Vietnam Tour Package with Flights: Hanoi, Halong, Phu Quoc and Saigon 10 Days & 9 Nights

This 10 days Vietnam tour package runs from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south, with return flights from India and both flights inside Vietnam already in the price. You spend three nights in Hanoi with a day in Ninh Binh, one night on an overnight Halong Bay cruise, two nights at a beach resort on Phu Quoc island and three nights in Saigon with the Mekong Delta and the Cu Chi Tunnels. It suits first-time visitors, couples and families who want Vietnam's cities, its bay and an island in one trip without planning a single connection. Prices start at Rs 95,900 per person on twin sharing with up to 4-star hotels, daily breakfast, transfers and sightseeing tickets.

Most 10-day Vietnam trips sold in India either skip the island or skip the night on the bay. This one keeps both, and it saves you the long road legs by flying from Hanoi to Phu Quoc and on to Saigon. The north is busy, the island is slow, and the south mixes history with a day on the river. Shorter on leave? Our 7-day Vietnam tour stays in two regions, and every duration sits side by side in our Vietnam tour packages.

Rs 95,900 per person on twin sharing (was Rs 1,04,239), with return economy flights from Delhi or Mumbai, the Hanoi to Phu Quoc and Phu Quoc to Ho Chi Minh City flights, 8 nights in up to 4-star hotels and 1 night on the cruise. TravelTriangle trips are rated 4.4/5 from 3,723 traveller reviews. You can change any day of this itinerary, and you compare quotes from up to 3 verified agents before you pay anything.

10 Days Vietnam Tour Package at a Glance

You fly into Hanoi and home from Ho Chi Minh City, so the trip never doubles back. Two short domestic flights replace about 30 hours of road travel.

Day-Wise 9 Nights 10 Days Vietnam Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Hanoi, Evening in the Old Quarter

Your flight from India lands at Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport, where our representative meets you and drives you about 45 minutes to Hanoi Peridot Hotel on Bat Su Street (or similar). It sits inside the Old Quarter, so check in, freshen up and rest after the journey.

In the evening, walk ten minutes to Hoan Kiem Lake and cross the red The Huc Bridge to Ngoc Son Temple, which is lit up after dark. From Friday evening to Sunday night the streets around the lake close to traffic and fill with families and street-food carts. If you have energy left, the water puppet show by the lake is a one-hour Red River tradition (tickets extra). Dinner tonight is your own.

Day 2: Ninh Binh Day Trip, Hoa Lu Ancient Capital and the Trang An Boat Ride

After breakfast, drive about 2 hours south to Ninh Binh, the limestone country people call Halong Bay on land. Your first stop is Hoa Lu, Vietnam's capital in the 10th century, where you visit the temples of the Dinh and Le kings.

Then comes the best hour of the day. At Trang An, a local rower takes you in a small sampan along the river, under low caves and past temples that sit at the foot of the cliffs. The boat route is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and takes about two and a half hours. On the way back, ask your driver to stop at Mua Cave, where 500 steps lead to a view over the rice fields (entry extra). Return to Hanoi for the night. Read more in our Ninh Binh guide.

Day 3: Halong Bay Overnight Cruise, Sung Sot Cave and Ti Top Island

After breakfast, check out and drive about 2 hours 30 minutes on the expressway to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Board your Swan Cruises boat (or similar) at the harbour and settle into your cabin while lunch is served as the boat sails out among the limestone islands.

Your first stop is Sung Sot Cave, also called Surprise Cave, one of the largest caves in Halong Bay. Next is Ti Top Island, named after the Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov. Swim off its small beach or climb about 400 steps to the viewpoint for the classic photo over the bay. Back on board, the sun sets behind the islands. Dinner is served on the boat, and you spend the night at anchor in the bay.

Day 4: Bo Nau Area, Ba Hang Fishing Village and Back to Hanoi

Wake up early on the water. Many boats run a tai chi session on the sundeck before breakfast. Then explore the quieter parts of the bay around Bo Nau, return to the boat to pack, and cruise past Ba Hang fishing village and Dog Islet, one of the bay's best-known rock shapes.

