Unforgettable Experiences on Nigeria to Hanoi Tours
Hidden Treasures of Hanoi – A Journey Beyond the Ordinary
Forget the tourist hotspots, our Hanoi tours penetrate deep into the city, its real culture, and best-kept secrets. Visit Chua Bat Thap, a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path temple, an escape from city life, an opportunity to sit and discover in tranquility. Stroll through Ngoc Ha Market, where Hanoi citizens buy produce, spices, and traditional herbs, a glimpse into life in Hanoi for real.
For a touch of beauty, stroll down Phung Hung Street, whose murals celebrate Hanoi’s rich past in vibrant colors. Most exciting, however, is a chance encounter with traditional village craftsmen and women in traditional village settings. Marvel at the careful skill of Bat Trang ceramic craftsmen, whose pot-making skill reaches centuries long. In Van Phuc Village, witness skilled fingers creating magnificent Vietnamese silk, a heritage over a thousand years old.
Unparalleled Halong Bay Experience – A Luxurious Escape to Secluded Beauty
Step aboard a luxurious private boat and sail into the breathtaking beauty of Halong Bay. Instead of crowded tour routes with visitors, our Nigeria to Hanoi tours will have you discovering untouched beauty in Lan Ha Bay, with its soaring islands and emerald-green water creating an unspoiled haven. Cruise through secluded sea grottoes and lagoons in a kayak, and discover secluded beaches out of range of visitors’ tides.
As the sun sets, sit out on your private deck with a cocktail, and watch the sky become a work of art in colors of pinks, oranges, and purples. On your second day, indulge in even more activity with a journey to Cat Ba Island, home of Cat Ba National Park. Hike through lush jungles, explore the fascinating Quan Y Cave, and ride a bike through the Viet Hai Village, in which rural life hasn’t changed in centuries. That’s Halong Bay in a whole new manner—intimate, private, and unforgettable.
Trekking in Sapa’s Unspoiled Beauty – A Journey Through Vietnam’s Highlands
If you’re in search of an adventure, our Hanoi tours defy convention with an unforgettable trekking experience in Sapa. Forget about crowded towns and follow traditional trails through mist-shrouded valleys, paddy fields, and off-the-beaten-road ethnic villages. Instead of taking traditional tourist trails, our Nigeria to Hanoi tours go off-road to Ta Phin Village, home to Red Dao tribespeople, and enable you to indulge in a traditional herbal bath with herbs and flowers foraged in the hills.
For an even deeper plunge into village life, trek deeper into Ban Ho Village, with its cascading waterfalls and emerald-green paddies creating one of Vietnam’s most breathtaking vistas. For the ultimate, sleep in a homestay with an ethnic minority family. Share a meal with them, exchanging stories of adventure, and soak in their rich cultures. And then wake to country sounds. It doesn’t get any more real, any truer Sapa than this away from the crowds and in the heart of Vietnam’s high country.

Essential Travel Tips for Nigeria to Hanoi Tours
Visa & Entry Requirements for Nigeria to Hanoi Tours
One of the most important things to do before embarking on your Hanoi tour is getting the proper visa. Fortunately enough, two convenient options for visitors with Nigerian passports are available in Vietnam:
- Visa on Arrival (VOA): It is pre-clearance before your journey and allows one to pick up your visa upon arrival in Vietnam.
- E-Visa: An electronic visa is a simpler alternative, and you can apply and get approval before travel.
To avoid eleventh-hour complications, submit your visa application at least 2-3 weeks before your flight. Our Hanoi to Nigeria tours team can assist you in processing the necessary documents to ensure that your arrival is stress-free.
Best Time for Nigeria to Hanoi Tours: When Vietnam is at Its Best
The climate varies in regions, and choosing a proper season can make your Hanoi tours even nicer. There are ideal times for visiting:
- Spring (March-May): Enjoy mild weather, blooming flowers, and urban life in Hanoi, Sapa, and Halong Bay.
- Autumn (September – November): Appreciate mild temperatures, lovely yellow rice paddies in Sapa, and blue sky over Halong Bay.
Try to miss out during the summer months (June – August) if you’re not a fan of warm temperatures, and remember that winter (December – February) can become frigid in North Vietnam, specifically in Sapa.
Packing Essentials for Nigeria to Hanoi Tours
Your Nigeria to Hanoi tours will include city streets and mist-shrouded trails, and proper gear is a necessity. What you will need is:
- Lightweight clothing: Best for Hanoi and Halong Bay’s hot and humid weather.

Currency & Payment in Nigeria to Hanoi Tours
The Vietnamese Dong (VND) is the national currency in Vietnam, with credit cards being taken in larger cities, but cash is preferred, especially in rural areas.
- Currency exchange: Exchange a little VND when arriving, or use an ATM for the best rates.
- Cash vs. Card: Luxury restaurants and hotels utilize cards, but street food, small stores, and restaurants use cash.
- Mobile payments: Widespread in Vietnam, mobile wallets like ZaloPay and Momo will at times not work for visitors, and having cash with you at all times is a wise precaution.
Cultural Etiquette in Nigeria to Hanoi Tours
The Vietnamese people are welcoming, and respecting local etiquette will help you build meaningful connections on your Hanoi tours. Here are some of the key etiquette tips:
- Dress conservatively at holy sites: Cover your shoulders and knees when visiting pagodas and temples in a sign of respect.
- Greet locals with a smile: Smile with a warm one, for a warm smile is universally appreciated at any time. Greet with “Xin chao" and say “Cam on" for “Thank you."
- Remove footwear at homes: Remove your shoes when entering a homestay in Sapa, a nearby residence, or a family’s private dwelling.
- Receive things with both hands: In case of offering money, a present, or taking it from a person, use both hands. It is a sign of respect.
