Search flights from DAD to HPH
Son Tra Peninsula
A stunning view of 'Monkey Mountain' and the Linh Ung Pagoda's giant statue overlooking the bay right after departure.
Gulf of Tonkin
Endless views of the turquoise waters dotted with fishing fleets and large cargo vessels heading toward northern ports.
Lan Ha Bay
The highlight of the trip, featuring thousands of limestone karsts and emerald waters as the plane aligns for its final approach.
Lach Huyen Port
One of Vietnam's most modern deep-water ports, showcasing the industrial scale of Haiphong's maritime economy.
The Right Side is essential for those wanting to see the scenic bays. To avoid the intense glare of the sun reflecting off the sea, a late afternoon flight is ideal. Ensure you sit forward of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the limestone islands during the descent into HPH.

The rugged peaks of the Annamite Range provide a dramatic backdrop to the west throughout the flight's cruise phase.
Hue Imperial City
