10:15 :

Check-in at Tuan Chau Harbor 🛳️

Arrive at Tuan Chau Harbor, meet your crew, and board Amethyst Day Cruise. A welcome drink in hand, you’ll get a short safety brief while the limestone silhouettes of Halong begin to rise around you.

10:30 :

Cast Off — Sail into Halong’s Emerald Channels ⛵

Amethyst eases away from the pier for a joyful bay crossing. Keep your camera ready—classic islets appear one by one: Fighting Cock, Incense Burner, and a hundred sculpted peaks shaped by time and tide.

11:30 :

Buffet Lunch Onboard 🍽️

Enjoy a generous Vietnamese buffet (seafood and local favorites). Fresh, flavorful, and timed perfectly so you can dine with wide-open bay views. Vegetarian options available—just tell us in advance.

12:30 :

Luon Cave — Kayaking the Quiet Lagoon (≈30 min) 🛶

Arrive at Luon Cave. Slip into a kayak and paddle through a low arch into a calm, circular lagoon wrapped by jungle-clad cliffs. It’s peaceful here—birdsong, gentle ripples, and mirror-still water on windless days.

13:45 :

Surprising Cave — Cathedral Chambers (≈45 min) 🕯️

Walk the grand chambers of Sung Sot (Surprising) Cave, the largest and most beautiful in Halong Bay. Light plays across stalactites and terraces; viewpoints outside reveal a karst-studded horizon that feels endless.

Titov Island — Viewpoint Climb & Beach Time ⛰️🏖️

Drop anchor at Titov Island. A short, steady stair climb brings you to one of the best 360° lookouts in the bay—perfect for those “I was here” panoramas. Back at sea level, enjoy a quick beach stroll or a breather in the shade.

16:30 :

Sunset Party on Deck — Sail Home in Golden Light 🌅

Reboard for an easy cruise back. Sip Vietnamese tea, taste fresh fruit and cakes, and—if you like—soak by the Jacuzzi as the bay turns to honeyed gold. On the way, you’ll pass the scenic Hoa Cuong area—quiet, beautiful, and photo-worthy.

17:45–18:00 :

Return to Tuan Chau Harbor ⚓

Disembark with that satisfied, salt-air glow. Your driver is waiting.
