Start the day with a relaxed drive from Surat to Mumbai, arriving mid-morning and checking into your hotel near the city centre or Colaba for convenience. Stretch your legs with a gentle walk along Marine Drive or a quick visit to the Gateway of India to soak up the sea breeze and iconic views before settling in.
After lunch, unwind at your hotel — take a short nap or enjoy the pool to recover from the journey. If you’re feeling energetic, explore nearby Kala Ghoda for its galleries and cafés, or stop by Leopold Café in Colaba for a classic Mumbai atmosphere and light snacks.
At around 8:00 PM, take a taxi to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (Terminal 2) to be ready for your early flight the next day; use the time at the airport to check travel documents and confirm transfers in Vietnam. If you have extra time before leaving the city, enjoy a calm sunset at Chowpatty Beach or a final dinner at a nearby restaurant, then head to the airport to relax and prepare for departure.
Rise early for your flights: fly Mumbai → Bangkok (Thai VietJet Air VZ-761) and connect Bangkok → Phu Quoc (VZ-980). Aim to arrive around 11:00 AM, collect luggage, and meet the Radisson Blu shuttle (around 12:30 PM) to your hotel — check in, freshen up, and take a short rest after travel before heading out.
After a leisurely hotel lunch and a quick shower, stroll nearby beaches or relax by the Radisson Blu pool to shake off the journey; if you prefer a short excursion, ask the front desk to arrange a quick island taxi to nearby Bai Truong for a beach walk and photos. Return to the hotel to recharge so you’re ready for an eventful evening at Grand World.
Head to Grand World Phu Quoc around 5:00 PM to explore attractions like the Teddy Bear Museum and Bamboo Legend, then take the romantic gondola/venice canal boat ride with Rooty Trip as lights come on. Finish the night with dinner inside the Grand World — Lake Masala for familiar Indian flavours or the 100% vegetarian Maharaja Lounge — then catch the Grand World light show (after 9:00 PM) before returning to your hotel.
Begin your day with an 8:30 AM visit to Vinpearl Safari Phu Quoc, where you'll stroll through open-air exhibits and see giraffes, rhinos and playful primates on the guided safari route; don’t miss the feeding sessions and the bird show for great photo ops. After exploring the themed zones, relax with a light snack at one of the park cafés and take in the landscaped enclosures before heading back to your hotel by early afternoon.
If you’re up for more adventure, take a taxi to Sơn Hải Quán and join a boat trip to Rạch Vẹm to hunt for the famous starfish on the shallow shores — the local guides know the best tide times and quiet sandbanks for easy spotting. Alternatively, return to the hotel around 3:00 PM to swim, nap or enjoy the Radisson Blu pool and beach, and prepare for a relaxed evening.
At dusk, head out for a leisurely dinner at Maharaja Lounge in the Grand World complex for vegetarian fare, or try Lake Masala if you prefer Indian flavours; both offer comfortable atmospheres after a busy day. If energy remains, take a short walk through Grand World’s lit-up streets to soak in the evening lights before returning to your hotel to rest for tomorrow’s VinWonders day.
Check out from Radisson Blu after breakfast but leave your larger luggage with the concierge for pickup later; grab a light daypack and catch the short transfer to VinWonders when it opens. Start at the park’s headline rides and family-friendly zones — ride the thrilling roller coasters, wander the themed streets of the Adventure and Fairy Tale areas, and pop into the Teddy Bear Museum for quirky photos.
Spend the afternoon exploring VinWonders’ aquariums, cultural shows and interactive exhibits; pause for a leisurely lunch at one of the park’s cafés to refuel before trying water rides or the gentle carousel.

