12.30 Embark at Tuan Chau International harbor

Set off from Hanoi along the southeast of Red River Delta to The 8th wonder of the world Halong bay which literally means “Descending dragon” by crossing through lush rice paddies, then Mao Khe and Uong Bi coal zones.

Arrival at Tuan Chau port around noon to board the cruise ship. A subtle blend of traditional and contemporary decor, our boat was conceived and designed to meet the standards of beauty required of such an alluring location. The crew greets you on board with a welcome drink while the captain sets sail.

13.00 Enjoy lunch as the boat pass by famous islets of the bay

After settling into your cabin, the activities of the day will be well introduced to you. Then, 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.

15.00 Cruise moving forward Ho Dong Tien Cave. Kayaking

Ho Dong Tien is a cave protected and conserved by the local management board and still be unprecedented. There is no electric light inside the cave, some areas have no light so we have to use flashlight instead. Especially, since this site is new wild, very few amount of tourists have known about it. We spend about 45 minutes at this authentic nature’s gift.

Then, about one hour remaining, we head towards Trong Cave which is an area for kayaking with much wider zone for paddling and the landscape is not hidden from view as in the Luon Cave’s area. Gliding along the bay in absolute quietude, one can more fully appreciate the myriad of limestone formations.

17.00 Relax time on the sundeck

We kayak back to our 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.
