02 Days - Catba Island - Lan Ha Bay - Ha Long Bay

Halong Bay is an impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site on Vietnam’s north east coast. Translated as Bay of Descending Dragons, the towering limestone karsts represent the dragon’s back, surrounded by jade green water creating an unforgettable site. Spend two nights on a traditional junk, swimming, kayaking, exploring caves and dining on fresh seafood under the stars.

Highlights:
- The highlight of the trip is taking people to less touristy areas and cruise more to see the best parts of Ha Long bay and Lan Ha bay.
- The place where we anchor is also very peaceful; not at the common place where hundreds of boats gather there.
- The trips can be flexibly changed due to customer’s demands, physical conditions and the tide levels (weather as well). Please do not hesitate to email us to customize your holiday.

If our boat is not busy to pick new group, we can offer you longer time on boat. We only can confirm this when you are on the tour. If yes, we can take you to a beach for swimming and relaxing.

The prices: depending on your group size because we only organize private tours, no open tours. For example, if you are two people, the whole boat will be just for two of you, no other tourists. More people are with you, the price will be cheaper. Please tell us your group size then we will send you the cost.

Inclusive services: Private boat, local english speaking guide on request, kayaks, mentioned meals, entrance fees.
You can book car and shuttle bus tickets with us or you get to Cat Ba Island by yourselves.

Exclusive services: Travel insurance, drinks and tips

- If you have any food restrictions or allergies, please let us know when you book the tours.
- Pick-up/drop-off for tours from Hanoi: at your hotel in the Old Quarter or max 2km away from the Old Quarter. Extra charge will be applied for further areas.
 
Recommendations: It is good to combine Ha Long tour with Ninh Binh, Bac Son, Sapa, Puluong and Mai Chau tours. If you going further south, you can take flight to Da Nang or Ho Chi Minh from Hai Phong instead of Hanoi to save your money and time.
