Hanoi - Halong Bay Tour 1 Day by Vera Day Cruise

07:50 – 08:00AM: Our driver will pick you up at your hotel then depart for about 03 hours bus ride through the country side of the Red River Delta to Halong City. On the way, you will see water buffaloes, paddy fields (rice transplanting time: February and June) and daily Vietnamese farmer life are on both sides of the way.

10:30: Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Harbour, you will check in and get on board the cruise then start a trip to discover the World Heritage.

11:00: Upon boarding, guests are warmly welcomed by the crew and offered a welcome drink. The boat sets sail, taking guests to explore Halong Bay’s most beautiful landmarks, where majestic natural scenery unfolds with thousands of limestone islands.

The Vera Cruise will pass by Bai Tho Mountain, a famous symbol of Halong Bay, and the 25-meter-high Hon Dau Nguoi (Human Head Islet), with its unique shape rising from the crystal-clear waters. Here, the boat will slow down so guests can easily capture these wonderful moments through their lenses.

12:00: Guests will enjoy a deluxe buffet lunch featuring fresh seafood renowned in Quang Ninh, along with a variety of distinctive Vietnamese dishes.

14:00: At the Luon Cave area, guests can opt to experience kayaking or rowboat rides.
For those not participating in the water activities, you can rest and enjoy the Jacuzzi on board.

15:00: At Titov Island, you can swim, sunbathe on the pristine white sand, or challenge yourself by climbing to the summit. From the top, you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Halong Bay, where thousands of limestone peaks rise from the emerald waters.

16:00: Return to the boat for an exciting sunset party. Here, you can relax on the sundeck, enjoy refreshing drinks along with snacks and fresh fruit. The wonderful natural setting, combined with the Jacuzzi, will make the sunset experience peaceful and romantic.
