(Almost) full Vietnam itinerary - looking for critique and suggestions!
Travelling to Vietnam at the start of April for 3 weeks. I booked it back in June and I'm starting to get SO excited! So far I have the following rough outline for what I'm going to be doing, but I could use some critique of my plans and suggestions for days 17 onwards! In order of things I want to do it probably goes nature > food (very close 2nd) > social stuff/partying etc.
If anyone has any experience with the Phong Nha cave tours that would be great. That and a cooking class somewhere are pretty much the only things I'm 100% set on.
| Date/Day | Plan |
|---|---|
| 30 March / 1 | Go to Heathrow and fly to Hanoi |
| 31 March / 2 | Arrive at Hanoi at 09:35, go to first hostel (pre-booked for convenience, hang out for a bit, explore Hanoi in the afternoon/evening) |
| 1 April / 3 | More looking around Hanoi. Cooking class at Rose Kitchen |
| 2 April / 4 | More Hanoi (?), afternoon bus to Sa Pa. Get to Sa Pa at ~10pm, stay overnight at homestay booked in advance. |
| 3 April / 5 | Trekking in Sa Pa - has anyone done any tours here and would think they're worthwhile? Can any parts of Fansipan be done solo? |
| 4 April / 6 | More trekking in Sa Pa |

| 6 April / 8 | Arrive in Cat Ba around 8-9am. Spend most of the day relaxing/resting probably. |
| 7 April / 9 | Kayaking in Cat Ba (is this possible as a solo traveller or do most places look for small groups?) |
| 8 April / 10 | Trekking in Cat Ba |
| 9 April / 11 | Travel to Ninh Binh (need to work out details) |
| 10 April / 12 | Ninh Binh - cycling, walking, hanging out |
