Full description
On day one of this spectacular two-day cruise, a shuttle bus picks you up from your hotel, with a short stop on the way. Following departure from Hon Gai Pier, you'll be welcomed with a drink and, later, a delicious Vietnamese set menu will be served while leisurely cruising further into the heart of Bai Tu Long Bay. You'll be able to explore the mysteries of well-hidden Thien Canh Son Cave, or enjoy kayaking through breathtaking nature at Cap La Island. After these invigorating activities, it's back to the boat for a chef-led cooking class before tucking into a sumptuous on-board feast. During downtime, challenge yourself to a Vietnamese puzzle, gather your group for a board game, try your luck with squid fishing, or simply quaff a cocktail and enjoy a peaceful night on the bay. On day two, visit ancient Vung Vieng Floating Village, where you will be immersed in the still atmosphere, surrounded by rocky mountains, before returning to Hanoi in the afternoon.

What an amazing trip! Incredibly well organised, friendly staff, amazing food, activities were fab, and the scenery stunning! The only downside is that I was pescatarian so was fine with meals, but my friend who I travelled with is vegetarian and her meals were lackluster. Especially when bowls of veg came out next to elaborate meals, it really put a damper on things and had a really negative impact on her experience.

Booked this trip a few days before taking it, in Dec 2022. Have been looking forward to visiting Bai Tu Long Bay, the quieter area in this unique UNESCO site, for some time. I was not disappointed, the experience was a once in a lifetime one, that I’ll probably never get to repeat. The cruise was an Athena Group Signature Cruise., and the whole experience was first class from beginning to end. I was tempted several times to pinch myself, I couldn’t believe just how amazing it was. The boat, cabin, excursions and activities were excellent, and couldn’t be faulted. The food was a real 5* dining experience, from a chef who obviously takes great pride in his work. On top of all this was a crew of warm, friendly people; headed by Chien, who wanted to make our stay truly memorable- achieved with ease. At GYG I was kept informed by Thuy throughout, putting this solo traveller at ease on her first trip to Vietnam…..many thanks all….

Un'esperienza pazzesca, insieme ad un team eccezionale che ha reso un tour indimenticabile. Cruise impeccabile per pulizia, cibo ed organizzazione trasporti! La baia di HaLong ovviamente è la ciliegina sulla torta che rende l'esperienza indimenticabile. Consiglio vivamente questa esperienza con questo tour.
