Itinerary

Day1: Hanoi-Halong Bay Wilderness (L/D)
We start at 9.00 A.M for the 3 hour trip ( 170 km) from Hanoi to Ha Long City. The drive travels through the Red River delta, so you'll have plenty of chance for taking photos of Vietnamese farmers tilling the vast green paddy fields. At half way, we'll have a visit to a handicraft workshop with fine clothes, embroidered paintings, stone statuettes and all kinds of gems mined in Vietnam such as star rubies or sapphires...

Upon arrival , you'll be welcomed on board our luxury junk and treated with wine and fresh local seafood. As our junk cruises further into the tranquility of Halong Bay, you'll have relaxing time combining the fine tastes of the wine and the freshness of Halong Bay. During the cruise, we'll stop some time for visiting the amazing Sung Sot cave and the Ti Tov white sand beach before anchoring somewhere for the night. Overnight on board the junk in the wild of Ha Long Bay.

Notes: Please know that on this tour, the clients are to have private car or van, but are to share the junk with other tour groups and travelers. Private junk may be available upon request with additional cost.

Day2: Halong Bay-Hanoi (B,L)
After breakfast, we'll take a little sampan to visit a secret lagoon of Halong Bay while the surrounding mountains are just waking up. After that our cruise takes us further into the Bay of Bai Tu Long traveling past the Human Head island, the Turtle island, the Duck islet... to the studio site where the famous Indochine film was shot. After the feast, our junk travels back to the harbor for the disembarkation at 12.00 A.M. Then enjoy our car journey back to Hanoi.
