Tips

If you wish to extend your honeymoon, consider adding a few days in the scenic highlands of Sapa for trekking among terraced rice fields, or a beach stay in Phú Quốc for relaxed island time. Conversely, the itinerary can be compacted by skipping the Mekong Day Trip and reducing the Ho Chi Minh City stay to one night, saving both time and cost while still experiencing Vietnam’s cultural highlights.
