby. We had a memorable vacation at two destinations, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and the accommodation at both was very comfortable, with tasty food. The tour itinerary was perfect, with courteous and supportive local guides and comfortable travel by vehicle, and all of us really enjoyed the trip. Kudos to Team Ethan for arranging such an exciting trip.

    We recently traveled to Thailand with Ethan Holidays and had the most amazing experience! Every detail was taken care of, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, island tours, transfers, and even local recommendations. They customized the itinerary based on our needs, and everything ran like clockwork. What really stood out was their attention to detail and how quickly they handled last-minute changes.
