Overview

The Renea Cruises 2-Day Small Boat Cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong Bay begins with a pickup in Hanoi by a modern bus or limousine. The transfer to Halong Cruise Port takes about three hours along a highway passing landmarks such as Vinh Tuy Bridge and Haiphong Port, including a short break. Upon arrival, guests board the Renea cruise boat, receive safety instructions, and enjoy a welcome drink. They then check into deluxe seaview cabins as the boat sails into Bai Tu Long Bay. Lunch is served on board featuring a Vietnamese set menu. In the afternoon, the boat stops near Cap La Island for kayaking among limestone karsts, swimming, and relaxing by the water. At 5:30 pm, the boat returns for a sunset party while cruising to the overnight anchorage. Dinner is served at 7:00 pm, followed by evening activities such as squid fishing, board games, Vietnamese puzzle games, or free time on the bay. The next morning begins with a Tai Chi session on the sundeck, followed by a Western-style breakfast. The boat then visits Thien Canh Son Cave, noted for its extensive stalactites and stalagmites, and the white sandy beach of Hon Co Island. After returning to the boat, guests have time to freshen up before participating in a Vietnamese cooking demonstration or a fruit and vegetable carving challenge. A traditional Vietnamese lunch is served before the boat returns to Halong Cruise Port for disembarkation. The tour concludes with a three-hour transfer back to Hanoi by bus or limousine.
