Cruise Through Stunning Ha Long Bay: A Day 1 Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

DAY 1: HA NOI- HA LONG BAY CRUISE (B, L, D)

The wonderful and experienced team from Bhaya Classic Cruises will take excellent care of you today. Starting with a morning pick up, you’ll embark on a comfortable, scenic drive through the Red River Delta to Ha long Bay which takes about 3.5 hours. Of course, we’ll make a refreshment stop along the way in a traditional little town called Sao Do.

We’ll arrive at the passenger port at about midday and, once aboard, you will be given a safety and itinerary briefing. Then, with a welcome drink in hand, wave goodbye to the shore for the next 24 hours as we set sail for Ha Long Bay; a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature!

Lunch will be served on deck as we cruise towards the southwest of the bay, allowing you to gaze up in awe at the mysterious and ancient limestone islands jutting out from the emerald green water surrounding you.

Our afternoon will include a visit to the fascinating Tien Ong Cave where we’ll descend into a mysterious underground world full of stalactites, caverns, grottos, and vast limestone formations – all delicately lit with safe walkways to make sure you get the best views while protecting this unique environment. As we make our way back up towards the daylight, what better activity than a dip in the emerald green waters of Ha Long Bay!

When you’re finished swimming, freshen up for the evening and join us for Sunset Happy Hour at the bar where you can enjoy drinks, mix and mingle with other guests, and even win some fun prizes in the ‘Master chef Competition’!

As our boat anchors for the night, a delicious set menu dinner will be served, carefully chosen, and prepared to cater for all tastes. Relax and enjoy your meal as you unwind after a busy day of exploring and adventuring.

In the evening, feel free to either retire to your cabin and catch some z’s…or join us on deck to catch some squid! A fun night fishing activity.

Overnight stay on the cruise.

Note: The cruise program is subject to change depends on the weather condition, water level, local authority’s decision

DAY 2:  HA LONG – HA NOI (B) 

In the morning, just after sunrise, enjoy a tai chi class which is available for those who can separate themselves from their bed, then enjoy tea, coffee and some light snacks before visiting on Ha Long Bay’s magnificent caves. Sections of the limestone formations in Ha Long Bay are easily erodible, which makes for strikingly deep and cavernous caves. Brunch is served after the activity, while the cruise gently makes its way back to the pier. Upon disembarkation, we transfer to back to your hotel.
Check in and leisure. Overnight in Ha Noi.
