Ha Long Bay covers an area of 1,500 square km. With more than
a thousand limestone peaks rising up from its crystalline
emerald waters this area is rightly viewed as one of the
natural wonders of Vietnam and is one of five World
Heritage-listed sites. This two-day itinerary gives us the
chance to enjoy the bay from the luxury of our private junk.
Here you can relax on the tanning deck, swim in the clear
waters and enjoy the best cuisine available in the bay. All
the while you will be looked after by our dedicated and
attentive crew. There is also the option of exploring some of
the bay’s most secluded lagoons using our fleet of modern
easy-to-maneuver kayaks for some unforgettable scenery only
accessible by kayak.
Day 1: Hanoi – Ha Long Bay
We depart from the capital for Ha Long Bay approximately three
hours away. En route we have a short stop at the Sao Dao
center run for and by handicapped children. Upon arrival at Ha
Long Bay (approx. midday) we will be met by the Customer
Services Manager and transferred to our luxury junk, the
‘Jewel of the Bay’. Once we have settled in we can begin our
cruise around majestic Ha Long Bay accompanied by a delicious
lunch. After lunch we have the chance to explore some of the
limestone caves dotted around the bay. Then our captain will
find a secluded spot where we can swim in the clear water of
the bay, soak up the sun on the top deck or try our hand at
some kayaking. After we have finished exploring for the day we
retire to the junk. We can relax on the top deck using the
sun-tanning area or enjoy a refreshing drink from the bar. In
the evening our cook will prepare a splendid meal comprised of
fresh seafood dishes as well as traditional Vietnamese fare as
we weigh anchor in the heart of the bay. For those that are
interested there is the opportunity to do a spot of night
fishing from the boat. (Lunch & Dinner included)
Day 2: Ha Long Bay – Hanoi
Rising to the tranquil beauty of the bay we have time for an
early morning dip followed by breakfast. This morning we
continue to move around the bay to find more secluded areas to
either swim or kayak in. The kayaks are lightweight and easy
to use and in keeping with our safety policies all
participants will be issued with water buoyancy vests. The
junk will be near us at all times serving as a back up vessel
for those that require it. At around midday we will return to
the main harbor before transferring to our awaiting vehicle
for a 3-hour journey back to Hanoi. We should be back in the
capital at around 3pm. (Breakfast & Lunch included)
