After lunch at a local restaurant, you’ll continue on to Trang An, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sail past its dreamy valleys, cave complexes and soaring limestone peaks. Nestled amid this magical landscape are the awe-inspiring remains of Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th and 11th centuries.

Later on, sail down the Thu Bon river towards Cam Kim Island to see its famous wood carvers and shipbuilders at work, before returning to your hotel to spend the rest of the day on the beach.

Afterwards, you’ll continue on towards the Cu Chi Tunnels, once a multi-level, 250-kilometre network running from Saigon to the Cambodian border.
