Our day cruise is run on a private basis only. The main reason for this is that there is so much to do in the bay and this day trip has limited time, so this way you can do exactly what you want at an affordable price. You can opt for kayaking all day, or maybe you would rather check out the caves, or go to a small beach. The choice is yours as its your trip!

We depart Hanoi at 08.30am for the 3hour drive through the fertile flood plains of the Red River Delta to Ha Long City. Once at Ha Long City we board our private boat for a five-hour cruise of this stunning area, stopping along the way to visit one of the limestone caves in the bay. There will also be time for a swim in the bay’s emerald waters and kayaking (at an extra cost). Whilst on board you will be served a delicious local seafood lunch. You will return to Hanoi at about 7pm.
