Embark for a memorable boat cruise in the heart of the mythical Halong Bay. Translated as the "Bay of Descending Dragons", the legend says that dragons came to protect the people against the invaders and created the stunning limestone rocks rising from the sea. Set off on the adventure of a lifetime, sailing through the wonderful rocky islands and natural caves of this breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site. At 8:00am your driver and guide will pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi to enjoy the picturesque countryside during the drive to Halong Bay (Approx. 3.5 hours). A toilet/refreshment stop will be made along the way. Upon arrival, embark for a 4hour boat trip on a traditional Vietnamese junk and cruise through the huge limestone rocks on the Bay’s emerald water. After a seafood lunch onboard, visit one of the most beautiful caves of the Bay called Thien Cung Cave. The tiny islands are dotted with innumerable beaches and caves that make an excellent backdrop for swimming or just lazing about on the boat deck. At the end of the afternoon the boat takes you back to the harbor where your car will be waiting to take you back to Hanoi (arrival around 8pm).
