Day 1: Hanoi - Au Co
Cruise - Halong Bay - Lan Ha
Bay (L/D)
+ 8.00AM: Pick up at your hotel in Hanoi
and depart for Halong Bay - the World Heritage Site
on a comfortable 3 and a half
hour drive to Halong Bay
(transfer service is optional
with extra cost).
On arrival in Halong,
board our Au Cruise cruise to
explore Halong Bay.
The first day of your
cruise is an introduction to the
amazing scenery of Halong
Bay and its southern sister;
Lan Ha Bay. Cruising
through Halong Bay will
literally take your breath away,
as we pass famous spots like
Thien Cung and Me Cung
caves, plus Soi Sim and
Titov islands. Also
located in the Gulf of Tonkin,
to the south of Halong
Bay, Lan Ha Bay, Ba
Trai Dao and the Ho Ba
Ham islets offer
tranquility and nature at its
best, and a guided kayaking tour
or a refreshing swim in the
Bay’s emerald waters are two of
the best ways to enjoy them.
Day 2: Au Co
Cruise - Cat Ba
Island - Bai Tu Long
Bay (B/L/D)
Cat Ba
Island is famous
for its national
park, with more
than half the
island
designated. This
island, far and
away the largest
in the Gulf of
Tonkin, is
covered by a
dense rainforest
home to numerous
indigenous
species of flora
and fauna. The
secluded village
of Viet Hai,
situated in the
middle of this
pristine
environment, is
easily
accessible
thanks to a
short walk or
cycling trip
and is where we
are developing
an organic farm
which you can
visit.
Bai Tu Long
Bay,
located a little
further east of
Halong
Bay, is the most
remote area of
your voyage. The
exceptional
scale and
variety of the
geological rock
formations in
this area are
sure to make
this a future
destination for
cruising in the
Gulf of Tonkin.
A relaxing
rowing boat tour
through the
floating village
of Vung
Vieng and
cruising into
the geological
park of this bay
will definitely
be delightful
moments for you
to remember.
Day 3: Au Co
Cruise - Halong Bay
- Hanoi (B)
Halong Bay,
designated a UNESCO
world heritage site
for its limestone
rock formations, is
home to about 2,000
isles and islets of
different shapes and
sizes, creating a
truly breathtaking
seascape. At its
heart is the highest
concentration of
limestone rocks in
the area and caves
and grottoes abound.
One of the most
beautiful is the
Sung Sot (Surprise)
Cave. Exceptional
because of its size
and the shapes which
have been created by
millions of years of
erosion, the
Surprise Cave is not
to be missed.
The cruise end at
10:30am, transfer
back to Hanoi.
