About Halong Bay Junk Boat

Cruises made of steel are bigger, and more stylish, and become really hot for travelers in Halong Bay, which makes many people gradually forget about the existence of traditional junk boats. If you want to travel to Halong Bay in the most authentic way, wooden junk must be the best choice.

Hello, My name is Andrew, from Australia. I am organising a trip to Vietnam and we are interested in a private charter boat for 2 nights. Check in 19 May, check out 21 May 2022. It is for 6 males, therefore we require 6 x beds. 3 x cabins would be sufficient. We would like to be able to do some kayaking and snorkelling. We would like to be able to drink alcohol on board (happy to bring our own if that is permitted). Can you please provide some options, availability and costs? If you need any further information, please let me know. Thank you Andrew
