Itinerary
Embark on a two-day Halong Bay cruise, where the emerald waters and towering limestone formations of Lan Ha Bay set the stage for an unforgettable journey. After a comfortable pickup in Hanoi, board your boutique cruise at Tuan Chau Marina and settle in with a welcome drink. As the ship glides past floating fishing villages and toward Me Cung Cave, explore its royal lake and breathtaking mountain vistas with your guide.
Adventurous guests can kayak through tunnel caves, swim in tranquil lagoons, or simply unwind on the sundeck as the sun sets. Evening activities include a lively cooking demonstration on deck, a buffet BBQ dinner, and the chance to try squid fishing under the stars. On day two, visit an exclusive floating house in the Rang Dua area—offering rare insight into the lives of families still residing on the bay’s waters—before enjoying a farewell lunch as you cruise back to port.
This trip’s unique selling point is the combination of immersive activities and exclusive cultural experiences, making it ideal for travelers seeking both adventure and authenticity in Vietnam’s iconic Halong Bay.
