Full description

This is a experience in Ha Long. It is run by Global Explore, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Hotel pickup & drop-off in Hanoi Old Quarter, Round-trip transportation via modern expressway, Luxury yacht cruise, Welcome drink and Vietnamese & international lunch. It does not cover Tips for the guide and Surcharge for the holidays in Vietnam, so budget for those separately.
