Daily tour from Hanoi. This 2 days 1 night tour departs from your hotel, overnight on Jewel Junk.
This two-day itinerary gives us the chance to enjoy the bay from the
luxury of our private junk. Here you can relax on the tanning deck, swim
in the clear waters and enjoy the best cuisine available in the bay.
All the while you will be looked after by our dedicated and attentive
crew. There is also the option of exploring some of the bay’s most
secluded lagoons using our fleet of modern easy-to-maneuver kayaks for
some unforgettable scenery only accessible by kayak.
Day 1: Hanoi – Halong (L, D)
Our guide pick you up from 8:00 am to 8:30 am at your hotel. We depart from the capital for
Halong Bay
approximately three hours away. En route we have a short stop at the
Sao Do center run for and by handicapped children. Upon arrival at
Halong Bay (approx. midday) we will be met by the Customer Services Manager and transferred to our
luxury junk, the ‘
Jewel of the Bay’. Once we have settled in we can begin our cruise around majestic
Halong Bay accompanied
by a delicious lunch. After lunch we have the chance to explore some of
the limestone caves dotted around the bay. Then our captain will find a
secluded spot where we can swim in the clear water of the bay, soak up
the sun on the top deck or try our hand at some kayaking. After we have
finished exploring for the day we retire to
the junk.
We can relax on the top deck using the sun-tanning area or enjoy a
refreshing drink from the bar. In the evening our cook will prepare a
splendid meal comprised of fresh seafood dishes as well as traditional
Vietnamese fare as we weigh anchor in the heart of the bay. For those
that are interested there is the opportunity to do a spot of night
fishing from the boat. Overnight on
Jewel of the Bay
Day 2: Halong – Hanoi (B, L)
Rising to the tranquil beauty of the bay we have time
for an early morning dip followed by breakfast. This morning we
continue to move around the bay to find more secluded areas to either
swim or kayak in. The kayaks are lightweight and easy to use and in
keeping with our safety policies all participants will be issued with
water buoyancy vests. The junk will be near us at all times serving as a
back up vessel for those that require it. At noon, we will return to
the main harbor before transferring to our awaiting vehicle for a 3-hour
journey back to
Hanoi. We should be back in the capital at around 3 P.M.
