Full Itinerary
Be picked up at you hotel in Hanoi for a 3 hour drive to Halong Bay (transfer not included in cabin price). This is really an opportunity for you to take pieces of Vietnam’s village life with lush green hills and forests and iridescent gold paddy fields.
Arrive at Tuan Chau Marina by noon then transfer to Bhaya Classic for welcome drinks and cruise safety instruction.
AfternoonLet the vacation begin with a lunch as the boat cruises towards South East Halong Bay, passing by Chicken Rock, Finger Islet, and Frog Islet. The cruise stops at Trinh Nu Cave - one of the most beautiful untouched caves in Halong Bay. You will kayak around the area to discover the specatacular landscape of Halong bay.
Return to boat and enjoy Happy Hour for drink "Buy one, Get one for free". You can join the cooking demonstration or fruit carving class by talented chef.
EveningThe above activities will be followed by a sumptuous set-menu seafood dinner onboard. Spend the night with your fellow friends or family with refined cocktail and wine on sundeck, movie night or massage service. If weather permits, join us on our squid fishing venture.
The Taichi morning class is probably the most interesting activity of the second morning on the bay. Visit Sung Sot Cave - the biggest cave in Halong Bay with thousands-year-old stalactites and stalagmites. Back to the vessel to prepare for check-out. Brunch will be served at 9:30am while the crusie slowly sails toward Tuan Chau Pier. Arrive in Tuan Chau marina at around 10:30 and get on bus back to Hanoi. Tour ends.

Hello! i am looking to book a tour in November and am traveling with a group of 3 people total. we would all like to stay in the same room. is this possible on your cruise? Thanks!
Answered by Jolie | Jul. 22, 2021 03:34
Dear Alexis Ilyinsky, Thank you for your question. I am sorry that the cabin on Bhaya Cruise cannot accommodate 3 adults thus you will need 2 cabins in total. Otherwise, you can consider Bhaya Premium Cruise (https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/bhaya-classic-premium-cruise.html) - another line of Bhaya Cruise. This cruise is available for a triple cabin and you can find the cost on your travel date directly on the website. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries.

Hi, in regards to luggage, is there a maximum in which we can bring on board? Thank you
Answered by Cindy | Jun. 25, 2021 09:14
Dear Michaela Rozario, Thank you for contacting us. Please be advised the boat does not limit the luggage you can bring onboard but the room is quite small and if you store all the luggage in your room, it would be a bit cramped for you. Hence, please leave the big luggage at the hotel if possible for your convenience. Please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Answered by Sunny | Jul. 27, 2018 03:00
Dear Mr. Emilio Klarnet, Thank you for your email. My name is Sunny from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip.

Answered by Cindy | Mar. 16, 2017 05:59
Dear Massiel Serrano, Thank you for your email! Please be advised that it is totally fine that you can book a single room now when add one more person if someone joins tour with you later.
