Description

Imagine waking up surrounded by the tranquil beauty of Halong Bay - one of Vietnam's most spectacular natural wonders. Dotted with limestone islands in a sea of azure blue water you will explore the World Heritage listed Halong Bay aboard a junk boat. While you cruise the bay, enjoy a seafood lunch, dinner, swimming, kayaking (optional) or visit one of the many limestone caves.

Halong Bay covers an area of 1,500 square km. With more than a thousand limestone peaks rising up from its crystalline emerald waters this area is rightly viewed as one of the natural wonders of Vietnam and is one of five World Heritage-listed sites. This two-day itinerary gives you the chance to enjoy Halong Bay from the comfort of your junk.

Here you can relax on the tanning deck, swim in the clear waters and enjoy the best cuisine available in the bay. All the while you will be looked after by our dedicated and attentive crew. There is also the option of exploring some of the bay's most secluded lagoons using our fleet of modern easy-to-maneuver kayaks for some unforgettable scenery only accessible by kayak.

Whilst on board you will indulge in two seafood lunches, one dinner and one breakfast. Tan overnight tour of Halong Bay also provides the perfect opportunity to sit back and watch the sunset or to try a spot of night fishing.

Akin to a floating hotel, here are some of the junk's facilities:

  • 5 ensuite twin cabins with air-conditioning and ensuite tiled bathroom
  • Hot and cold running water and shower in each bathroom
  • Dining room serving Vietnamese fare
  • Licensed bar with extensive wine list
  • Sun tanning area with eight adjustable sun lounges
  • 5 lightweight western made (New Zealand) sea kayaks
  • Night fishing from the boat
  • Fully staffed crew of 7 including Customer Services Manager

    A bit Expensive

    littlechristina recommends this,

    Hi, I've been in Halong Bay crusie for 1 nights. Of course, we have 2-day trip with some interesting activities like Kayaking, boating, visiting floating village, caves and islets, etc. english speaking tour guide and the crew on the boat quite good. well equipped clean room. Let me see... The name of that boat like Aquarena cruise. the price we have to pay in advance around $139. So you should know and consider the price for a nice cheap trip. Have fun.

    Must do if you are in Hanoi

    I don't remember exactly how much I paid as it was a few years now but it was not more than $90 usd. I booked the 2 night, 3 day trip from the hostel I was staying at. One night was on the junk, the other night was on a private beach near Monkey Island sleeping in a bungalow. I recommend you do your research and compare prices before booking. Overall a nice trip.

    Nice trip! but never pay € 130,- for it!

    mcfly1971 recommends this,

    If You are in Vietnam and in the neighbourhood of Ha Long, you shouldn't wanna miss this. It's maybe touristic but so beautifull. sailing between the karst rocks, laying on the deck by nightfall... GREAT! But we paid $ 50,- for a two day trip in Hanoi for it. Found and booked local within half an hour. So 130 euro is way to much.!!

    Way too expensive.

    sydonian recommends this,

    You can book this anywhere in Hanoi for 50-60 dollars a person. Understand what is included and what not, they will rip you off when you're not paying attention!

    It is still a nice cruise with some really good views!
