After a refreshing breakfast at your hotel, we will depart for Lan Ha Bay – Ha Long Bay’s lesser-known little cousin. After a three-hour drive, you will arrive at Cat Ba, the largest island in the Gulf of Tonkin, and head to Ben Beo pier. We will board a traditional boat for a cruise on the magical Lan Ha Bay. You will observe floating villages and marine farming while being served a delicious lunch on board. Around 1:30 p.m., the boat will anchor in front of the pristine beach of Van Boi where you will have free time to swim in the water or sunbathe on the ship’s deck. Later in the afternoon, we will head to Hang Ca or Dau Be cave for a kayaking excursion, another great way to experience the bay. At the end of the day the boat will drop anchor for the night in the middle of the bay. Dinner will be served and you will stay overnight on board.

We will spend the early morning relaxing and enjoying the sunrise over the unique limestone islands. Coffee, tea, and pastries are served for a light breakfast in the dining room, with a stunning morning view of the bay’s landscape. You will continue your adventure aboard a small day cruise, followed by a bicycle ride through rainforests and a dark tunnel at Viet Hai village. Enjoy the attractive scenery of rice fields and greenery along the way. After lunch, we will resume cruising and, if the weather permits, we will have time to go kayaking and swimming freely in the crystal blue water lagoon fully enclosed by vertical cliffs. Watch the magnificent sunset over the Gulf of Tonkin, followed by a traditional cooking class & delicious dinner served by our wonderful onboard catering staff. Overnight on Board

Today, we will wake up early to be rewarded with an exquisite view of the bay during sunrise. A fresh breakfast will be served on board at around 7:30 am. The boat will continue to sail in Lan Ha Bay, cruising through the most beautiful peaks and rocks. At around 8:45 am, we will arrive at Trung Trang Cave, an impressive cave in Lan Ha Bay. We will explore its gorgeous landscapes and listen to some myths about it. We will then get back to the boat to freshen up and spend free time in your cabins, while the boat cruises back to Ben Got. A delicious lunch/brunch will be served around 11 am. Then, we disembark and drive back to your hotel in Hanoi.
