The group will take off from Noi Bai International Airport (VVNB), departing on a southerly heading toward Vietnam’s capital city, Hanoi. After touring the Hanoi area, we will turn southeast and fly along the Red River Delta, one of the most densely-populated agricultural areas on the planet. We will emerge in the Gulf of Tonkin and then fly along the coastline on a north-easterly heading before arriving at the majestic Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Finally, we will land at Cat Bi International Airport (VVCI) in the Hai Phong area.
