Embark from Hanoi to explore the stunning beauty of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is a must-see for any traveler to Vietnam. During this 3-day cruise tour, you’ll enjoy a variety of activities such as swimming, kayaking, cave exploration, and squid fishing, all while indulging in luxurious amenities and services on board.
Experience the ultimate adventure with a delicious seafood feast amidst breathtaking waters and discover untouched areas of this incredible destination. Join us to experience one of Vietnam's greatest natural wonders.
The 3 Days and Two Nights Exploring Ha Long Bay is the definitive maritime odyssey for travelers who want to truly "live" in the bay rather than just visit it. This extended 72-hour voyage is designed to take you far beyond the standard tourist tracks to the "forgotten paradises" of Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island, where the water is clearer, the crowds are thinner, and the sense of adventure is limitless.
By choosing a 3-day itinerary, you unlock the luxury of time. You won’t just see the limestone peaks; you will kayak through their hidden tunnels, cycle through ancient jungle villages, and spend two glorious nights under the starlit sky of the Gulf of Tonkin. This is the ultimate Ha Long experience for explorers, photographers, and those seeking a profound escape into nature.
Day 1: The Iconic Heritage Route
Begin your journey with the legendary landmarks of Ha Long. Explore the magnificent Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave) and its colossal chambers of stalactites. Later, climb to the summit of Titov Island for that quintessential 360-degree panoramic view, or enjoy a sunset swim in the emerald waters.
Day 2: Into the Wild (Lan Ha Bay & Cat Ba)
This is where the 3-day tour shines. You will board a smaller "Day Boat" to venture into the quieter, more pristine Lan Ha Bay.
Day 3: The Art of Zen & Farewell
Wake up to a Tai Chi session on the sundeck as the morning mist dances around the karst towers. Enjoy a final kayaking session or a visit to a Pearl Farm to learn about the local maritime economy before participating in a farewell cooking class as the ship glides back toward the harbor.
Highlights
What Makes This Tour Unique
The "Deep-Dive" Itinerary
While 1-day and 2-day tours stay within the high-traffic zones, the 3-day tour allows for a full day of exploration in the Cat Ba Biosphere Reserve. This means more kayaking, more swimming, and a much higher level of privacy.
Dual-Bay Discovery
You get the best of both worlds: the dramatic, world-famous scenery of Ha Long Bay on Day 1, and the wild, untouched beauty of Lan Ha Bay on Day 2.
Maximum Relaxation
Forget the "pack and unpack" stress. With two nights on the same luxury vessel, you can fully settle into your cabin, build a rapport with the crew, and truly unwind into the rhythm of the sea.

Is the second day boat different from the main ship? Yes. To navigate the shallower, more remote areas of Lan Ha Bay and reach the Cat Ba piers, we use a smaller, highly maneuverable "Day Boat." You return to your luxury "Mother Ship" for your second dinner and night's sleep.
Is 3 days too long? Most travelers say 2 days felt like a dream, but 3 days felt like a true vacation. It is the only way to see the "hidden" side of the bay without feeling like you are on a schedule.
What if I don't know how to kayak? Our guides provide a full safety briefing and basic training. The water in the lagoons is very calm, making it the perfect place for beginners to learn.
