5D4N Ninh Binh, Halong & Hanoi Zen Yoga Journey

Step into a slower rhythm of travel with our 5D4N Zen-Yoga Journey through Ninh Binh, Halong Bay and Hanoi, designed as a true wellness escape. This carefully planned yoga retreat combines Vietnam’s most scenic destinations with time for daily practice, meditation and mindfulness travel, allowing you to recharge in peaceful surroundings and experience the country’s rich traditions at a comfortable pace.

Begin in Ninh Binh, a landscape of limestone peaks, tranquil rivers and lush gardens. Here you’ll meet welcoming local guides and cultural hosts who introduce you to ancient pagodas, the waterways of Trang An and the panoramic view from Hang Mua. Between visits, enjoy space for your own outdoor yoga practice or quiet meditation in the resort’s healing nature.

Continue to Halong Bay for an overnight cruise among spectacular limestone islands. Rise early for sunrise yoga on the sundeck, join a Vietnamese cooking class and explore hidden lagoons by kayak. The calm waters, fresh air and mountain quiet of the bay make it ideal for restoration and slow living at sea.

Conclude your journey in Hanoi, Vietnam’s vibrant capital. Walk through the Old Quarter’s narrow streets, visit the Temple of Literature and enjoy a traditional water puppet show. Throughout the tour, you’ll have chances to experience local rituals, taste regional cuisine and learn about Vietnam’s ancient heritage while keeping your focus on wellness and mindful travel.

This Zen-Yoga spiritual journey is perfect for those seeking to blend gentle exploration with healing, yoga, and peaceful nature — a rare chance to discover Vietnam’s beauty at a slower pace and return home renewed.
