Exploring Halong Bay Full-day on 5-Star Luxury Cruise

07.45 - 8.30: The tour guide will pick you up at hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter (or Hanoi Opera House), please be at the hotel lobby before the appointed time. We try to pick you up as promptly as possible, but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and having to pick up guests from many hotels, this time is an estimate. Please be at the hotel lobby before the appointed time. 10.00 - 10.15: You can relax, have a snack at the rest stop in case you haven't had time to eat breakfast (our driver also needs a cup of coffee), use the public restroom before getting on the bus to continue the journey!

11.30 – 11.45: The limousine will arrive at Dock number 26, Tuan Chau marina and reach our pier, where our welcoming staff will be waiting for your arrival with a big smile. A complimentary welcome drink will be served, and a quick briefing as we set off into the bay.

12.00 - 13.00: Our award-winning chef will be serving up amazing delights for guests to indulge. Paired beautifully with lavish cocktails, fine wines, and beers. The bar will be open for the entirety of the service. * Water is served on lunch, any other drinks not mentioned will incur a charge.

14.00 – 14.45: We will spend a 1-hour round trip paddling through a little grotto and into our private lagoon, surrounded by rock walls in all directions. It's a peaceful little corner of Lan Ha Bay all to ourselves. The tour guide will tell the folklore of Lan Ha Bay before paddling back to the boat.

15.00 - 15.45: Enjoy the trampoline, water slide, go for a swim, or just stay on the cruise and marvel at the wonderful views of Lan Ha Bay. Relax and take a few moments to reflect on the absolute beauty of this natural wonder of the world. 16.00: Learn the history of a traditional Vietnamese dish that is the most famous. From the fresh ingredients to the preparation method, and then have a try at making them yourselves. You’ll be able to make Vietnamese summer rolls in your own kitchen after this informative and fun course. Excite all your friends and family at home with your new skills! 16.30: Complimentary Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, and little cakes to keep you satisfied until you return to Hanoi. While the sunset starts to drop and the sky fills with deep red, purple, and yellow, enjoy the return sail back.

17.45 – 18.00: You will dock at Tuan Chau port, then board the bus and return to Hanoi by highway. On the way back, we will have a few minutes to rest at the stop on the way back to Hanoi.
