This two-day itinerary gives us the chance
to enjoy the bay from the luxury of our private junk. Here you
can relax on the tanning deck, swim in the clear waters and enjoy
the best cuisine available in the bay. All the while you will
be looked after by our dedicated and attentive crew. There is
also the option of exploring some of the bay’s most secluded lagoons
using our fleet of modern easy-to-maneuver kayaks for some unforgettable
scenery only accessible by kayak.
Day
1 // Hanoi // Halong Bay
We depart from the capital for Halong Bay approximately three
hours away. En route we have a short stop at the Sao Do center
run for and by handicapped children. Upon arrival at Halong Bay
(approx. midday) we will be met by the Customer Services Manager
and transferred to our luxury junk, the ‘Jewel of the Bay’. Once
we have settled in we can begin our cruise around majestic Halong
Bay accompanied by a delicious lunch. After lunch we have the
chance to explore some of the limestone caves dotted around the
bay. Then our captain will find a secluded spot where we can swim
in the clear water of the bay, soak up the sun on the top deck
or try our hand at some kayaking. After we have finished exploring
for the day we retire to the junk. We can relax on the top deck
using the sun-tanning area or enjoy a refreshing drink from the
bar. In the evening our cook will prepare a splendid meal comprised
of fresh seafood dishes as well as traditional Vietnamese fare
as we weigh anchor in the heart of the bay. For those that are
interested there is the opportunity to do a spot of night fishing
from the boat.
Day 2 // Halong Bay // Hanoi
Rising to the tranquil beauty of the bay we have time for an early
morning dip followed by breakfast. This morning we continue to
move around the bay to find more secluded areas to either swim
or kayak in. The kayaks are lightweight and easy to use and in
keeping with our safety policies all participants will be issued
with water buoyancy vests. The junk will be near us at all times
serving as a back up vessel for those that require it. At around
midday we will return to the main harbor before transferring to
our awaiting vehicle for a 3-hour journey back to Hanoi. We should
be back in the capital at around 3pm.
