Cruise past the city’s iconic nightlife districts and end your evening at a rooftop bar with a cold craft beer and sweeping panoramic views of the glittering skyline.

Ride Through the City Like a Local

Night Tour Itinerary

✔ District 4 – Seafood Street Food Heaven

Cross the river into the district known for its lively food culture. Taste freshly cooked seafood and experience the buzz of true local dining.

✔ Hidden Local Cuisine: Banh Xeo Stop

Head to a tucked-away eatery to try Banh Xeo—crispy Vietnamese pancakes most travelers never get the chance to enjoy in an authentic setting.

✔ Alleyways, Local Markets & Backstreets

Cruise through Saigon’s less-visited districts and maze-like alleys. This is where the real daily life unfolds—street vendors, food stalls, markets, and lively neighborhoods.

Along the way, cool down with Saigon’s famous coconut ice cream.

✔ Rooftop Bar & Nightlife District

End the evening in the city’s popular nightlife zone. Enjoy a cold craft beer on a rooftop overlooking Saigon glowing at night.

Afterward, your guide will take you back to your accommodation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for planning a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with Ava Travel.

Halong Bay is approximately 160km east of Hanoi, usually about a 3 to 3.5-hour drive by expressway. Ava Travel can arrange shared shuttle or private transfer from Hanoi and confirm the exact pickup time before you book.
Lan Ha Bay is the southern extension of Halong Bay, near Cat Ba Island. It has similar limestone scenery but often feels quieter. Many premium cruises operate around Lan Ha Bay for a calmer overnight route.
A 2-day / 1-night cruise works well if your schedule is short and you want the classic overnight experience. A 3-day / 2-night cruise gives more time for kayaking, swimming, remote areas, and a slower pace.
The best months are usually October to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. Summer can still be beautiful, but rain and storm changes are more common, so Ava Travel checks weather and operator updates before departure.
Most overnight cruises include cabin accommodation, onboard meals, entrance fees for the scheduled route, and activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, cooking class, or squid fishing. Drinks, spa, tips, and transfers depend on the cruise package and are confirmed before payment.
Send Ava Travel your travel date, group size, and cabin preference. We check live availability, confirm the best current price, explain inclusions, and help you complete secure checkout once everything is clear.
