Your guide collects you from your hotel or homestay in the morning for the drive to Halong Bay—expect a break to stretch your legs midway. On arrival, receive a welcome drink, listen to the short safety briefing, and tuck into a traditional Vietnamese seafood lunch.
Over the course of your junk boat cruise, visit a fishing village and Dong Thien Cung cave, and have the option to enjoy a short trip by kayak or bamboo boat. After savoring the surreal karst landscapes of the UNESCO-listed bay, it’s time to head back to Hanoi, where your climate-controlled vehicle drops you back at your hotel.
