More time, fewer crowds: explore Lan Ha & Ha Long Bay properly with this cruise
This 2D1N cruise is one of the rare few that gives you a full two-day adventure across both Lan Ha & Ha Long Bay, not just a half-day taster like most others. While many cruises start after lunch and end by mid-morning the next day, this one kicks off bright and early at 8AM and wraps up at 3PM on Day 2 — giving you way more time on the water and less time clock-watching. Perfect for travellers who want to properly explore the hidden side of the bays without being rushed.Unlike standard cruises that stick to touristy stops, this one takes you through quieter corners of the bays — think kayaking through secret rock tunnels, swimming in deserted lagoons, and spotting plankton glowing beneath your kayak after dark. You'll cruise on a small boat during the day for better access to remote areas, then check in to a cosy, traditional-style junk boat (with only 5 cabins!) for a peaceful night on the water. If you're the kind of traveller who loves nature, hates crowds, and prefers meaningful experiences over flashy ones, you'll love this.This isn't just a boat ride — it's a brilliant mix of swimming, kayaking, cycling, and exploring remote fishing villages. With group sizes kept small and passionate local guides who actually care about your experience, it's way more personal than the typical Ha Long Bay cruise. Also, if you’re continuing your journey after Cat Ba, this tour conveniently finishes early enough for easy transfers to spots like Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa or Ha Giang.What to ExpectExplore both Lan Ha & Ha Long Bay — with lots more time on the water than standard 2D1N cruisesKayak through hidden caves, archways and lagoons (both day and night to see magical glowing plankton)Swim in quiet lagoons and beaches far from the busy tourist crowdsVisit a huge local fish farm and learn about sustainable aquacultureCycle through jungle paths and visit Viet Hai Fishing Village — a peaceful, remote communityWatch the sunset and sleep aboard a 5-cabin traditional junk boat with only max 10 guestsJoin a Vietnamese cooking demonstration on board and try your hand at squid fishing under the starsGood to KnowTour starts at 8:00AM on Day 1 and ends around 3:00PM on Day 2Day 1 (8:30 AM – 4:30 PM): Travel on a day boat (max 25 guests, no cabins) for better access to hidden spotsFrom 4:30 PM on Day 1 to the end of Day 2: Stay on a 5-cabin overnight boat (max 10 guests) for a more comfortable and intimate experienceVegetarian meals available with advance noticeGuests need to make their own way to the meeting point (no pick-ups/drop-offs included)If high tides block access to the Three Hidden Lagoons, you'll explore a different hidden lagoon instead (where parts of King Kong were filmed!)Good moderate fitness is recommended for cycling and kayaking sectionsAmenities/facilitiesRooms are basic and no-frills, but they’re comfy and come with all the essentials like a private bathroom and air-conAll equipment provided: kayaks, snorkel gear, dry bags, towelsAll meals included: 2 lunches, 1 dinner, 1 breakfast
