Itinerary
|
We will come to pick you up at your hotel at 8:30am. The 3 – hour journey through the rich farmlands of the Red River Delta opens the scenery of rice fields, water buffaloes and Vietnamese village daily life. We will stop over in Hai Duong to take a cup of green tea with a piece of the provincial traditional sweet green bean cake.
Arrive Ha Long around noon, we will board our private junk and begin the cruise in the bay. Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, Ha Long Bay is one of the world's outstanding natural wonders, resembling a geographic work of art with thousands of limestone islets soaring dramatically from the clear emerald waters. This densely concentrated zone of karts islands, world famous for its spectacular scenery of grottoes and caves, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On this tour, witness the tranquil beauty and breathtaking scenery from the decks of a traditional junk, complete with bat-winged sails. Gliding through the gin-clear waters of the bay, absorb one of the most magnificent natural splendors of the Far East. See tiny islands dotted with rock arches, sheer cliffs, innumerable white sand beaches and peaceful coves. Like sculpted cartoon characters, these limestone islands have fanciful names: Incense Burner, Stone Dog and Fighting Chickens (the symbol of Halong Bay.) A fresh seafood lunch will be served on board before stop for the two of most beautiful caves named Thien Cung (Heaven Palace Grotto) and Dau Go (Wooden Stakes Cave). Climbing steep stairs to explore huge chambers adorned with stalactites and stalagmites of all kinds. Continue to enjoy this relaxing cruise through the fairyland-like landscape. In the late afternoon, we head back to Ha Long harbour and our waiting vehicle will transfer us back to Hanoi. Arrive in Hanoi approximately around 7pm.
