Your Day in Detail

Accompanied by your private guide and driver, take a scenic 2.5 - 3-hour journey to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As the local legend tells, a dragon descended from the mountains and swept its tail across the land, creating thousands of limestone islands that rise majestically from emerald waters.

Board your cruise and enjoy lunch while limestone karsts drift past. In the afternoon, explore a magnificent cave with impressive rock formations, then visit a scenic island for swimming, relaxing on the beach, or climbing to the summit for panoramic views.

Back aboard, join the sunset party on deck. Before dinner, kids will love the interactive cooking class where the chef teaches how to make traditional Vietnamese dishes. After dinner, you can try squid fishing under the stars - an adventure families love, or enjoy movie time and mini-games.

Tips: Pack a separate day bag with cruise essentials (swimwear, sunscreen, change of clothes) to avoid repacking from your main luggage.
