Luxury Catamaran Day Cruise in Lan Ha Bay with Jade Lagoons & Sunset Toasts

Glide a premium catamaran through quiet coves, kayak Bright–Dark Cave, swim Frog Pond, and savor sunset tea—seamlessly arranged from Hanoi.

Luxury Catamaran Day Cruise in Lan Ha Bay with Jade Lagoons & Sunset Toasts
Dawn in Hanoi Old Quarter gives way to a smooth expressway run east, rice fields and river light sliding past your window. At Tuan Chau Marina, a wide-deck, steel-hull luxury catamaran welcomes you aboard—sea breeze, easy smiles, and that “we’re really going” grin. Over a fresh on-board lunch, karsts gather on the horizon; soon you’re paddling into the hush of Bright–Dark Cave by kayak (or bamboo boat), slipping from grotto to private lagoon. The afternoon opens at Frog Pond for a gentle swim, an optional slide, or time-out on deck to watch jade ripples catch the sun. A hands-on cooking demo leads to sunset tea & cakes as Lan Ha’s colors turn honey-gold—less touristy, family-friendly, and beautifully paced. Extend the magic with our Lan Ha Bay guide, compare options on the Halong Bay Day Cruise, or weave this day into a wider Vietnam Itinerary 7 Days or 10 Days.
