The HaLong Catamaran 1 day

Oneday Discover Lan Ha Bay

 KAYAKING VISIT BRIGHT – DARK CAVE

Duration: 01 day / Transport: Shuttle bus / Departure: Daily

 This full day trip is a perfect way to spend as much time on the water as you can in one day. We use the high-speed highway to maximize our time spent enjoying this wondrous beauty. Sailing amongst the 1969 limestone karsts that scatter the emerald waters of Halong and Lan Ha Bay, this is one unforgettable day.
The brand new luxury premium boat staffed with a warm and welcoming crew, delicious food, and exciting activities, will be the highlight of your trip. Our superior catamaran boat design will give us the ultimate yachting experience, for a smooth ride as our boat easily glides through the waters making it able to take you all the way to 3 Peaches beach to dip your toes in the white sand, unreachable by any other day trip from Hanoi city. We will have a private and unique route, getting away from the crowds, sailing deep into Lan Ha Bay.

Itinerary

07:45 – 8:30 HOTEL PICK UP

Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter, ranging from 7:45– 8:30. We try to make the pick-ups as timely as possible but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and many hotels to collect from, this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite this process.

10:00 – 10:15 SHORT LAVATORY BREAK

Quick stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack in case you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road and finish the drive.

11:30 – 11:45 BOARDING THE CRUISE

The bus will arrive at Tuan Chau marina and reach our pier, where our welcoming staff will be waiting for your arrival with a big smile. A complimentary welcome drink will be served, and a quick briefing as we set off into the bay.

14:00 – 15:00. KAYAKING OR SITTING ON BAMBOO BOAT TO VISIT BRIGHT – DARK CAVE

We will spend 1-hour round trip paddling through a little grotto and into our private lagoon, surrounded by rock walls in all directions. It’s a peaceful little corner of Halong Bay all to ourselves. The tour guide will tell the folklore of Halong Bay before paddling back to the boat.

15:15 – 15:45. FROG POND, SWIMMING – LAN HA BAY

16:00. COOKING DEMONSTRATION

Learn the history of a traditional Vietnamese dish that is the most famous. From the fresh ingredients to the preparation method, and then have a try at making them yourselves. You’ll be able to make Vietnamese summer rolls in your own kitchen after this informative and fun course. Excite all your friends and family at home with your new skills!

16:30. SUNSET CEREMONY – TEA, CAKES

Complimentary Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, and little cakes to keep you satisfied until you return to Hanoi. While the sunset starts to drop and the sky fills with deep red, purple, and yellow, enjoy the return sail back.

17:45 – 18:00. DISEMBARK- LIMOUSINE

We dock at the harbor, get back onto the Limousine, and go on the highway. A quick stop halfway, and back to Hanoi.

Thank you for giving The Halong Catamaran the chance to deliver you a once of a lifetime experience. The tour guide will deliver you to the front door of the hotel, of your choice, in the Old Quarter.
