Asked by Lia · 2 years ago
Hi, do u include the dark cave in ur itinerary? And if I don't want to do activities can I stay on day boat? Is day boat similar to La casta boat? As it mentions we have lunch on the day boat for 3 days 2 nights cruise. Thank u
1 answerAAnswered by Annie · 2 years ago
Dear Lia, Thank you for your email. La Casta Cruise will visit either Dark & Bright Cave or Ba Trai Dao Beach. If you do not want to take the activities on the second day, I recommend you to stay on La Casta Cruise as you can have a rest in your cabin, use the Jacuzzi or enjoy in the sundeck. However, please note that if you stay on the boat, the menu will be repeated. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
