Itinerary

Day 1

Hanoi - Halong - Halong bay (L, D)

If you book a transfer from Hanoi, pickup takes place between 8:30 and 9:00 AM (the drive to Halong Bay is about 2.5 hours), and if you wish to board on the same day as your arrival at Nội Bài Airport, your flight must land by 6:00–7:00 AM at the latest; highlights include the secluded Tung Sau area, known for pearl farming and perfect for kayaking in its crystal-clear waters, a MasterChef-style experience where you can learn to cook Vietnamese dishes and watch fruit-carving demonstrations while enjoying the sunset, and a fun squid fishing session at night, offering an authentic and convivial moment just like the locals.

Day 2

Halong bay (B, L, D)

This day cruise includes visits to three main areas: Luon Cave, accessible only by traditional rowboat through a natural tunnel and known for its striking limestone formations; Cua Van Floating Village, home to a fishing community living in floating houses where you can take a boat ride with locals to observe their way of life; and the Trinh Nu area, featuring the naturally lit Trinh Nu Cave and a quiet beach ideal for swimming or kayaking. Activities include a rowboat excursion in Luon, a visit to Cua Van with local boatmen, kayaking or swimming at Trinh Nu, a fruit-carving demonstration on board, and a relaxing Vietnamese herbal foot bath made with medicinal plants, mineral salts, and active charcoal to promote relaxation and improve sleep.

Day 3

Halong bay - Hanoi or Tam Coc (B, L)

The cruise ends with a visit to Me Cung Cave, located 25 meters above sea level on Lom Bo Island, about 2 km southwest of Titov Island, where labyrinth-like galleries and ancient stalactites await, along with a panoramic view of the bay from its entrance; activities include a peaceful Tai Chi session at sunrise on the sundeck facing the UNESCO-listed landscapes and an exploration of the less-visited Me Cung Cave for a quiet discovery of its rock formations and views, before disembarking around 10:00 AM and returning to Hanoi or Nội Bài Airport, with arrival expected between 1:30 and 2:30 PM depending on traffic and vehicle type—travelers are advised to plan onward flights, trains, or buses accordingly.
