I have a trip planned for the last two weeks of March next year with my 2 teenagers. I’m pretty solid on most of our plans, but have about 5 nights that I’m deciding how we should spend them from Hanoi:
1) this is where I’m currently at: 2 nights Mai Chau (be there for the sunday morning market), 2 nights Ninh Binh; 1 night Halong Bay Cruise (read alot of mixed reviews for the cruise). this feels like alot in a small amount of time…
2)I had really wanted to go to Sapa for the cultural/village experience, but it seems that the last 2 weeks of March might not be the best, so that’s where I ended up with #1 above
3) had thought about Ha Giang loop – seems most love this experience, but I’m a bit nervous to do it with my children (15 boy and 17 yo girl)
So – how would you spend 5 nights in the north? we will be in Hanoi for 4 nights after these 5 nights, and before that are coming from Hue (1 night) /Hoi An (3 nights) /HCMC (2 nights).
thank you!

We did Halong Bay private tour in April ..it was fantastic not too busy, had the whole boat to ourselves.. and I think the kids would enjoy the kayaking.bit cold maybe for swimming.. we did a day trip that was perfect for us.
Ninh binh is also a good option

I know! I let toan know the day we were arriving by night train and he suggested this, but i’m thinking i will ask to change it! i’m doubting this one. I think we will tour with him on second day. and I’m also thinking 3 nights in ninh binh to relax, and then 3 nights in hanoi.
