Why choosing Moonlight junk ?
Away from the crowds
By choosing a cruise on the Moonlight boat in Lan Ha Bay, you treat yourself to a peaceful stay in a part of Halong Bay that remains untouched by mass tourism. This allows you to fully enjoy the magic of this exceptional place.
A private junk
There are fewer and fewer small boats in Halong Bay, and the Moonlight junk is one of the last that can be fully privatized by couples or small families. Today, having a private boat is truly a rare luxury!
The Chef’s Cuisine
We offer meals of a much higher quality than what is typically served on other boats in Halong Bay. What’s more, we adapt to your dietary requirements!
Book our Moonlight junk
The Moonlight junk is a traditional 2-cabin wooden boat sailing around Cat Ba Island in Lan Ha Bay. Boarding and disembarkation take place at Beo Port, located in the south of Cat Ba Island.
The junk features two air-conditioned cabins, each with its own private bathroom (shower and toilet). It has an upper deck with a sheltered dining area, as well as sun loungers where you can relax and admire the enchanting scenery of Halong Bay.
This junk is perfect for couples seeking romance, small families, or friends wishing to share special moments together. With a capacity of 4 adults and 2 small children, the Moonlight offers an intimate and exclusive experience, far from the large tourist crowds. Whether for a honeymoon, a wedding anniversary, or a family getaway, this boat provides an unforgettable setting to peacefully sail through one of the world’s most beautiful bays.
It is also possible to book just one cabin for shared cruises at a lower cost than a private charter.
We can arrange round-trip transportation from Hanoi by private bus, with the option of continuing from Cat Ba Island to Ninh Binh.

Is there an English tour guide onboard ?
The Moonlight junk is a private 2-cabin boat, and there is no guide permanently on board. However, you can hire the services of a English-speaking guide to accompany you on the cruise. The guide will join you from Hanoi.
Can we go to Ninh Binh after the cruise tour ?
Yes, it is possible to travel to Ninh Binh after the cruise. You can choose between a bus, which will take you to Tam Coc, or a private car, which can drop you off directly at your hotel anywhere in Ninh Binh (whether in Tam Coc or, for example, in Trang An).
Where do the bus drop us off after the cruise?
After the cruise, the bus will take you either to Hanoi or to Tam Coc (Ninh Binh). In Hanoi, you will be dropped off at the company’s office located near the Old Quarter. In Tam Coc, the bus can drop you off directly at your hotel. If your hotel is outside Tam Coc (for example in Trang An), the bus will drop you off at the company’s office.
How is the crossing to Cat Ba Island done?
The crossing is done either by ferry or by speedboat, depending on passenger traffic. During the summer season, when many holidaymakers from Hanoi visit Cat Ba Island, you will take the speedboat to avoid long waiting times for the ferry. Both options are safe, but you should expect a bit of waiting time during transfers. Upon arrival on Cat Ba Island, another bus will pick you up and take you directly to Beo Port, where your cruise will begin.
Can we bring large luggage?
It is absolutely possible to bring large luggage with you, especially since the Moonlight junk is private.
I don’t ride a bike — how can I visit Viet Hai village?
There are small electric cars that will take you to and from Viet Hai village. The cost is included in our service.
What is not included in the cruise?
A guide, drinks during meals, crew tips, and personal expenses
Should we tip the crew?
It is indeed customary to leave a tip, depending on your level of satisfaction.
Is water on board charged?
You will have a bottle of water in your cabin. Other drinks are charged, but of course, you are welcome to bring your own water with you.
I am vegetarian, is that a problem?
No problem at all — the onboard chef will adapt. Just let us know in advance.
