Detaited itinerary:

Day 01: Hanoi - Haiphong - Lan Ha - Halong Bay (Lunch, Dinner included)
08:00 - Pick up at your hotel and take the morning drive to Cat Ba Island via Hai Phong City and Cat Hai island. The drive includes a 30-minute ferry ride before reaching Cat Ba Island. The drive takes about 3hours 30.

​​12:00 - Check inyour private Indochine Classic, enjoy welcome drink, move around to learn about the boat and check into your cabin before cruising. From the top, you will have a chance to enjoy lovely panoramas of Cat Ba Island's jungle-clad hills rolling down to colorful tangles of fishing boats in the harbor and out to the karst-punctuated sea beyond.

​​12:30 - Pull up the anchor and start your cruise. The junk firstly winds its way by a fishing village toward Lan Ha Bay. Not much different from Halong Bay, featured with hundreds of limestone islands and islets. Lan Ha is smaller but the karst formations gather close together, this makes Lan Ha Bay become the best place for kayaking and swimming activities. The beaches are tiny but there are more than in Halong Bay.

13:30 - Anchor is dropped in the middle of the bay for lunch time. If the weather is nice, your lunch will be served on the top where you are able to enjoy the scenery the best.

14:30 - After the lunch, the crews will help you on the kayaks. You will spend 1hr paddling around to explore some corners of the bay. Get closer to the feet of the islands, explore a natural lake which is surrounded by sheer rock walls which can be accessed by only one tunnel-like cave. Jump off your kayaks for a swim when you wish.

15:30 - Anchor is pulled up for the cruise toward Halong Bay. After a turn where you can view the open sea, you will reach Halong Bay. It gets a bit wider but you could not see a lot of tourist boats as you are still in a remote part of the bay. The junk is gently moving toward the night place.

17:30 - Get back on the top-deck for an interesting cooking demonstration during the sunset. The chef will show you how he makes the Vietnamese popular fried rolls. Of course, after the samples, you will have a go, then enjoy your work right after.

19:00 - Enjoy set-menu dinner and stay overnight on the traditional junk.
