As per the trip title our 12-day adventure was designed to visit many of the better known locations in both countries including Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Min City, Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh. We traveled by a combination of minibus, boat and plane during our time in these two countries which maximized our time to visit the many interesting locales.
Halong Bay
Halong Bay Trips
Halong Bay, a World Heritage site where giant limestone peaks rise from emerald waters, is perhaps the star attraction in Vietnam. The name means ‘where the dragon descends into the sea’, and legend has is that a dragon came down from the sky, spraying a thousand pearls into the water. From those pearls grew the staggering limestone pinnacles and crags of the bay, creating a natural fortress to protect Vietnam. Many visitors join Halong Bay tours to sail among the islands in Chinese-style junk boats, gliding across the waters under dragon-fin sails and sleeping the night on board. Come sunset, everyone can gather on deck for a sundowner, while morning offers the opportunity for a spot of yoga in a peaceful, magnificent setting.

Also it was clear that firstcomers had paid the full price (having been told by Exodus that they only needed 4 people to make the trip viable) that while late bookers and those booking through Trailfinders paid a substantial discount!
