What people love about Vietnam Tours in December
- Vietnam - 10 Days. Departure every Monday and Sunday from Saigon
As a 51 year old solo female traveller I was apprehensive about travelling alone, I shouldn’t have worried, Mr Danny and his excellent team of tour guides made the experience something will never forget. From the first contact with Mr Danny before I set off to the final phone call he made to me in the taxi back to the airport to make sure I was OK, everything was organised. Vietnam is a beautiful place made even more special by the kind Vietnamese people and I would highly recommend travelling there and using Legend Travel.
- Scenic Vietnam
This tour exceeded expectations! I was a little scared at first but quickly settled into the flow. Our tour guide made Vietnam amazing!
- Best of Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi 7 Days - Super Save
The tour was really good. Danny was always there or constantly in touch ensuring everything went to plan. The best bit was Halong bay cruise , it was very well organised including the cruise staff and their hospitality. I was a solo female traveller, but I felt quite safe both in the country as well as in the hands of Legend Tours.
What our customers ask about Vietnam Tours in December 2025
What is the weather like in Vietnam during December?
December stands out as one of Vietnam's most favorable months for travel with clear regional differences. The northern regions of Hanoi and Halong Bay see comfortable temperatures hovering around 20°C (68°F) with low humidity levels making outdoor activities pleasant. Central Vietnam including Hoi An gets brief rain showers but remains suitable for exploration. The southern areas of Ho Chi Minh City and Mekong Delta maintain warm sunny days between 25-30°C (77-86°F). A TourRadar traveler noted "The weather in December was perfect for exploring the Cu Chi tunnels and cruising Halong Bay without being too hot or humid."
What are the best places to visit in Vietnam during December?
The year-end weather patterns create ideal conditions for visiting Vietnam's main attractions. Halong Bay presents clear visibility for boat trips and water activities. Hoi An transforms its Ancient Town with traditional lanterns for the holiday season. Hanoi opens up comfortable walking conditions for visiting the Temple of Literature. The Tirant Hotel serves as a practical base for city exploration. The Mekong Delta's waterways become especially inviting for river tours and local community visits. A TourRadar reviewer shared "December was the perfect time to explore everything from Halong Bay's limestone karsts to the peaceful Thu Bon River in Hoi An."
Are there any special festivals or events in Vietnam during December?
The month brings a mix of cultural celebrations across Vietnam. While not traditionally Vietnamese Christmas gets widespread attention particularly in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Urban centers light up with decorative displays and festive activities. A TourRadar traveler observed at Notre Dame Cathedral in Ho Chi Minh City: "The cathedral was getting ready for Christmas with beautiful decorations and the atmosphere was magical." Major markets including Ben Thanh in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Xuan in Hanoi set up special holiday sections.
What kind of accommodation options are available in Vietnam in December?
The peak season brings full operation of Vietnam's diverse lodging options. Hanoi features high-end choices like the 5-star Apricot Hotel alongside mid-range options such as the 3-star Mina Hotel. Halong Bay cruise accommodations range from the upscale Doris Cruise to the reliable Le Journey Cruise. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "The hotels were better than expected and our stay on La Pandora Cruise was truly unforgettable."
How busy is Vietnam during December?
December marks one of Vietnam's busiest travel periods especially around the winter holidays. Popular destinations like Halong Bay and Hoi An see significant visitor numbers. TourRadar data shows December consistently among the top 3 months for bookings representing nearly 15% of yearly visitors. A reviewer noted "While Halong Bay was busy in December our cruise operator Le Journey Cruise managed the crowds well and we still had an amazing experience."
What should I pack for Vietnam in December?
December travel in Vietnam requires strategic packing for varied conditions. Northern destinations like Hanoi need light jackets and long-sleeve options for evening temperatures between 15-20°C (59-68°F). Central and southern regions call for light breathable clothes plus rain protection. Beach destinations and Halong Bay activities require swimwear. A TourRadar traveler advised: "In December I needed both warm clothes for morning Halong Bay cruises and light clothing for afternoon walks through Ho Chi Minh City."
