Vous souhaitez organiser un voyage privatif et sur mesure ?
Discover Halong Bay away from mass tourism on a junk with only 4 cabins. The Ocean Junk will take you through Lan Ha Bay, around Cat Ba Island.
On the program for these 2 days: relaxation, kayaking in a quiet, little-visited area, and cycling to Viet Hai village…
This four-cabin boat is exclusively available for private cruises, making it ideal for groups of friends who wish to explore the bay together.
This itinerary is highly recommended for travelers spending three weeks in Vietnam, or for those who wish to focus on Northern Vietnam and Halong Bay.
7:30 AM – Departure by bus from your hotel in Hanoi’s Old Quarter (if your hotel is not located in the Old Quarter, we will inform you of the meeting point).
10:00 AM – Arrival at Pha Got, board the speedboat / ferry.
11:00 AM – Arrival on Cat Ba Island, continue by bus to the south of the island.

1:30 PM – The junk stops in front of Van Boi Beach (or another spot) for lunch and a first introduction to Vietnamese cuisine, mainly based on fresh seafood.
2:45 PM – Time for swimming at Van Boi Beach, which is completely wild and untouched, or simply relax and contemplate the beauty of this wonder from the boat’s upper deck.
3:45 PM – The boat will take you further into the bay towards Ba Trai Dao or Dau Be for a beautiful kayak excursion off the tourist tracks, another way to discover the bay.

At 8:00 AM, the junk continues sailing through Lan Ha Bay, passing close to the most beautiful peaks and rock formations. You will visit a floating house where the locals raise fish.
Return to the boat around 10:00 AM. Time for a shower before checking out of your cabins as the junk heads back to Beo Pier.
11:00 AM – Enjoy a brunch on board.
Disembark around 11:45 AM. End of the cruise.
The Moonlight, Romance, Ocean 4 cabins and Four Seasons are small boats and do not have a full-time guide on board.

For all other junks, there is an English-speaking guide on board who will facilitate all activities during the cruise.
Everything is included except:
Yes, tipping is customary in Vietnam and depends on your level of satisfaction.
If you have a private guide, the expected tip is usually higher.
Not at all. Today, all cruise operators adapt to guests’ dietary preferences.
Just let us know in advance.
By default, transport is shared.
If you choose a cruise in Lan Ha Bay, you will take a Daiichi bus to Beo Pier, then a ferry or speedboat to Cat Ba Island.
For Halong Bay or Bai Tu Long Bay cruises, transportation is provided by the cruise company’s bus.
If you prefer, you can book a private car (7 or 16 seats).
Yes, it’s possible to go to Tam Coc (Ninh Binh) after a cruise in Lan Ha Bay, Halong Bay, or Bai Tu Long Bay.
This is usually arranged with Daiichi transport.
