World-renowned cuisine and inspiring natural landscapes make Vietnam a must visit destination. From cooking classes to cruising island-studded bays, uncover five unmissable experiences that offer the key to unlocking an authentic glimpse of Vietnam.

Cruise Ha Long Bay

It’s easy to see why Ha Long Bay has achieved World Heritage status, with its picturesque landscape made up of over 1,900 towering limestone karsts and islets jutting out from emerald waters. A three-day luxury cruise aboard the Au Co reveals the wonders of the bay at close quarters. Like a scene straight from a postcard, soak up these otherworldly views from the Sun Deck – with a cocktail in hand, of course.

Ho Chi Minh City is home to a smorgasbord of exceptional restaurants, including the highly acclaimed Vietnam House. Owned by Vietnamese- Australian celebrity chef Luke Nguyen, the restaurant is a love letter to contemporary Vietnamese cuisine with a menu that features fresh seafood, black caviar, Wagyu sirloin and more. To elevate the experience, sip a specially crafted cocktail created for APT guests.

Hoi An Eco Tour

Head out to the countryside and roll up your sleeves to help a local farmer with various farming activities, from sowing seeds to watering plants and learning about cultivation techniques. Afterwards, set off on a journey by basket boat — a traditional form of transport used by local fishermen — to explore the water coconut palm jungle.

Red Bridge Cooking School in Hoi An

Hoi An’s Central Market is a hot spot for local produce and fresh seafood. Learn how ingredients are used in traditional bites, before heading to the Red Bridge Cooking School to craft well known dishes, including fresh rice paper rolls and crispy Hoi An shrimp pancakes, before sitting down to enjoy your efforts at lunch.
