This full-day trip is a perfect way to spend as much time on the water as you can in just one day. We use the highway to maximize our time spent enjoying this wondrous beauty. Sailing amongst the 1969 limestone karsts that scatter the emerald water of Halong and Lan Ha Bay, this is an unforgettable day. The brand new luxury premium boat staffed with a warm and welcoming crew, delicious food, and exciting activities, will be the highlight of your trip.
07:45 – 8:30 Hotel Pick Up Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter, ranging from 07:45 – 8:30 AM, we try to make the pick-ups as timely as possible but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and many hotels to collect from this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite this process.
