See lesser-known spots in Halong Bay on a 3-Star Great-value Cruise
This is a rare 2D1N Halong trip that takes you to Cat Ba island and Viet Hai village. This 3-star cruise is a great-value experience that takes you on a more unique, slightly more off-the-beaten-path route of Lan Ha Bay. Guests love this cruise for its intimate feel— with only 14 people onboard, it’s much smaller than the larger boats (some hold up to 100!). That means a more personal, authentic Halong Bay experience.This adventure combines stunning turquoise waters and dramatic limestone karsts with the charm of a rustic cruise ship and an immersive cultural experience in Cat Ba island and Viet Hai fishing village. Get ready for kayaking adventures, cooking demonstrations, and cycling explorations, all while enjoying the tranquility of this less-traveled gem.What to ExpectCruise through the breathtaking scenery of Lan Ha Bay, a quieter alternative to Halong Bay.Explore Cat Ba Island by bicycle, venturing into the heart of Viet Hai village.Enjoy kayaking excursions through the bay's crystal-clear waters.Participate in a hands-on cooking demonstration and learn the art of Vietnamese cuisine.Savor delicious meals onboard the rustic cruise ship.Relax on the sundeck and soak up the stunning views.Learn from Loi, a seasoned guide with nearly 15 years of experience in the tourism industry.Enjoy a small-group experience for a more personalized and relaxed atmosphere.Includes return transport from HanoiGood to knowRemember to bring appropriate footwear for cycling.Consider bringing small bills for tipping crew members (though not mandatory, it is appreciated).Boat Facilities & Amenities9 sea-view cabins.Restaurant serving Vietnamese cuisine.Sundeck for relaxation and enjoying the views.Kayaks available for guest use.

Loi started his cruise company in 2018 with a strong belief that small boats = better experiences. So instead of huge boats, Loi and his team focused on comfortable, small‑group cruises through Lan Ha Bay, so guests can soak in the scenery without feeling rushed. With nearly 15 years in the tourism industry, Loi has mastered what makes a trip special - thoughtful itineraries, warm hospitality, great attention to detail, a knowledgable crew and fresh Vietnamese meals on board.
