What Makes Hera Luxury Day Cruise Different

Lan Ha Bay instead of the busy classic route

While most day boats repeat Sung Sot Cave and Ti Top Island, Hera Luxury Day Cruise heads to quieter Lan Ha Bay for Dark & Bright Cave and the Frog Pond lagoon.

Pool, water slide and mini golf

A sundeck pool, a slide from the bow into the sea at Frog Pond and a mini golf course make it the most playful day cruise we sell.

Hands-on extras

A lion dance welcome, a spring-roll cooking class and private day cabins add variety to a long day on the water.

Who Hera Luxury Day Cruise Is Best For

Book it if you are

  • A family with children who love swimming and slides
  • A group of friends looking for an active day
  • A returning visitor who has already seen Sung Sot and Ti Top
