2D1N Lan Ha Bay cruise with a longer itinerary that starts earlier & ends later
This is one of the few 2D1N Lan Ha Bay cruises that actually gives you proper time on the bay. While most cruises only start around noon and end the next morning, this one kicks off at 7:30AM on Day 1 and only wraps up at 3PM on Day 2 - giving you way more time to explore hidden corners of the bay without rushing.Because of that, you get to go further than most. You’ll cruise out to the border between Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, where you’ll enjoy 1.5 hours of kayaking through caves to reach hidden lagoons, secluded spots like Ho Ba Ham lagoon, Dau Be Island and relax on deserted beaches. There’s also time to cycle through rice paddies in Viet Hai village, and even go night kayaking to spot bioluminescent plankton.It’s also a much smaller group - max 20 guests - so it feels way more personal compared to the bigger boats that pack in 40-50 people. Also, if you’re continuing your journey after Cat Ba, this boat trip conveniently finishes early enough for easy transfers to spots like Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa or Ha Giang.What to ExpectCruise through stunning limestone landscapes of Lan Ha Bay, a quieter alternative to Halong Bay.Kayak into secret caves and hidden lagoons, including the Bright, Dark, and Bat Caves.Swim in the crystal-clear waters of secluded spots like Cam Lagoon.Enjoy fresh Vietnamese seafood and vegetarian dishes onboard.Experience bioluminescent plankton during evening kayaking or squid fishing.Cycle through rice paddies in Viet Hai village and learn about local life.Overnight on a comfortable boat with air-conditioned cabins and private bathrooms.Good to KnowThe tour begins early at 7:30 am from Cat Ba and ends around 3 pm on day two.It's limited to a maximum of 20 guests, offering a personalised experience.Bring cycling shoes, sunscreen, swimming gear, and cash for drinks or souvenirs.The schedule can change depending on weather and tide conditions.All activities are guided to ensure safety and enjoyment.Full insurance and licences are in place for a secure trip experience.Drone use inside the park requires a permit purchased three days prior - please prepare cash.Amenities/facilitiesAir-conditioned private cabins with en-suite bathroomsSpacious deck for sunbathing and panoramic viewsKayaks and life jackets available for water adventuresDelicious onboard meals prepared with fresh local ingredientsFriendly, professional guides fluent in EnglishPickup and drop-off from your hotel in Cat BaOpportunity for squid fishing and viewing bioluminescent plankton at night
