- 3Titop Island
- 4Luon Cave & Lagoon
- Morning
The transferred vehicle picks you up from Hanoi Old Quarter at approximately 8:30 or 9:00 for those who provide shuttle bus services. You can reach Halong Bay in three hours by car, with a short stop halfway. You can take a boat to La Casta Cruise from Tuan Chau Port. Following the check-in process, you savor your first meal aboard La Casta Cruise as the ship departs the harbor and embarks on its unique journey to the breathtaking Halong Bay. ________________
- Afternoon
At the Ba Trai Dao region, the ship drops anchor. You will have around an hour to swim or kayak in this private spot. The tour will switch to kayaking or rowing to Dark - Bright cave if the weather does not allow. Return aboard the ship and take advantage of Happy Hour, which offers select drink specials and a buy two, get one free deal. During the culinary demonstration at 18:00, the chef walks you through the process of preparing a traditional Vietnamese dish.
- Evening
In the restaurant they serve dinner. You have free time for enjoyment the remainder of the evening. You have the option to play board games at the bar, fish squid on the boat, or recuperate at the spa with soothing massages and natural treatments. Spend the night on the cruise. Included were lunch and dinner.
- Morning
Try a Taichi class on the upper deck as the sun rises to revitalize your body and take in the fresh air. The restaurant has pastries, tea, and coffee ready for breakfast. I boarded a day boat at eight in the morning to begin my journey to the western portion of Lan Ha Bay. Go to Cat Ba Island's Viet Hai Village. By bicycle or electric vehicle, explore the historic village and its natural surroundings. After that, have fun kayaking in a secluded location before returning to the dayboat.
- Afternoon
We eat lunch on the day boat. You get around an hour to swim at the Ba Trai Dao region after a short period of recuperation before returning to the La Casta cruise. Savor a sunset tea party paired with fresh fruit. Time to kill before dinner.
- Evening
After dinner, enjoy some free time to relax in the cabin, schedule a massage, or go squid fishing. Spend the night on the cruise.
- Morning
Those that get up early might participate in a Tai Chi class or simply watch the breathtaking sunrise over Lan Ha Bay. The ideal approach to begin a new day on the cruise would be to savor a freshly made cup of coffee. Before the boat takes you to Tra Bau, a lovely destination in Lan Ha Bay renowned for its pristine beauty, let the personnel offer you a delectable breakfast. You appreciate the unspoiled seascapes of the area while swimming or kayaking. You return to the boat after that and check out at 9:30. A lavish lunch will be provided to everyone as the cruise heads back to the mainland. You board the shuttle bus to return to Hanoi after disembarking. Among the meals were: Lunch and Breakfast
