3D2N Lan Ha Bay Cruise with a kayaking, cycling and a rare cave visit
If you’ve got the time, this 3D2N cruise is 100% worth it. Where 2D1N cruises often feel a bit rushed, having one extra day gives you the chance to go beyond the usual route and explore hidden spots that most tours miss.Day 2 is when it really shines: you'll visit an archaeological cave rarely seen by tourists, cycle through peaceful Viet Hai village, and enjoy a home-cooked lunch in a traditional house. It’s a rare glimpse into the quieter, cultural side of Cat Ba, and the kind of day you just can’t squeeze into a shorter cruise.And you’ll be doing all this with a small group, a bilingual guide (English & French), and plenty of flexibility to relax or jump into activities like kayaking, clam digging, and night squid fishing.This is perfect for conscious travellers, couples, active families, or friends who want more than just the highlights. If you’re looking for a more immersive experience with a lot of heart, you’ll love this cruise.What to ExpectExplore Lan Ha Bay & (weather-permitting) parts of Bai Tu Long Bay over 3 daysCycle through peaceful Viet Hai village and see what daily island life is likeWalk through Cat Ba National Park and visit archaeological Tien Đuc CaveEnjoy a traditional homemade lunch inside an ancient house in Viet HaiKayak through hidden lagoons, swim off untouched beaches, go clam diggingCooking demonstration, Tai Chi, karaoke and more on boardCosy, boutique wooden boat – small group size (max 26 guests)Good to KnowThis 3D2N option offers a deeper, slower experience than shorter 2D1N cruisesLunch in a local home in Viet Hai is included - something most cruises don’t offerPlease note that clam digging and night kayaking are 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.
