Description

Discover the natural and cultural highlights of Lan Ha Bay on this full-day luxury cruise from Cat Ba Town. After hotel pickup, board your cruise and begin the journey by sailing through Cai Beo Floating Village, one of the oldest floating fishing villages in Vietnam, dating back over 7,000 years. As the boat gently cruises past floating houses and fish farms, you’ll gain insight into the traditional life of local fishermen who have lived on the water for generations. This cultural highlight is a favorite among travelers. Leaving Cai Beo behind, the cruise continues into the spectacular seascape of Lan Ha Bay, famous for its emerald waters and dramatic limestone karsts. Along the way, admire unique rock formations such as Turtle Islet, Chopstick Islet, Frog Islets, and Tay Keo Islet. Next, transfer to Viet Hai Village, a peaceful ancient village hidden deep inside Cat Ba National Park. Enjoy a scenic bicycle ride through rice paddies, forest trails, and quiet village paths while learning about the simple rural lifestyle of local residents. Return to the cruise for a freshly prepared Vietnamese lunch featuring local seafood and traditional dishes, served while cruising through breathtaking scenery. In the afternoon, relax and swim at Ba Trai Dao Beach, known for its crystal-clear water and beautiful sandy shore. Guests can also enjoy onboard facilities including the water slide and jacuzzi for extra relaxation. Continue the adventure with kayaking at Tay Keo or Van Boi area, paddling through peaceful lagoons surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and untouched nature. As the day comes to an end, unwind at a sunset party on the sundeck with complimentary tea, fresh fruits, and snacks while watching the sun set over the bay — a perfect closing moment to an unforgettable journey. The cruise then returns to the pier, followed by transfer back to your hotel in Cat Ba Town.
