Itinerary

📍 Hanoi - Halong (160 km): 2.5hours

The perfect way to see the UNESCO World Heritage areas of Halong and Lan Ha Bay is to spend a night aboard a charming boat. The mystical scenery, where thousands of limestone islands jut out of the emerald sea, sculpted into wondrous shapes covered in lush flora is truly breathtaking.   

Following breakfast leave Hanoi at 08:00 for the 2.5hours drive to Halong City. Arrive at the Tuan Chau International Port then at 10:30 (approx) proceed with check-in formalities. 

Once onboard, relax before lunch is served as the cruise navigates through the magnificent Bai Tu Long Bay, offering views of captivating formations along the way. 

While sharing the same dramatic limestone karsts and emerald waters as Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay is significantly less crowded. A large portion of the bay is protected as Bai Tu Long National Park, an ASEAN Heritage Park, and it's home to traditional floating fishing villages.

Mid-afternoon brings active exploration by kayak through calm waters and towering cliffs, guided by our crew. The boat then anchors in a peaceful bay for the night.

As evening descends, enjoy a multi-course à la carte dinner, followed by optional activities such as squid fishing, meditation, or board games. 

Overnight on Bai Tu Long Bay. 

Notes: 
- The cruise’s itinerary may be subject to change depending on weather conditions.
- Over the past years Halong Bay has been experiencing increasing environmental problems such as pollution, overfishing and impairment of its natural habitats. We encourage you to enjoy the beauty of Halong Bay, but also to help protect and preserve it so that future generations can experience its beauty with responsible tourism behaviour which is crucial to reducing issues on Halong Bay and ensuring its long-term sustainability.
- To ensure we can effectively manage guest dietary needs during the cruise, please provide a list of any specific food restrictions or preferences at least 7 days prior to arrival. Please note that accommodating last-minute dietary changes may not be feasible and could incur additional costs

Wake up early and start a new day with a Tai Chi session on the deck or some early morning meditation on a nearby islet. Have breakfast while leisurely immersing in the serene setting of the spectacular rock formations on the bay. 

The morning excursion begins at Thien Canh Son Cave. After a gentle 100-step climb, enjoy sweeping views and explore a prehistoric cavern of chandeliers. Continue to Vung Vieng, a floating village where locals share their time-honored life on fish and pearl farming.
Back on board, savor lunch while sailing west, then join an oyster-harvesting or traditional “phin” coffee-making workshop. 
As the day winds down, reach a secluded beach for barefoot relaxation: swim, sip sundowners with canapés, mingle, or simply enjoy the fading light.
