This three-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 // Halong 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.
Day 2
// Halong Bay
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. For those that
wish to do some more kayaking you have the option of spending
most of the morning with your kayaks and rendezvous with the junk
for lunch. 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 act as a back up vessel following
us at all times. After lunch we will head back to the main harbor
for half an hour administration work, get the permission for the
second night out. In the afternoon we once again move around the
bay at a leisurely pace stopping to view some more caves. As the
sun begins to set why not relax in the Games room with a refreshing
drink and gaze upon the natural splendor of the day. This evening,
another tasty meal will be served on board.
Day 3
// Halong Bay // Hanoi
This morning we continue to move around the bay to find more secluded
areas to either swim or kayak in. 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.
