After breakfast, embark on a scenic 2½-hour journey through the peaceful countryside of the Red River Delta, passing by lush rice paddies and local villages before arriving at Tuan Chau Marina, the gateway to Ha Long Bay — a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its emerald waters and majestic limestone pillars.
Upon arrival, board your Ha Long Cruise and receive a warm welcome from the friendly crew with a refreshing drink and a brief orientation about the cruise itinerary and safety guidelines. Settle into your comfortable cabin, then enjoy a sumptuous seafood lunch served in the dining room as the boat begins gliding through the breathtaking scenery of the bay. Admire iconic limestone formations such as Dinh Huong (Incense Burner Islet), Cho Da (Stone Dog Islet), and Ga Choi (Fighting Cocks Islet) — each shaped by nature over millions of years.
In the afternoon, the cruise anchors near a quiet area of the bay. Visit a local pearl farm to learn about traditional pearl cultivation, or explore the magnificent Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Ha Long Bay, filled with shimmering stalactites and stalagmites. Afterwards, you can go kayaking or swim in the calm, jade-green waters surrounded by towering cliffs.
As the sun sets, return to the cruise for sunset cocktails on the sundeck, the perfect time to capture stunning photos of the golden horizon. Join an interactive Vietnamese cooking class, where the chef will guide you to make traditional spring rolls or other local favourites.
In the evening, enjoy a romantic dinner served on board under a starry sky, followed by free time to relax, try squid fishing, or simply unwind with a drink at the bar.
