Private wooden junk charter for slow, crowd-free Lan Ha Bay exploring
If you're after a slow, meaningful way to experience Lan Ha Bay with your favourite people, this 3D2N private wooden boat charter is just the thing. With the entire boat to yourselves, no strangers on board, and nothing but time, you’ll get space to reconnect, unwind, and truly take in the bay’s natural beauty—without needing to rush from place to place. Unlike the typical Halong Bay day trips packed with crowds and tight schedules, this experience is all about having the freedom to explore at your own pace. You’ll paddle through quiet lagoons, visit ancient caves, swim in crystal waters, and wander through a local village before the day boats even arrive. And because it's a private charter, every moment is tailored just for you and your group—perfect for couples, families, or close friends looking for something more intimate and immersive. All of this unfolds on a beautifully built wooden junk, blending traditional charm with modern comfort. With comfy cabins, delicious home-cooked meals, and a warm, friendly crew, this is a proper retreat on the water—ideal if you value slower, deeper travel experiences and want to create shared memories in a truly stunning setting.

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.