Rise early and meet your speedboat at the pier around 8:00 AM for the 4-island tour — expect quick island hops to destinations like Hòn Thơm, Hòn Dừa and Hòn Rỏi where you can snorkel clear shallows, swim over coral patches and take shoreline photos. Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a snorkel mask (or rent one locally) to make the most of the underwater life, and enjoy a simple beachside lunch provided on the boat or carry snacks as recommended.
After island stops, head to the Aquatopia Water Park near the cable car for some relaxed slides, lazy-river drifting and pool time — it’s a fun contrast to the morning’s active snorkeling and a great place to cool off. If you returned to the mainland earlier, stroll the café strip at Sun World Phu Quoc or take the cable car for panoramic island views before heading back to your accommodation to freshen up.
Make your way to Kiss Bridge (Sunset Town) in the late afternoon to claim a vantage point for sunset — watch the sky and sea shift colours and enjoy street performers and local stalls as twilight falls. At 8:30 PM, stick around for the Kiss of the Sea show, then choose a beachfront dinner nearby (Maa Indian Restaurant or a local seafood spot) to cap a busy, sun-filled day.
Check out early and take a taxi to Phu Quoc Airport for your mid-morning flight to Da Nang; arrive around noon, collect bags and enjoy a quick coffee at the airport before your Marble Mountains & Hoi An tour picks you up.

Settle into your Da Nang hotel, unpack, and have dinner at a seaside restaurant sampling local specialties like fresh clams or grilled squid before turning in after a full day of mountains, history and coastal charm.
Start the day with a relaxed beach morning at Mỹ Khê Beach — walk the soft sand, grab a coconut from a beachside vendor and take a refreshing swim while watching local fishermen set out. If you’d like a short active option, rent a bicycle or e-bike to cruise the coastal road toward the Sơn Trà turnoff, enjoying sea views and the cooling sea breeze.
Head up the Sơn Trà Peninsula after lunch to visit Linh Ung Pagoda and the towering Lady Buddha statue; climb the steps to the viewpoint for sweeping panoramas of Da Nang Bay and the city skyline, then explore nearby trails or the quiet Tien Sa headland. Drop by the artisan marble workshops near Ngũ Hành Sơn on the way back for a look at traditional carving and to pick up a small handcrafted souvenir.

After a leisurely lunch at a café in the French Village, explore the hilltop gardens, Monet-inspired flower displays and the Linh Ung pagoda replica; visit the Debay Wine Cellar and the alpine-style plazas for a touch of European charm. Fit in a few family-friendly rides and the Fantasy Park indoor attractions if you want some playful downtime before the descent.
Take the cable car back down as late afternoon light softens the hills, returning to Da Nang for a relaxed dinner near the Han River. Cap the day with an evening stroll along the riverfront to see the city lights and Dragon Bridge from a new perspective, reflecting on a day of dramatic views and whimsical mountain architecture.

Depart Hanoi early (around 6:30 AM) and transfer by comfortable shuttle to Halong Bay, arriving at the cruise terminal mid-morning to board Iris Cruise (or similar). After a welcome drink and safety briefing, glide into the emerald bay past towering limestone karsts and head to Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave or a similar showpiece cave for an easy guided walk through dramatic stalactites and cavern chambers.
Enjoy a freshly prepared onboard lunch as the cruise weaves between iconic islets, then anchor in a calm cove for kayaking or bamboo boat rides around secluded grottoes and floating fishing villages — take time to paddle beneath sheer cliffs and spot local squid boats. Later, explore Titov Island or a quieter swim stop to stretch your legs and climb to the viewpoint for sweeping panoramic photos of the bay before returning to the vessel.
If you’re on an overnight option, settle into your cabin and watch the sunset paint the karsts while the crew prepares a Vietnamese seafood dinner on deck, then try squid fishing or relax on the sundeck under stars. For day-trip passengers returning to Hanoi, enjoy a final coffee and light snacks as the cruise turns back toward the harbor, arriving late evening with memories of the bay’s ethereal landscape.
Board the morning bus from Hanoi toward Sapa (expect a 5-6 hour scenic drive) and settle in with a view of rice terraces rolling by; bring a light jacket and snacks for the journey and enjoy stops at roadside viewpoints to stretch your legs.
