SNEAK PEAK
Think mist-covered mountains, surreal caves, waterfalls that kiss international borders, and boat rides through ancient rivers. From waking up in a sleepy town you’ve never heard of to standing in two countries at once – this trip is full of those “wait, is this real life?” moments. Add a crew of like-minded strangers who feel like instant friends, and you’ve got the beginning of something unforgettable.
There’s also street food in Hanoi, nights on a luxury cruise under the stars, stories whispered through limestone caves, and soul-soothing sunsets in Ninh Binh. This isn’t your typical tour, it’s the kind of journey that lingers, long after your tan fades and your backpack’s unpacked. You in?
July 13th, Sunday: Land at Hanoi by or before 6am. We ’re going to start off with a road trip to Cao Bang – a city that is home to Vietnamese caves, waterfalls, rolling green hills and more! Part of the much loved loop done by seasoned bikers, you’re saying hello to a whole other side of Vietnam! Post check in, who wants to walk around and explore a new city with the gang?! O/N Cao Bang
July 14th, Monday: Ready to give everyone back home serious FOMO on this Monday? We’re taking you to locations that are simply picture perfect postcards! First stop, Nui Thung, fondly referred to as the Angel Eye mountain thanks to the unique eye like hole in the mountain’s heart. In its proximity reside nearly 36 small lakes! We’ll visit the Thang Hem lake. Next, Nguom Ngao cave – the story of which is almost 400 million years old and is rich with many local legends! O/N Cao Bang
July 15th, Tuesday: Eeeep, okay, pinch us, but we’re going to a waterfall and not just any waterfall but Asia’s largest waterfall!! Blue green waters with mighty stretches of white gushing below, Ban Gioc falls (MM&Co. special) are truly a sight to behold. So close to China border that you can actually place one foot in China and one foot in Vietnam at the same time! Eyes wide with wonder,
feet out to wander and a road trip to Hanoi where we’ll talk, play games and sing to our heart’s content. Evening free to soak in Hanoi’s sights – Train Street, Note Coffee, Hoan Kiem Lake. Night, hit the famous Pub Street with your new mates. Partayyyy. O/N Hanoi
July 16th , Wednesday: Morning, transfer to Ninh Binh. Rice fields with rivers, ancient pagodas and stretches of green, this place looks like a dream. Visit Mua Caves – the Great Wall of Vietnam! It’s a towering structure where we’ll climb up the stairs to be left spellbound at the top as we witness Tam Coc from a height offering a panoramic sight. Evening, indulge in the true vacay mood as Ninh Binh is home to some authentic Vietnamese massage parlours, so, kickback and relax 🙂 O/N Ninh Binh
July 17th, Thursday: Morning starts with a visit to the intriguing Bich Dong Pagoda. Later, to make this day unforgettable, we’re taking you for a boat ride at Trang An. You may have taken boat rides before but this is a rather unique boat ride. The landscape of rocky hills with green water flowing between them, added to it mystical caves where our boats shall go within! The visual of Ninh Binh comes to life, let your eyes stare into your surroundings, let your mind make its new promises at this dreamy destination with new friends. O/N Ninh Binh

Folklores talk about dragons that spat jewels, leading to the jade green waters that glisten here today. Hop on a kayak and explore the mysteries of this region.
