Morning

8:00 - 09:00: A limousine will pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi and travel to Halong, if you book this service (an extra fee is needed).

11:30: Arrival at Larissa Cruise office at Halong Port; you will have a bit of time to relax and wait for the captain to finish the registration. Then, you will transfer by tender to the cruise.

Embarkation on the cruise is around 12:30. Enjoy your welcome drinks and spend a couple of minutes listening to the tour guide’s briefing before checking in to your cabin. Later, a buffet lunch will be served in the restaurant while you’re leisurely cruising further into Bai Tu Long Bay.

Afternoon

Arrival in today's kayaking area - Cap La Island. You can enjoy kayaking amongst the karst and breathtaking nature as well as swimming and relaxing on a natural beach. If you cannot do kayaking, you can choose to take the tender boat to go around the area. Towels and waterproof bags will be provided. The cruise will stop in the anchorage area.

Spend some time exploring the pristine Cap La area.

Afterward, we will go back to the boat and relax. Then, there will be a sunset party with music and happy hour. Later, get ready to join in the preparation of a cooking demonstration – with a detailed explanation by the guide. 

Evening

We have a special dinner on the top deck while enjoying the bay outside. After that, it's your free time to challenge yourself in Vietnamese puzzle games, or gather your group/family for a board game; try your luck with squid fishing or simply have a cocktail and enjoy the quiet night.

Morning & Afternoon

Start your day with a Tai Chi session on the sundeck or catch a morning view of the stunning bay’s landscape. Then, an InterContinental breakfast will be served, familiar to your stomach, to restore your strength and ready you for another day.

Today, we will explore the well-hidden Thien Canh Son Cave. This is one of the most beautiful caves in Bai Tu Long Bay, with an outstanding system of stalactites and stalagmites.

Explore the majestic Thien Canh Son Cave.

Return to the cruise after the cave tour. You should have enough time to pack your luggage and have a shower before check-out at 9:15. You can leave your heavy luggage in the corridor and keep the key on the door.

Later, enjoy a Vietnamese set menu on the boat as the cruise ship returns to the mainland.
