Travel story
Solo trip in Vietnam covering Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.
Enjoy a balanced mix of Vietnam's history, nature, and cuisine—from the stunning World Heritage site Trang An, Hoa Lu, and Mua Cave to the Cu Chi tunnels and the Mekong River cruise.
This is a recommended sample itinerary for first-time visitors to Vietnam and solo travelers.
Signature points
Experience the moving sights of Vietnam at the World Heritage Trang An and the spectacular Mua Cave
Enjoy the northern Vietnam scenery: the ethereal boat ride in the World Heritage Trang An, a historical walk in the ancient capital Hoa Lu, and the vast panorama from Mua Cave.
This fulfilling trip takes you through beautiful landscapes woven from nature and history, allowing you to encounter Vietnam's profound charm.
An adventurous trip to enjoy a Mekong River cruise and serious fishing
In addition to a hand-rowed boat cruise on the Mekong and a crocodile-fishing experience, challenge yourself to catch big fish at a full-scale fishing park.
You can actively enjoy Vietnam's unique nature.
You will also touch on history at the Cu Chi tunnels, and with a Japanese-speaking guide accompanying you, you can relax and fully enjoy the experience.
A solo Vietnam trip to freely enjoy scenery, history, and fishing
A comprehensive plan that visits popular spots like the World Heritage Trang An, the Mekong River, and the Cu Chi tunnels while also enjoying fishing at a fishing park.
Because this is a solo trip around Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, you can enjoy Vietnam's nature, history, and activities at your own pace.
