Escape from Hanoi for a premium day cruise through the breathtaking seascapes of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. This experience is designed for travellers who want a more comfortable, scenic, and activity-filled cruise with limousine transfer, a 5-star cruise setting, and extended time on the bay.
Start with pickup from hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter or the meeting point, then travel by luxury limousine via the motorway to Tuan Chau Marina. Upon arrival, board the Taliya Cruise and enjoy a welcome drink while the crew shares a short safety and itinerary briefing.
Begin cruising through the limestone islands and emerald waters of the Halong Bay area before continuing towards Lan Ha Bay, a quieter and more peaceful route known for dramatic karsts and hidden lagoons. Enjoy a Vietnamese fusion lunch in the air-conditioned restaurant while taking in panoramic bay views.
In the afternoon, explore Dark & Bright Cave by traditional bamboo boat rowed by local people. Glide through a natural tunnel into a calm lagoon surrounded by limestone cliffs. Continue to the Ao Ech area, where you can kayak or swim in clear water, depending on weather and tidal conditions.
Back on board, join a Vietnamese cooking demonstration and learn how to make traditional spring rolls. Later, relax on the sundeck, enjoy the jacuzzi, and join a sunset party as the cruise makes its way back to Tuan Chau Harbour.
After disembarking, return to Hanoi by limousine and end the day with drop-off in the Old Quarter area.
