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.
