Ha Long & Lan Ha Bay Excursion
Your adventure begins at 7:45 am with a pick-up from your hotel in the heart of Cat Ba or at 190-1/4 Street, as per your choice. From there, we will board a minibus for a journey southward on the island.
Upon reaching the port, we will embark on a boat at 8 am, setting sail for an exploration of Lan Ha Bay. Our cruise will take us alongside the Beo floating fishing village, as well as around Monkey Island and Buddha Island, two highlighted attractions in this picturesque area.
As we navigate the waters of Lan Ha Bay, we'll transition into Ha Long Bay. Here, you’ll get to appreciate the skyline of Ha Long city from the boat, before heading to Cam Lagoon, where we will moor for a delectable Vietnamese lunch on board. After a well-deserved meal, there will be a brief time to relax before embarking on a kayaking adventure through Monkey Cave, Dark Cave, Bright Cave, and Bat Cave.
Next, thrill in the experience of snorkeling in the natural area of Ba Trai Dao. Following this aquatic adventure, we’ll gather back on the boat to enjoy the serene sunset from the upper deck.
We plan to return to our departure point between 5 pm and 5:30 pm.

Enhance your journey through Ha Long and Lan Ha bays by opting for our tour that includes a nocturnal kayak adventure to witness luminescent plankton. After enjoying the sunset, we will visit a restaurant to savor a delicious traditional dinner featuring fresh fish and seafood.
Once our meal is complete, we’ll board a kayak and paddle through the lagoon while discovering the fascinating phenomenon of bioluminescence in plankton. This hour-long excursion provides the perfect chance to admire the stunning nocturnal scenery that envelops the area.
