The tour lasts about eight hours and covers Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay areas, starting from either Hanoi or Cat Ba. For departures from Hanoi, the day begins with a bus transfer from Hanoi Old Quarter at 5:30 AM to Got Pier, including a short break on the highway. From Got Pier, guests take a speedboat to Cai Vieng Harbour, then transfer by bus to Cat Ba Town, arriving at Ben Beo Pier around 8:30 AM. For those already on Cat Ba, a hotel or office pickup is provided to Ben Beo Pier. At approximately 9:00 AM, guests board the boat and begin cruising through Lan Ha Bay. The boat passes Cai Beo Fishing Village, one of northern Vietnam's largest traditional floating villages. The cruise continues into the central bay area, surrounded by emerald waters and hundreds of limestone islands. Around 10:30 AM, the tour includes one hour of kayaking in a lagoon within Lan Ha Bay's conservation area; the exact location depends on tides. After kayaking, guests return to the boat to relax before lunch at about 12:30 PM. Lunch features fresh seafood from Cat Ba and traditional Vietnamese dishes, with vegetarian and vegan options available upon request. At 1:30 PM, the boat sails to Ba Trai Dao Beach, known for its white sand and mountain views, where guests can swim in one of the bay’s cleanest areas. At 2:30 PM, the tour visits a local fish farm to observe how fishermen live and work on the water. At 3:15 PM, a cooking class takes place on board while the boat returns toward the harbor, allowing guests to watch the sunset over Lan Ha Bay. The boat arrives back at Cat Ba Town around 4:15 PM, where guests board a bus for hotel drop-off or to catch the last bus back to Hanoi. The tour includes transportation between Hanoi, Cat Ba, and the boat, entrance fees, kayaking, swimming, lunch, and hotel transfers on Cat Ba.
