- 4Luon Cave & Lagoon
- Morning
After a three-hour trip to Halong Bay, you will be picked up from your Hanoi hotel (transport not included in cabin price). The long journey is far more thrilling than you anticipated because of Vietnam's rural landscape, which features distant ancient villages and expansive paddy fields. Get on the Bhaya Classic after arriving at Tuan Chau Marina about midday.
- Afternoon
As the boat cruises towards South East Halong Bay, passing by Chicken Rock, Finger Islet, and Frog Islet, let the vacation begin with lunch. The boat makes a stop at Tung Sau Area, where kayaking is available amid steep mountains. Go back to the boat and have a "Buy One, Get One Free" Happy Hour beverage. You can attend a workshop in fruit carving or watch a demonstration of cooking by a skilled chef.
- Evening
Our excellent chef will start serving dinner at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a variety of entertaining activities this evening, such as movie night, board games, even maybe fishing if the weather permits. Included in the meals: 2
- Morning
A light breakfast and an early start to an interesting day await you as you head to the Sundeck for Tachi's morning lesson. Change to a dayboat made of wood. To see Luon Cave, an underwater cave with a breathtaking view of a lagoon, you will board a rowing boat. Next, the day boat travels to one of Halong Bay's oldest settlements, Cua Van Floating Fishing Village. To experience the sights and learn about the way of life of the natives, you can opt to kayak or sit on a sampan boat that is rowed by one of their number.
- Afternoon
The day boat serves lunch. You have time to unwind or explore the 2,000 square meter Trinh Nu Cave, which is home to numerous stalactites and stalagmites. After that, return to Bhaya Cruise and take part in onboard events like happy hour, cooking demonstrations, or cabin relaxation.
- Evening
Savor a lavish supper from the set menu while on board. After that, the staff members will be at your disposal to help you spend the entire night relaxing on your own. Meals consisted of three
- Morning
Probably the most fascinating thing to do on the second morning on the bay is the Tai Chi morning lesson. Explore Sung Sot Cave, the largest cave in Halong Bay, home to stalactites and stalagmites that date back thousands of years. To get ready for check-out, return to the boat. At nine in the morning, brunch will be served as the cruiser gently approaches Tuan Chau Pier. Around 10:30, arrive at Tuan Chau Marina and board the bus that will return you to Hanoi. Tour concludes. Among the meals were: 1
