Description
Discover the wonders Vietnam has to offer on a 2-day cruise from Hanoi. Sample Vietnamese cuisine, admire fascinating rock formations, marvel at the beauty of nature, swim in Halong Bay, kayak in a local pearl farm, and more during your boat trip. Stay in an air-conditioned cabin during your cruise.
After pickup from your hotel in Hanoi, climb aboard the bus to be driven to Tuan Chau Harbor. Stop halfway for a short break to stretch your legs. Once you reach the harbor, board your boat, where you will be welcomed with a drink. Listen to the safety briefing and check into your room.
Next, enjoy a special lunch with traditional Vietnamese dishes while cruising in the magnificent Halong Bay, admiring the fascinating rock formations. Then, visit Sung Sot Cave, a series of immense caverns, replete with a myriad of beautifully lit mythical rock formations.
Head to Ti Top/Soi Sim Island. Climb the steps to marvel at the splendid views across Halong Bay from the viewpoint at its peak or swim on the romantic sandy beach. Return to the boat for a shower and relax on the sundeck, watching the sunset with a cocktail or a book.
Then, it's party time with the sunset party and cooking class. Learn how to make a fresh noodle roll and try your creation before tucking into dinner with a sea view. Fish for squid, sing karaoke, or relax on the sundeck before turning in for the night.
Wake up early to watch the sunrise from the sundeck, then continue to admire the views of the bay with a cup of tea or coffee during your buffet breakfast. Start your day with a visit to Halong Bay Pearl farm to learn about renowned Halong pearls and the long farming process.
Then, go kayaking to explore Halong Bay on your own. On your return to the boat, check out of your room, but continue your cruise. Tuck into lunch on your way back toward Tuan Chau Harbor, where you will say goodbye to the crew and board the bus back to Hanoi.
