You will enjoy a full-day excursion through Ha Long and Lan Ha Bays, following a different itinerary that combines sailing among karst islets, water activities, and moments of relaxation on board. The experience will begin with pick-up from your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter and transfer to Tuan Chau Port, with an intermediate stop to stretch your legs, use the restroom, or have a coffee before continuing the journey.
Once at the port, you will board the cruise and begin sailing through the characteristic landscapes of the bay while enjoying a welcome drink. On board, you will savor a Vietnamese lunch made with local products, with the possibility of trying local seafood as the boat heads toward more remote areas of Ha Long.
Afterwards, you will take part in an activity that brings you closer to the rock formations from the water. You may choose between kayaking or joining a bamboo boat ride with a rower, enjoying the surroundings from a closer and calmer perspective. Later, you will sail toward the waters of Lan Ha Bay, where you will be able to swim and, if you wish, jump from the boat.
During the rest of the journey, you will find coffee, cookies, and fruit on the deck to accompany the views, and you will take part in a cooking demonstration focused on summer rolls, learning about their history, ingredients, and preparation, with the possibility of making some yourself. Finally, you will enjoy the return journey as the landscape changes with the sunset light, accompanied by Vietnamese tea, fruit, and sweets, before heading back to Hanoi after disembarking at Tuan Chau.
