Peaceful 2 day Lan Ha Bay cruise with clam digging
This cosy 2D1N wooden junk cruise gives you the social vibe of a group trip - without the big crowds. While some boats can take up to 40–50 guests, this one keeps it to just 26, so you can still socialise and make friends without feeling overwhelmed. Sailing through the quieter Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay, this 2D1N trip is perfect if you’re looking for a more personal, hands-on way to experience the bay. You can try clam digging during low tides, paddle out to hidden lagoons, and cycle through a remote fishing village. It’s all about immersing yourself in local life, while still having plenty of time to relax.Plus, this is one of the few cruises in Lan Ha Bay with a guide who speaks both English and French, making it more accessible for non-English speakers. Ideal for couples, families or anyone keen to skip the crowded Halong Bay cruises while still packing in all the best bits - authentic experiences, gorgeous scenery, and a comfy stay on a charming wooden junk.What to ExpectSmall group trip – max 26 guests for a relaxed, friendly atmosphereOptional clam digging at low tide and enjoy your fresh catch onboardEnglish and French-speaking guide (rare in the area!)Kayak, swim or relax in the pristine waters of Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long BayExplore traditional Viet Hai village by bicycle or electric carVietnamese cooking demonstration where you’ll learn to make spring rollsTai chi on the sundeck to start your morning rightGood to KnowTour departs from and returns to Cai Beo Port on Cat Ba IslandPickup/drop-off from Cat Ba Town hotels includedRound-trip transfers from Hanoi can be arranged separatelyPlease note that clam digging is optional activities and may not always be available, as they depend on tide and weather conditions.

Meet your host

Anh started her cruise line back in 2018 with a simple idea—smaller boats, better experiences. Instead of going big, she chose to build a handful of cosy wooden boats, each one thoughtfully designed to suit small groups, couples, or families. She picked Lan Ha Bay as her sailing route—a quieter, less touristy spot near Halong Bay—so her guests could enjoy the same stunning views without the crowds. From peaceful kayaking trips to relaxed evenings fishing off the side of the boat, Anh’s way of hosting is all about slowing down and making people feel at home on the water.
