What people love about Vietnam Tours in December
- Vietnam - 10 Days. Departure every Monday and Sunday from Saigon
It was all so well organised. The guides, bus drivers all knew their jobs well. Guides were professional and gave good information. I would recommend this holiday to everyone. Thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this holiday.
- Vietnam Best Deal In 10 Days
An excellent and supportive staff, and a really well-organized tour. Throughout the trip, there was easy communication and great flexibility on the part of the organizers. The daily travel and transit, which kept us nearly constantly on the move, are the only drawback of this vacation, but the places we visited were worth the effort. Besides, everything was perfect and met our standards; definitely recommend it!
- Simply Vietnam In 7 Days by Realistic Asia
Ninh Binh day tour was great experience. We loved it. The shuttle bus to Ha Long was convenient. Cabin in the cruise was clean but small. Ho Chi Minh was dynamic. I loved the boat trip there the most. Everything was well-organized and neat.
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."
