Itinerary idea in detail
Ask us if you would also like us to arrange your international flights at our preferred rates.
After breakfast, we leave the vibrant streets of Hanoi behind for the serene beauty of Ha Long Bay. From Tuan Chau wharf on Tuan Chau Island, a short boat ride brings us to our cruise. A warm welcome drink awaits before a brief introduction and safety guidelines, then check-in.
Enjoy lunch on board as we glide past the limestone karsts of magnificent Ha Long Bay, making our way towards the tranquil Lan Ha Bay. In the afternoon, join our guide to explore the hidden charms of Dark and Bright Cave, passing under the mountain to a secluded lake like a “dragon’s eye” in the rock. You can either share a sampan with a local rower or take a kayak on your own.
Return to the cruise and change into your swimwear for a refreshing dip in the sea or the pool on the sundeck. Around 5:00 pm, unwind with happy hour drinks, watch the sunset if weather permits, and join a cooking demonstration with our chef. Dinner is served in the restaurant, followed by evening leisure - from watching films to karaoke, or even squid fishing with the crew. Overnight in Lan Ha Bay.
Wake early to greet the dawn and join a Tai Chi session on the sundeck. After a light breakfast, a smaller day-boat will take us deeper into Lan Ha Bay, weaving among scattered islands and untouched beaches before reaching Viet Hai dock. From here, cycle or take an electric car through lush valleys to Viet Hai Village, an isolated community surrounded by the towering peaks of Cat Ba National Park.
Return to the dock and board the day-boat again for a peaceful lunch, then spend the afternoon kayaking and swimming in pristine waters. Back on the main cruise, enjoy sunset views and happy hour before dinner. Overnight in Lan Ha Bay.
Savor a quiet morning with tea, coffee, and pastries as we continue cruising through Lan Ha Bay. Check out, enjoy an early lunch on board, then return to the wharf at noon. Transfer back to Hanoi for hotel check-in and relaxation. Overnight in Hanoi.
Free time until transfer to the airport for your departure flight. End of services.
