You will be missing a big part of Vietnamese life if you do not spend some time on a boat.
Tour boats can be hired for around US$20 for a day's tour, or you can book through a tour company. Ha Long Bay is a famous destination for one- to three-day boat trips among its scenic limestone islands.
Dozens of small family-operated boats ply the river in Hue, taking visitors to the imperial tombs southwest of the city.
Snorkel - fishing - lunch trips are available from Nha Trang, Hoi An, and Phu Quoc to nearby islands.
A day-long boat trip forms the core of almost any tour of the Mekong region.
