About this experience
Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay Luxury Day Tour is a good option for you to enjoy your holiday in Vietnam. Lan Ha Bay has recently been known as an alternative route to the usual one taken through Halong Bay for its peacefulness. The gently shimmering sea that carpets the bay is hugely inviting; so we ensures that your experience is not just limited to our luxury boat, but also spent in kayaks, on sampan boats and directly in the water. You will see the best of the Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay in just one day on this cruise, which can be booked with or without transfers from Hanoi. You'll spend roughly six hours cruising the beautiful area, with stops along the way to swim and kayak if you choose. Other onboard activities include a cooking demonstration, an included lunch of Vietnamese food, and a sunset party.
