The huge Ben Thanh market, one of the liveliest areas of Ho Chi Minh City, is packed with every conceivable commodity. You’ll also call in at the Jade Emperor Temple. It’s one of the best Taoist temples in Vietnam, with superb effigies, remarkable carved panels of the descent to Hell and somewhat incongruous terrapin and tortoise sanctuaries.

Day 5: Ho Chi Minh City/Cu Chi/Ho Chi Minh City (B, L, G)
A morning drive will take you to visit the famous Cu Chi tunnels, a Byzantine maze of underground passages, chambers, rooms and booby traps used by both the Vietminh and the Viet Cong to suddenly materialise as if from nowhere, launch a lightning ambush, and vanish equally rapidly.
CU CHI TUNNELS
From there, you’ll drive to The Cao Dai Holy See, an architectural ‘tour de force’ and the spiritual heart of one of the world’s newest religions. You’ll arrive in time for the noon ceremony. After lunch at local restaurant, you’ll drive back to Ho Chi Minh City.
CU CHI TUNNELS
Day 6: Ho Chi Minh City to your chosen holiday destination (B, DP)
You’ll have free time until your driver arrives to take you to your chosen destination
| Option 1:- Mui Ne Beach (200km from Ho Chi Minh City by road – approximately 3hrs)
Day 7 to Day 10 Phan Thiet town is undistinguished apart from an international hotel and a good golf course. Not far away is Mui Ne Beach, one of the best beaches in Vietnam and famous for its huge rolling dunes. There is a good range of hotels on the beach, some offering accommodation in bamboo villas and bungalows. Many have very attractive, well-kept gardens.
Large trees and palms screen the hotels from each other creating a sense of seclusion. There are also plenty of restaurants along the beach road – a mixture of Vietnamese and international. Apart from an 18 km beach and places to stroll in the cool of the evenings, there’s not much to do at Mui Ne apart from relaxing on the sand and swimming. Alternatively, you could choose to visit the golf course in Phan Thiet.
Mui Ne is definitely a beach holiday destination. |
OR
| Option 2 – Con Dao Islands (short domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh City)
Day 7 to Day 10 Con Son, about 140km off the coast in the South China Sea, is the largest of a 15-island archipelago most of which is included in a National park and marine reserve. Con Dao is a relatively new destination with minimal infrastructure – only one hotel at mid-range standard and nothing above. The small town and harbour is interesting but, apart from the natural environment, the only attraction is Con Son’s long history as prison colony. The prisons, cell blocks and torture chambers are retained as a museum.
The islands and marine area are rich in bio-diversity, much of which has yet to be explored. Snorkelling and diving around the islands and coral areas are available. We’ll arrange a local guide ensure that you see the best of Con Dao’s pristine flora, wildlife and wide range of aquatic species.
If you want to get off the usual tourist trail and don’t mind roughing it, this should suit you. |
OR
| Option 3 – Phu Quoc Island (short domestic flight from Ho Chi Minh City)
Day 7 to Day 10 Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s largest island. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, has a wide variety of beaches, some regarded as the best in Vietnam. It’s recently been ‘discovered’, so there’s plenty of development in the tourist area. However, you don’t need to travel far to find seclusion.  Vietnam Luxury Travel Infrastructure is improving, but most roads are rough tracks. There’s plenty of accommodation, but nothing above Superior standard. That said, some of the smaller resorts offer comfortable tree-shaded chalets on the beach and friendly service. Duong Dong, the main town, is interesting with plenty of restaurants. Diving and snorkelling are available as well as hiking, cycling and similar activities.
Phu Quoc provides a good beach holiday with a range of activities if required. |
Day 11: Chosen destination to Ho Chi Minh City (B, DP)
You’ll return to from your chosen destination overnight accommodation or departure flight.
“We had very good guides”
“Mr Phuoc was outstanding. His command of global events and being able to put Vietnam into international context was impressive. Very personable, knowledgable, flexible and enthusiastic. A real ambassador for his country while also recognising the shortcomings and opportunities facing Vietnam. He didn’t just repeat history about sights, but he actively sought our own views and then worked out what would be of interest and why. If we were to revisit Vietnam, or recommend a top guide, it would be Mr Phuoc”
“Thanks to Avada Travel Team”
“I am very pleased with how much effort the booking agents put into helping me customize my trip. They were receptive to my input and understanding when I wanted to make changes. They also helped me put my itinerary together very quickly. I booked the trip less than two weeks before I travelled. Avada Travel was successfully able to get me a visa in time for my trip with the strict time constraint we were working under.”
“I will come back Vietnam”
“I wish I had time to see Sa Pa. I am already trying to figure out when I can go back to Vietnam just so I can visit Sa Pa. Even though Ha Long Bay is incredibly beautiful and it was one of my favorite places, I wish I had opted to visit Bai Tu Long or a nearby area instead. Ha Long Bay was so overcrowded and touristy, it was disappointed to be stuck in such a limited area of the Bay when it is so vast. I would recommend that travelers explore their options and stay in nearby areas Cat Ba, Bai Tu Long, Lan Ha, etc and spend more time.”
