Description
Your experience begins with convenient hotel pickup at around 3:30 PM in winter or 4:00 PM in summer. After a short transfer to Cai Beo Ferry Terminal, cruise through the breathtaking scenery of Lan Ha Bay and pass the historic Floating Fisherman Village.
Arrive at Monkey Island during golden hour, where you can relax, swim in the warm waters, and look out for the island’s playful wild monkeys.
As night falls, we’ll take you to a quiet beach for the highlight of the evening: swimming among glowing bioluminescent plankton. Watch the water sparkle around you under the moonlight for a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Dinner is served at our local homestay
Around 8:00 PM, cruise back to Beo Pier, then enjoy a delicious dinner at our family-owned restaurant, featuring local dishes such as fish, spring rolls, chicken, and tofu, with vegetarian options available.
After dinner, we’ll arrange your return to your hotel.
Please Note
Bioluminescent plankton is naturally present but its brightness varies depending on daily conditions and may not appear as brightly as in photos. Monkey sightings are common but not guaranteed. The itinerary may change slightly due to weather and tides. Depending on the tide, you may need to swim ashore at Monkey Island, so bring suitable swimwear and a waterproof bag if you plan to hike.
