Day 1: Hanoi – Ha Long Bay
You will be met by our tour guide this morning for an amazing 2 day journey to Halong Bay.
Halong Bay is one of the most enchanting and mesmerizing experiences in Vietnam.
The postcard pictures you so often see of Ha Long Bay will become a cherished memory to last a lifetime.
We leave the city behind and drive through the Red River Delta to Halong Bay, taking around 3.5 hours.
The beautiful countryside that awaits your imagination, takes us through local farming life and villages, providing us plenty of opportunities to stop and capture some spectacular photographs. Be sure to keep an eye out for the amazing things the locals load onto their motorbikes!!
On-route, we make a stop for refreshment at Hong Ngoc Humanities
centre in Sao Do town. This establishment has been set up to provide skill and employment to people from small villages throughout the north of Vietnam, creating jobs and providing accommodation to disadvantaged people. You have the opportunity to purchase some exquisite local handicrafts and wares or just watch and admire the amazing and intricate workmanship involved in the production.
Arriving in Halong Bay, we board our boat and enjoy a spectacular seafood lunch as we sail off into Dragon Bay, gazing at the breathtaking karts formations within the bay.
After lunch have some free time to relax and admire the beauty of the Bay as we cruise through hundreds of formations.
Throughout our cruise today, you will have the opportunity to disembark the boat and explore Sung Sot cave, where you will learn how karsts were formed in this area millions of years ago.
For beach lovers and swimmers, we make a stop at one of the sandy beaches for swimming or just relaxing.
We continue cruising the bay until the late afternoon, before setting anchor for the night.
Once anchored, there’s plenty of time for swimming or just relaxing to admire the scenery, before sitting down to another scrumptious meal.
After dinner, why not head to the top deck and enjoy a relaxing drink whilst admiring the peaceful ambience and gazing at the millions of stars.
Overnight onboard

Day 2: Ha Long – Hanoi
This morning we take a small bamboo boat to visit Luon, a beautiful tunnel cave set within a lagoon.
We re-board our boat and continue cruising the bay, through the old part of Halong City, known as the fishing town and the new built harbor bridge, whilst we enjoy our seafood brunch before heading back to the pier for our return to Hanoi.
Trip ends.
