7:30 am to 8:30 am: Pick up at your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter
Along the way to Halong Bay we will stop for a short break in an arts and crafts centre. Here you are able to watch the produce being made and grab a snack to eat
12:00 pm reach Tuan Chau International Port and prepare for boarding
After settling into your cabin, lunch, a succulent serving of seafood, served in our panoramic-view restaurant, is an indulgence to be savored. Not only sense of taste, but also that of sight is aroused by gazing upon the majestic karst landscapes through which we sail. The upper deck allows for a spectacular 360- degree view.
We head towards Luon cave, where we once again throw anchor, go fishing with the locals and share with them the unforgettable memories of their tiny boats, floating houses and even the touring kayak at the base of the vast verdant cliffs. Gliding along the bay in absolute quietude, one can more fully appreciate the myriad of limestone formations.
Return to the boat and continue your exploration to make it to Titov island, where we have the option to swim or climb to the island’s peak for a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay.
After the relaxing time on Titov island, we kayak back to our exclusive boat to pursue our voyage and drop anchor to the spot 587 Nha Lat. Under clear skies, the upper deck offers a vista onto the magical performance of the sun descending below the horizon of the violet sea, creating a whole palette of incandescent colors. After a taste of a refreshing welcome drink and homemade seasonal fruit, you could lie down and from the upper deck contemplate the beauty of Halong bay in sunset or take part in some fruit and vegetable sculpture activities or making painting made out of shell and rope.
Dinner will be a gastronomical experience of meticulously prepared seafood dishes. Overnight on board
After breakfast, the anchor is dropped nearly a small island to visit Me Cung cave, which is known to be an ancient refugee of pirates that once scavenged the bay. This magnificent sanctuary, a geological formation of mysterious stalagmites, has, throughout history, given rise to countless myths and legends.
Return to the boat then head to the port by passing by “Fighting Cock” islet, “Stone dog” islet, “Elephant foot” islet, etc.
After lunch, it is time to bid farewell to the crew and to prepare for disembarkation.
