Itinerary
Lan Ha-Ha Long Bay Cruise and Kayak
The tour starts at 8:15 to avoid busy hours. At 8:30, the boat leaves Cat Ba Island, cruising through Lan Ha Bay past Cai Beo Fishing Village and many karst towers shaped like chopsticks and seals. Kayaking begins at 10:30 through hidden lagoons and tunnels such as K.A cave and Bats cave. At 12:30, the boat anchors at Ong Cam islet for a traditional Vietnamese lunch with free time to swim, relax, or socialize. The boat then sails at 13:30 through the southern part of Ha Long Bay, passing Vung Vieng fishing village, Dau Be Island, and two arches named Le Virgin and The Kite; this area is rarely visited and usually has only one or two other tourist boats nearby. At 14:30, guests kayak, swim, and visit Ba Trai Dao Beach, a quiet and natural spot with a temple beach and additional lagoons and arches. The boat returns to the harbor at 16:00 while guests watch the sunset. The van arrives at the office by 17:00.
