The classic first trip. Old Quarter chaos, then the quiet of the bay.
This is the classic first trip to Vietnam — and the easiest way in. You start in Hanoi, playing morning sessions with local club players and eating your way through the Old Quarter, then trade the city for the calm of Ha Long Bay on an overnight cruise. Short, rich, and beginner-friendly. Small group, real courts, and a local team who handle every detail.
Everything below is a sample itinerary. We tailor the pace, the play, and the sights to your group before you travel — you tell us the vibe, we shape the days around it.
Every hard-effort thing happens in the cool of the morning. The hot hours are always yours.
Land at Hanoi's Noi Bai Airport and transfer into the city (about 45 minutes). Settle in, then head out for an evening street-food walk through the Old Quarter — pho, bun cha, egg coffee, and the chaos of the guild streets after dark. An easy, delicious first night.
Your first pickleball session on indoor courts with local club players — a warm welcome into Hanoi's fast-growing scene. In the afternoon, see the city the easy way: Train Street, Hoan Kiem Lake, and the coffee culture that Hanoi does better than anywhere.
Transfer to the coast and board your overnight cruise through Ha Long Bay — thousands of limestone karst islands rising from emerald water. Kayak into a quiet lagoon, visit a cave, and watch the sun go down from the deck. Dinner and a night aboard.
Wake up on the water for a quiet bay morning — tai chi on deck, a last cruise through the islands, brunch aboard. Back on land, we finish with a relaxed doubles round-robin on a resort court before returning to Hanoi for the night.
A slow last morning in Hanoi — a final egg coffee, any last-minute shopping in the Old Quarter — before we transfer you to the airport for your flight home. Short trip, but you'll leave with the city under your skin.
Tell us roughly when you'd like to travel and how many of you there are. We'll tailor the week to your group and answer anything — no deposit to ask a question.
