ITINERARY IN DETAIL
Day 1: Hanoi - Halong Bay (L, D)
9:00 am – shuttle bus pick up from your hotel (in the city center). We then leave Hanoi for a 2 .5 hours drive to Ha Long city with a short break en-route. Upon your arrival at Tuan Chau harbor, you’ll embark on the Indochina Sails cruise, be welcome by the crew and have a quick briefing for comprehensive safety and cruise itinerary before check-in.
13:00 – A multi-course Vietnamese lunch is serving onboard (any and all dietary needs will be catered to) and the boat sets off to the most beautiful part of the bay while). The cruise itinerary takes you hundreds of sheer limestone islets and includes a visit to one of the most famous caves in the Bay, followed by an onboard cooking demonstration.
After dinner, some evening activities include Happy Hour! Board games like cards or Parcheesi are available; also everyone can try their luck at squid fishing on the boat with help from the crew.
Day 2: Halong Bay - Hanoi (Brunch buffet)
The next morning coffee, tea, and breakfast pastries are on offer from 6:45. Tai Chi lessons are led by our tai chi master at 7:00.
7:45 – a tender transfer you from to Titov island. Weather permitting, you’ll be able to swim, fish, and climb a hill (not a mountain!) for an overview of the Bay’s remarkable seascape.
Back on board it’s time for final packing and freshening up before enjoying a full breakfast buffet, including traditional Vietnamese Noodles (Pho). After breakfast guests may relax in the dining room and lounge or on the deck enjoying the last Bay view before disembarkation at 11:00 am.
11:00 - 11:30 – our shuttle bus picks up and brings you back to Hanoi. The trip ends at around 14:30.
Note:
- Tides and weather conditions may alter the times of meals and other activities.
- On the way to Halong and back to Hanoi, we will stop at a place with food, beverages, and souvenirs for sale. This is not to trick you and that will be the only time of the whole trip you may feel in the tourism mass. But that is the only place on the way, where you, your driver and your guide can use clean toilets without being forced to buy anything. Thanks for your understanding.
