Once you have experienced the clam and internetless day out in the sea, many other short experiences in nearby countries are not needed anymore. You won't top Lan Ha Bay. Way less busy than Ha Long Bay *as of now. I hope this doesn't get ruined by over tourism.”

All flat roads and we got to see some of the country side just outside of Hoi an. Driving in and around the Ancient town was challenging but exhilarating and Nhat helped us navigate through the crazy intersections. Would definitely recommend.”
