Itinerary
At 7:30 AM, meet your driver at your hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter. From there you will begin your 2.5-hour journey to the Got Terminal via Expressway Hanoi, Hai Phong.
At 10:30 AM you will arrive to the Got Marina. You will be welcomed onboard, as you enjoy a welcome drink and receive a cruise briefing and safety instructions.
Lunch will be served on the boat, allowing you to enjoy traditional Vietnamese specialities while cruising along the bay. Along the way, enjoy extraordinary scenery of thousands of limestone islands and islets in Ha Long Bay, such as Turtle Rock, Duck Rock, and Chicken Rock. As you are surrounded by majestic limestone mountains, you will be presented with a mysterious world with wild and gracious beauty. There you can also choose to do kayaking, or can also enjoy bamboo-boat rowing for 45 minutes.
At 12:50 PM the cruise heads towards the Ong Cam area. This area is less touristic and ideal for some kayaking and swimming.
At 3:30 PM, arrive at Gia Luan wharf of Cat Ba Island where you will take a bicycle to visit Hoa Cuong cave.
At 4:30PM you will come back to the cruise, joining a short class for a cooking demonstration in which your chef will guide you on how to make traditional Vietnamese spring rolls. This will help you understand the culinary culture of the Vietnamese.
At 5:30 PM, you will get back to your shuttle bus to return to Hanoi where you will reach your accommodation by approximately 8:00 PM.
