Is this a good one?
- Against others of its kind
- At $100 a day this sits right at the $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 12 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
- Other things to learn in Vietnam
- 2 other options in Vietnam, starting with vietnamese street food cooking in Hanoi from $150.

- How long it really takes
- Most people give it 6 days, but the honest range is 4 to 14. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
