This morning, you will be met at your Hanoi hotel for the 2.5 hour transfer to the Bhaya Cruise Centre, where you can enjoy a refreshing drink with your fellow passengers before boarding your boutique boat. With no more than seven cabins, each with its own bathroom and private balcony, the Bhaya Legend offers a intimate and relaxing cruising experience, ideal for couples or groups of friends.

A delicious Vietnamese buffet lunch will be served as you set sail into Halong Bay and pass the intriguingly named Fighting-Cock and Human Head islets, two of the thousands of limestone karsts that rise from the UNESCOS heritage site’s emerald waters.

In the afternoon, stop to admire the mysterious, sunlight-filled Trinh Nu Cave, and relax on, or kayak from, a private beach. Back on board, enjoy a cooking demonstration and happy hour, making sure you are on the top deck to watch the sunset over Halong Bay before a delicious dinner.

Lunch and dinner

The next day, early risers may enjoy a spot of Tai Chi on deck, before brunch is served as the boat continues through this stunning seascape.

Avoiding the morning crowd, you’ll stop at the picturesque Sung Sot Cave, the largest in Halong Bay. Walk through the three main chambers admiring the impressive stalagmites and stalactites and enjoy the wonderful elevated views over the bay from an outside vantage point. 

Return to the boat and soak in the scenery once more on your way back to port, where your return transfer  to Hanoi will be waiting.
