🚤 Halong Bay Cruise: Sail Through a Living Postcard (1–2 Days)
No trip to northern Vietnam is complete without a journey to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where thousands of limestone islands rise like jagged teeth from turquoise waters. At Lestar Hotel Hanoi, we make it easy to experience this natural wonder — whether you choose a 1-day cruise or an overnight adventure.

“Mia helped me book tours to Halong Bay and Ninh Binh at very short notice with pretty good rates.” — Trip.com Guest (June 2025)
Pro Tip: Book your cruise early — popular boats sell out quickly, especially during peak seasons. Ask Mia to recommend a boat that matches your budget and preferences.
🛶 Ninh Binh: “Ha Long Bay on Land” (Full-Day Tour)
Just a 2-hour drive from Hanoi lies Ninh Binh, often called “Ha Long Bay on land” for its dramatic limestone cliffs, winding rivers, and lush rice paddies. This full-day tour offers a quieter, more immersive experience — perfect for those who want to explore Vietnam’s countryside without the crowds.
What to Expect:
- Boat Ride on Tam Coc River: Glide through narrow waterways flanked by towering karsts, stopping to admire ancient temples and hidden caves.
- Bai Dinh Pagoda: Visit Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist complex, featuring golden statues, intricate carvings, and panoramic views.
- Trang An Scenic Landscape: A UNESCO site where you’ll paddle through caves and tunnels, surrounded by emerald waters and verdant hills.
Insider Tip: Combine your Ninh Binh tour with a stop at Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, the first capital of Vietnam, for a deeper dive into the country’s history.
Why book with Lestar? Our concierge team knows the best local guides and operators — they’ll ensure you get the most authentic, value-packed experience possible.
⛰️ Sapa Trekking: Conquer the Northern Highlands (2–3 Days)
For adventurers seeking mountains, mist, and cultural immersion, Sapa is a must. Nestled in the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, this highland town offers some of Vietnam’s most stunning hikes — from terraced rice fields to remote ethnic minority villages.
Our Sapa Packages Include:
- Private Transport: Comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles for the 6–7 hour journey from Hanoi.
- Guided Treks: Explore trails to Cat Cat, Ta Phin, or Muong Hoa Valley with knowledgeable local guides.
- Homestay Options: Stay with H’mong or Dao families for an authentic cultural experience.
- Flexible Itineraries: Choose from 2-day, 3-day, or extended treks — we’ll tailor the pace and difficulty to your group.
Pro Tip: Pack layers — Sapa’s weather can change rapidly, and mornings are often chilly. Ask Frank for packing tips based on your travel dates.
“The best part of the stay was Frank and Mia at the front desk who helped make sure we had everything… arranged tours, drivers, motorcycles and helped make sure we were happy at all times!” — Trip.com Guest (May 2025)
