DAY 1: CAT BA ISLAND – OVERNIGHT CRUISE ON LAN HA BAY – KAYAKING WITH GLOWING PLANKTON

Transfer to Ha Long Bay – Cat Ba Archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its charming vegetation-covered limestone islands and impressive karst formations. Upon arrival at the port, take a short speedboat ride and board the cruise at noon. After a welcome drink, check into your cabin and enjoy lunch while cruising through the scenic bay, passing by rocky islets, fish farms, and secluded beaches. 

As the sun sets, the cruise anchors in a quiet spot, and you’ll have the chance to participate in a cooking demonstration. Dinner will be served on board with traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

The highlight of the night awaits when the cruise moves to a secluded spot perfect for night kayaking. Under a starry sky, paddle through the calm, dark waters, where every stroke of your paddle causes the water to glow with soft, blue light from bioluminescent plankton. 

Overnight on the cruise.
