Luxury Halong Bay
Day 1: Hanoi – Ha Long
In the morning drive to Ha Long Bay in your private car, with a refreshment break en route. Board ‘Paradise’ junk on Tuan Chau Island and meet the crew. Enjoy a welcome cocktail & cruise into the bay, enjoying an Asian buffet lunch along the way. In the afternoon explore a famous limestone cave and traditional fishing village. Continue peacefully cruising through the majestic islands of Halong Bay, a perfect time for taking photographs as the sun is beginning to set, arriving at your anchorage for the evening. Take a sunset swim during the hotter Summer months or go kayaking, before enjoying a fabulous dinner. Evening entertainment includes movies, board games or spa treatments. (L, D)
Day 2: Ha Long – Cat Ba Island – Ha Long
For the early birds, enjoy a Tai Chi session on the sundeck at 6am – a magical experience. There is also time for a swim or kayak before a full international buffet breakfast. At 8.30, transfer to a local day trip boat and depart for Cat Ba Island and National Park, where you can take a bicycle trip through untouched forest, or swim in the Bay’s islets. After a Vietnamese set menu at a local restaurant, work off your meal on a hike up Navy Peak, or for the less energetic, enjoy the village scenery.
Board your day boat in the afternoon and cruise through the Bay to another spot for relaxing or swimming. Arrive back at your anchorage point for the evening at 6pm, for more swimming, kayaking or spa treatments, before an Asian dinner, movies & relaxing on deck under the stars. (B, L, D)

Tai Chi again this morning and a buffet breakfast, before cruising through the Bay back to Tuan Chau Island, arriving at 10.30am. Arrive back in Hanoi at approximately 2.30pm.
