Service & Activities

After arriving at Tuan Chau Terminal, Halong, you will be transferred to the cruise by a tender boat. Peony then sets the 2-day-1-night sail towards the gorgeous Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island in the afternoon for some swimming and kayaking in the Frog Pond area.

The journey concludes with a visit to the Dark and Bright Caves on the second day, followed by a shuttle bus ride to Hanoi. Passengers on the 3-day-2-night will have extra time to explore the Viet Hai fishing hamlet and get a fantastic experience there.

Kayaking

Paddle around Frog Pond in a kayak to get your new challenge. The lush vegetation surrounding the bay provides an idyllic backdrop for your adventure. You can admire the towering karst formations from the water, and if you're lucky, catch a glimpse of the exotic wildlife that calls the area home.

Dive into the refreshing water and experience the sensation of weightlessness as you float amidst the stunning natural scenery. The cool water is perfect for a refreshing dip after a long day of exploration, and you may even spot some colorful fish swimming around you.

Sunset Party

Enjoy your drink while sightseeing as the sun goes down. Breathe the fresh air among the seascape on the sundeck. Watch the sky transform into a spectrum of colors as the sun sets behind the towering karst formations. Savor the moment and immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings, with the gentle lapping of the waves and the sea breeze caressing your skin.

@Angelo RUGGERI:

I am not sure I understand your question clearly, if you want to flight to Halong you can flight to Van Don International airport. And riding duration between hanoi - Halong is 2.5 hours, cost for bus is 20 USD /person/way.

@Amrutha:

We offer transfer in bus or private car, i think you have small child should use private car for more comfortable. When is your arrival time on 20 Nov, it takes about 3 hours from Hanoi airport to NInh Binh, if too late you should stay in Hanoi and transfer to NB next day.
