We had an unforgettable six days filled with the beauty and history of Hue and Hoi An, alongside the breathtaking landscapes of Phong Nha.

Exploring the cultural and natural wonders in Da Nang was a fantastic experience that exceeded my expectations. The highlights for me were the stunning landscapes in Phong Nha and the rich history of Hue—each offered a unique glimpse into Vietnam’s beauty. My only minor grievance was the accommodations; while they were comfortable, they lacked a personal touch that I had hoped for during my solo journey.

I had a fantastic time soaking in the vibrant culture of Hoi An and the historical richness of Hue during my six days around Da Nang. Each overnight stay felt like an adventure, especially in Phong Nha, where the natural beauty left me speechless. My only quibbles were a couple of long travel days and some meals that could have used a little more flair, but overall, the experience was truly memorable.

From the stunning lantern-lit streets of Hoi An to the serene landscapes of Phong Nha, our family truly embraced the rich tapestry of experiences this journey offered. The accommodations were comfortable, allowing us to unwind after our daily adventures, though we found some meals could have been more varied. Overall, the blend of cultural immersion and natural beauty left us with lasting memories that we’ll cherish for years to come.
