Your adventure begins with a pick-up in Hanoi's Old Quarter, followed by a transfer to Tuan Chau Marina. You'll board your cruise with a welcome drink and lunch as you sail through Ha Long Bay into the serene Lan Ha Bay, passing distinctive limestone islets. Activities include kayaking, swimming at Ao Ech or Ba Trai Dao, or visiting Dark & Bright Cave. As the sun sets, unwind on the sundeck, join a cooking class and enjoy the sunset party before dinner onboard. Optional squid fishing is available in the evening. You'll spend the night in a private cabin with an ocean-view balcony.

The second day starts with sunrise viewing and Tai Chi. After breakfast with bay views, choose between kayaking at Ao Ech or visiting a cave on Cat Ba Island.

Next, you'll embark on a 2-3 hour boat ride at either Trang An, a UNESCO site with caves, or Tam Coc, known as "Ha Long Bay on land". The final stop is Mua Cave, where you can climb approximately 500 steps for panoramic views of Ninh Binh. The tour concludes in Ninh Binh, with an optional drop-off in Hanoi.
