Halong bay cruise tour

michael | December 31, 2009 | no comments

Ha Long Bay, located in the Gulf of Tonkin, covers an area of 1,500 square km. With more than a thousand limestone peaks rising up from its crystalline emerald waters this area is one of the natural wonders of Vietnam and now one of five World Heritage-listed sites in Vietnam. The tiny islands are dotted with innumerable beaches and grottoes created by the wind and the waves that provide an excellent backdrop for swimming or just lazing about on the boat deck.

Itinerary:

Day 1: Hanoi – Halong Bay

You will be picked up from your hotel at 8:30 by our tour guide, driver and drive to Halong Bay through the fertile flood plains of the Red River Delta. Stop in route for a short rest or taking pictures of the everyday life sceneries (optional). Arrive in Halong Bay at midday, embark on your comfortable junk at 12:00 and begin your cruise around majestic Halong Bay. Seafood lunch will be served on board. Explore limestone caves dotted around the bay, soak up the sun on the top deck or go kayaking (optional). Watch the sun set over the bay whilst enjoying a delicious dinner. Overnight on board junk.

Day 2: Halong Bay – Hanoi

Brunch on board (Breakfast + Lunch). Then we continue our cruise in Halong bay while the boat is going back to shore. Arrive at Ha long wharf about 11h00 and take our car for our journey back to Hanoi. On arrival at about 16:00 you will be dropped off at your hotel or preselected drop off point (in Hanoi center). End trip.