On the way back to the harbour, the crew gives a fruit-carving demonstration, and lunch is served before you disembark. Drive back to Hanoi and check in again at Hanoi Peridot Hotel. Tonight is free. Try bun cha, grilled pork with noodles, on Hang Manh Street, or walk the Old Quarter's night market if it is a weekend.

Day 5: Fly from Hanoi to Phu Quoc, Sunset on Long Beach

After breakfast, check out and transfer to Noi Bai Airport for your flight to Phu Quoc, which takes about 2 hours 5 minutes and is included in the package. Our representative meets you at Phu Quoc International Airport and drives you to The Palmy Phu Quoc Resort and Spa near Duong To (or similar).

The rest of the day is yours. Phu Quoc's west coast faces the sunset, so walk down to Long Beach by 5 pm. In the evening, the Phu Quoc night market in Duong Dong town sells grilled seafood, sim wine and the island's famous pepper. Our Phu Quoc island guide lists more ideas.

Day 6: Phu Quoc at Leisure, Sao Beach or the Hon Thom Cable Car

Today is a free day, and it is the slowest day of the trip by design. Stay at the resort pool, or book one of three outings at the hotel desk the evening before (all extra). The first is Sao Beach on the south-east coast, a curve of white sand and shallow water about 45 minutes by taxi.

The second is the Hon Thom cable car, about 7.9 km over the sea to Hon Thom island and its water park, one of the longest sea-crossing cable cars in the world. The third is a 4-island snorkelling boat trip from An Thoi, which leaves around 8 am and returns by 4 pm. Each takes half a day or more, so pick one and keep the evening for the beach.

Day 7: Fly from Phu Quoc to Ho Chi Minh City, Evening at Ben Thanh Market

After breakfast, check out and transfer to Phu Quoc Airport for the flight to Ho Chi Minh City, about 1 hour and included in the package. You are met at Tan Son Nhat Airport and driven to A&EM Signature Hotel on Thu Khoa Huan Street in District 1 (or similar).

The hotel is a short walk from Ben Thanh Market, so spend the evening there and on Nguyen Hue Walking Street, where the city gathers after dark in front of the old City Hall. For dinner, try com tam (broken rice) or a bowl of pho from a street stall. Read about more places to visit in Ho Chi Minh City for your free hours.

Day 8: Mekong Delta Day Trip to My Tho and Vinh Trang Pagoda

After breakfast, drive about 2 hours south to My Tho, as the city gives way to rice fields and fruit farms. Your first stop is Vinh Trang Pagoda, a 19th-century temple that mixes Vietnamese, Chinese and French styles, with large Buddha statues in its gardens.

Then board a boat on the Mekong River to the islands opposite My Tho. You pass fruit plantations and fishing villages, and most tours stop for honey tea, tropical fruit and a coconut candy workshop, before a small hand-rowed boat takes you down a narrow canal under water-coconut palms. Drive back to Ho Chi Minh City in the evening.

Day 9: Saigon City Tour and the Cu Chi Tunnels

After breakfast, start with the Central Post Office, opened in 1891 under a vaulted iron-and-glass roof. Next to it stands Notre-Dame Cathedral, a separate building; its restoration runs into 2027, so you see it from outside. Then visit the Reunification Palace, where a tank broke through the gate on 30 April 1975, and the War Remnants Museum.

In the afternoon, drive about 1 hour 30 minutes to the Cu Chi Tunnels, part of a network of more than 200 km dug during the war. Crawl a short stretch if you are comfortable in tight spaces, or watch from above, and taste steamed cassava, the food the fighters lived on. Return to your hotel for your last night in Vietnam.

Day 10: Departure from Ho Chi Minh City

Have breakfast and enjoy a free morning, perhaps a last coffee with condensed milk at a pavement café. Check out by noon, and your driver takes you to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, about 30 minutes from District 1, for your included flight home to India.

