Absolute Asia/Vietnam/Vietnam Now: Seaplanes, Vespas, and Amanoi

Overview

Vietnam Now: Seaplanes, Vespas, and Amanoi

After beginning your journey enthralled in the history of Vietnam’s 2,000 year-old capital, take to the sky for panoramic views of the country’s famously lush landscape when you fly from Hanoi to Halong Bay by seaplane. You’ll be mesmerized as you drift over limestone towers jutting from emerald waters and soar past grottos as you come in for landing. From here, you’ll head through the Nui Chua National Park to arrive at the broad bank of stairs leading to Amanoi’s cliff-top perch. Nestled in the elbow of Vinh Hy Bay, Amanoi is ideal for languid days lounging by the elevated infinity pool, rejuvenating Vietnamese massages, and hiking through the mountainous property down to the pristine beaches. Complete your stay at Amanoi with lunch on a floating restaurant in the bay. Continue to Saigon for an exploration of the city’s hidden corners. Zip through the backstreets by Vespa to sample locals’ favorite haunts for authentic banh xeo, goi cuon, and Vietnamese coffee. Close your journey in thought when you meet a war veteran for an eye-opening, firsthand account of the Vietnam War.
