Tour Plan

DAY 1: Hanoi - Cat Ba Island - National park

08:00: Your driver and tour guide will greet you at your place of lodging in Hanoi, then transport you to Hai Phong. After reaching Got ferry terminal, you will embark on a fast watercraft to reach Cat Ba island. Having lunch and check in hotel. 14:00: The plan involves visiting Cat Ba national park, embarking on a brief trek through Kim Giao forest, and reaching the summit of "Ngu Lam Peak," which provides a panoramic view of the entire island. Afterward, there will be an overnight stay at the hotel.

DAY 2: Lan Ha - Halong bay - Hanoi

07:30: Transfer from your hotel to Beo dock. 08:00: Upon checking in at the cruise, guests can indulge in a complimentary welcome beverage. The journey commences by traversing through Cái Bèo fishing village, which is known as Vietnam's largest and most traditional fishing town. En route, you will pass by Monkey Island, but we will not halt there. Eventually, the boat will reach the center of Lan Ha Bay, where you can witness hundreds of one-of-a-kind karst towers and emerald green waters. 09:30: Make a stop at Di San Floating House to visit a family of fishermen and their fish farm, where you can learn about the local culture and capture some pictures of the enormous fish. This fish is called "Happy Fish" and is approximately 13 years old and weighs about 100 kg. Afterwards, continue cruising on the boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery until reaching Dau Be Island where you will dock. You can venture out on your own to explore the Ba Ham Lake in Ha Long Bay using a two-person kayak. This will allow you to uncover the natural beauty of the bay, including a hidden lagoon with several stalactites of varying shapes and sizes hanging from the cave's ceiling. However, this activity is subject to the tide level of the bay. If the tide is too high, an alternative plan will be arranged where you can cruise past Cua Van Floating Village, Rang Dua Island, Frog Island, etc. You can then proceed to paddle through Dark Cave and Bright Cave. While the boat continues to cruise, a lunch of seafood and traditional Vietnamese cuisine will be provided. Our skipper will decide on the best spot to drop anchor after we have lunch. You can unwind and engage in enjoyable activities like diving off the boat, swimming, or strolling on Ba Trái Đào Beach. Afterward, you'll take a speed boat to Hai Phong and be driven back to Hanoi by our driver. Drop you off at your hotel. Tour ends. Goodbye and see you again!
