Hanoi Hotel Pickup (Limousine) 🚐✨

Slip into a plush, chauffeur-driven expressway limousine from your Old Quarter hotel; soft seats, cool A/C, and bottled water set the tone for a polished day. The highway rolls by in a blur of rice paddies and river bridges — calm, quick, and comfortable all the way to the sea.

09:30 :

Welcome Onboard at Tuan Chau Marina 🛳️🥂

Step aboard Jade Sails to a friendly greeting and a welcome drink. A concise safety briefing and check-in follow, then the bow turns toward Halong Bay, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature — your luxury passage to Lan Ha Bay begins.

11:00 :

Buffet Lunch with Bay-Wide Windows 🍽️🌊

Take your seat in the elegant, air-conditioned restaurant; platters of Vietnamese, Western, and seafood favorites arrive as limestone towers slide past broad picture windows. It’s unhurried, flavorful, and made for photos as the karst skyline keeps unfolding.

13:00–13:30 :

Into Dark & Bright: Bamboo-Boat to Hidden Lagoons 🛶🪨

Drop anchor near the Dark & Bright grotto archipelago. Fisherfolk row you by bamboo boat under stalagmite arches; the water deepens to jade, echoes soften, and secret lagoons reveal tangled jungle and quiet ripples — every turn a new frame. It’s gentle, immersive, and perfect for families.

14:45 :

Floating Village Passage 🏘️⛵

Sail past clusters of genuine floating houses — fishing nets drying in the sun, small boats shuttling between pontoons, everyday life unfolding on the water. It’s a living postcard that adds human texture to your Lan Ha story.

15:00 :

Kayaking & Swim at Ao Ech (Lan Ha Bay) 🏝️🚣

Glide into the calm, glassy coves of Ao Ech — a quiet corner cradled by towering cliffs and scattered islets. Paddle at your own pace or slip into the water for a refreshing swim; the scene is pristine, playful, and wonderfully camera-friendly.

16:00 :

Cooking Demo: Vietnamese Spring Rolls 👩‍🍳🥢

Gather for a short, lively cooking class — roll, wrap, and taste your own fresh spring rolls as the chef shares tips and stories. It’s an easy, tasty way to bring a slice of Vietnamese flavor home.

16:30 :

Sunset Party on the Sundeck 🌅🍹

The light turns honey-gold; music hums gently as you mingle on the sundeck with a cool drink in hand. Trade travel tips, take portraits against the karsts, or soak in the front-deck Jacuzzi while the cruise glides back — peak serenity.

17:45 :

Disembark at Tuan Chau ⚓👋

Back at the marina, say a warm goodbye to the crew and step ashore — camera roll full, shoulders loose, and a little sea-salt in your hair.
