Discover Vietnam together on a 15-day, 14-night tailor-made family journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. Explore Hanoi’s culture and food, meet local communities around Mai Chau, spend one night aboard a shared cruise in the Ha Long–Lan Ha Bay region, then slow down for five nights on Phu Quoc Island before visiting Saigon and the Mekong Delta.
Designed for families who enjoy cultural discovery without moving hotels every day, this itinerary mixes guided visits with genuine downtime. It includes some long private-road journeys, domestic flights, a boat overnight and an optional soft walk in Mai Chau. Haivenu can adjust visits and rest breaks to suit children’s ages and each traveller’s mobility.
Families and multigenerational travellers who prefer a mix of guided learning, coastal scenery and unstructured holiday time. Cave steps, hiking, kayaking and Cu Chi tunnel interiors are not mandatory: suitability depends on ages, physical ability, access and supplier rules. The journey is not a cycling tour.
Begin with a Hanoi airport pickup. Travel to Mai Chau and back, take a 2-day/1-night cruise in the Ha Long–Lan Ha region, then return to Hanoi and fly to Phu Quoc. Continue by domestic flight to Ho Chi Minh City and finish with an airport transfer on Day 15. Air routes, cruise vessel, cabin category, ground transfers, room configuration and guide services will be finalised in the written quotation.
The itinerary uses a private land-tour format where specified; the overnight cruise is on a shared vessel unless an exclusive charter is arranged separately. Flights and supplier excursions are not represented as private services.
Haivenu prices this journey individually based on dates, group size, hotels, child-sharing needs, domestic flight availability and supplier inclusions. Share your adults’ and children’s ages, preferred accommodation, dietary requirements, beach interests and travel dates to receive a proposed itinerary, confirmed inclusions, total price, cancellation terms and any applicable child rates in writing before booking.
