Full itinerary
Our shuttle bus picks you up at your hotel (if you use our transfer, the pickup location is 2 km from Hoan Kiem Lake). Start a 2.5-hour drive via the expressway to Tuan Chau Marina.
Arrive at Tuan Chau. Welcome onboard! While you sip a fresh welcome drink, the cruise team has a briefing and safety instructions before you start a 7.5-hour journey on Lan Ha Bay.
A hearty buffet lunch is served with a bunch of Vietnamese food, Western food, and local seafood.
JadeSails Cruise drops the anchor at Dark-Bright Cave, one of the most untouched and beautiful areas in Lan Ha Bay. The sampan rowing boats take you through the cave, witness the million-year-old stalactites, and enjoy the tranquility in the lagoon.
The cruise progresses to Frog Pond area in Lan Ha Bay for kayaking and swimming.
Back to the cruise. Watch the cooking demonstration by a talented chef and learn how to make the most traditional dish in Vietnam - Spring Rolls.
Sunset Party is ready on sundeck. You can unwind on the sun loungers, order some beers, make friends with other passengers, or simply admire the magnificent sunset. Jacuzzi pool or spa is another idea to relax while the cruise sails back to Tuan Chau.
Disembark on Tuan Chau Marina. Get on bus back to Hanoi.
The bus drops you off at your hotel. Trip ends.
Note: shuttle bus service, if booked, will pick up guests at 7:30am.

Dear Atkeat, I'm pleased to inform you that we do offer shuttle bus Halong - Ninh Binh at 18 USD/ person. Warm regards, Lilly
hi there! this is my hotel: Luxury Serviced Apartment Vinhomes D’Capitale – Zen Homes. can i ask: 1. is there 2 way shuttle bus service from my hotel? 2. since i will be visiting at the start of jan (3rd jan), it is during the winter period. will it be foggy? and will kayaking and swimming still take place?
Dear Evelyn, Regarding the shuttle service, I would like to inform you that shuttle bus transfers are only available for hotels located within the Hanoi Old Quarter. Unfortunately, we cannot pick you up directly from the Luxury Serviced Apartment Vinhomes D’Capitale – Zen Homes as it is outside this area. For your inquiry about the weather, the beginning of January is the winter period in Ha Long Bay, with temperatures generally ranging from 15-20°C. The weather is typically cool, cloudy, and while there might be some fog in the morning, it is usually not heavy. Kayaking and swimming activities will still be available for guests who wish to participate. Best regards, Tracy