Hotels and Your Halong Bay Cruise

Our agents book these hotels or similar ones, depending on availability.

Each stay puts you close to what you came for. The Hanoi hotel is a ten-minute walk from Hoan Kiem Lake, the Phu Quoc resort is on the west coast near Long Beach, and the Saigon hotel is two streets from Ben Thanh Market. Want 5-star hotels or a balcony cabin on the cruise? Ask in your quote.

Inclusions and Exclusions

10 Days Vietnam Trip Cost from India

A 10-day Vietnam trip on this itinerary costs about Rs 1.18 lakh to Rs 1.32 lakh per person in total, flights included. The Rs 95,900 package covers the expensive, hard-to-arrange parts: four flights, nine nights, the cruise, every transfer and the sightseeing tickets. What remains is food, the visa and whatever you choose to add.

The two numbers that move the total most are your departure city and your travel month. Flying from Bengaluru, Kolkata or Hyderabad, or travelling at Christmas or Tet, can add a few thousand rupees, so ask for two dates side by side. Compare shorter trips with flights in our Vietnam tour packages, from the 5-day Vietnam tour with airfare upwards.

Flights from India and the Vietnam e-Visa

Your ticket is open-jaw. You fly into Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) and home from Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat (SGN), so the only flights inside Vietnam are the two short hops on Days 5 and 7. Vietnam is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of India.

The package price is based on Delhi or Mumbai. Flying from elsewhere? See our Vietnam tour packages from Delhi, from Mumbai or every route in how to reach Vietnam.

Indian passport holders need an e-visa, applied for on Vietnam's official portal, evisa.gov.vn. A single-entry e-visa costs US$25 and a multiple-entry one US$50, both valid for up to 90 days, and processing takes 3 to 5 working days. Your passport must be valid for 6 months from arrival. Your agent files it for you from passport scans and a photo, and our Vietnam visa for Indians guide explains each step. The old visa-on-arrival letter is no longer needed.

Best Time for a 10-Day Vietnam Trip on This Route

November to April is the best time for this route, and February to April is the sweet spot. The north and south of Vietnam have different seasons, and these are the months when Hanoi, Halong Bay, Phu Quoc and Saigon are dry together.

Christmas, New Year and the week of Tet are the busiest and dearest weeks, so book cruise cabins and Phu Quoc rooms early for those dates. Month-by-month detail for the whole country is in our best time to visit Vietnam guide.

Is 10 Days Enough for Vietnam? Phu Quoc or Da Nang and Hoi An

Ten days is enough for the north, the south and an island, as long as you leave out central Vietnam. If you would rather see Hoi An than lie on a beach, this is how the two versions compare.

Shorter on time? The 4 nights 5 days Vietnam tour covers Hanoi and Halong Bay, the 7-day Vietnam tour adds the south, the 7 nights 8 days Vietnam tour runs north to south by road, and the North Vietnam tour swaps the beach for Sapa. Want Angkor Wat as well? See our Vietnam and Cambodia packages.

Know Before You Go: Money, Food and Packing

Vietnam uses the dong (VND), at about 270 dong to the rupee (check the day's rate before you change money). Carry US dollars in cash and change them in Hanoi, because street stalls, the Phu Quoc night market and Mekong boat tips are cash only, and UPI does not work. As with any overseas tour package bought in India, 2% TCS is collected on the package price and can be claimed back when you file your income tax return.

Vegetarians eat well on this route if they say so at booking. The cruise kitchen needs about two days' notice, and Hanoi's Old Quarter, Duong Dong on Phu Quoc and District 1 in Saigon all have Indian restaurants. Look for the word chay, meaning vegetarian, and ask for no fish sauce (khong nuoc mam).

Pack light cotton for Phu Quoc and Saigon, a warm layer for Hanoi and the cruise deck between December and February, swimwear and reef-safe sunscreen, and clothes that cover shoulders and knees for pagodas and the Reunification Palace. Wear trousers you do not mind getting dusty at Cu Chi.
