Hanoi, Bai Tu Long, Hon Co Island

We head early to Ha Long to discover the beautiful bay of the same name, jewels of the South China Sea. Arrival in Ha Long around 12pm then we embark on a magnificent junk for a cruise following an original itinerary.

We sail in Bai Tu Long Bay, an extension of Ha Long Bay but less frequented and more wild. This is a perfect stopover for your trip to Vietnam. Lunch is served while the junk sails through the hundreds of karst formations of the bay.

Swimming in the bay, then the boat heads for the well hidden Thien Canh Son cave. Continuation of the cruise to the wild and private island of Hon Co for a moment of relaxation on the white sand beach, to swim, and kayak.

Cruise back to the Tra San area to relax and enjoy the fresh air on the terrace. Dinner and overnight on the boat.

Before the boat heads for the port of Ha Long we have a little more time for a final swim. An à la carte lunch is offered during the return cruise.

Disembarkation around 11am, and return to Hanoi. On the way stop at the village of Yen Duc to enjoy the traditional puppet show on the water performed by local artists. Arrival in Hanoi around 17:00.
