Jade Sails Luxury Day Cruise

07:00 Pick up at your hotel

An exciting day starts as we pick you up from your hotel stay in Hanoi Old Quarter. 

It will take us 2.5 hours to get to Halong City, so get comfortable while enjoying the scenic view on our expressway.

09:30 Welcome onboard

Arriving at Tuan Chau Marina, we welcome our guests onboard. Please enjoy your refreshing welcome drink while the cruise manager goes through safety instructions. 

After everyone has checked in and settled down, we will start cruising. Jade Sails will take you on an 8-hour odyssey exploring Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, discovering many hidden splendors of nature.

11:00 Buffet lunch on the boat

At noon, lunch is served in our two luxury dining rooms. We will do it buffet style: Vietnamese food, Western food, and, of course, seafood! 

Enjoy the freshest, most delectable dishes prepared by our experienced chefs while admiring the spectacular seascape outside your window—it’s an experience like no other!

13:30 Explore magical caves and hidden lagoons by local rowing boat

It’s about time we embark on an exciting journey: visiting the caves and hidden lagoons. 

Our stop for the afternoon is Dark and Light Cave, a nearly 100-meter-long cave pierced through the mountains. Immerse yourself in nature while the boat gently glides forward through these magical rock formations.

15:00 Kayaking and swimming in quiet areas in Lan Ha Bay

As the journey continues, we now park in the quiet areas of Lan Ha Bay, a water paradise in Vietnam. The region is known for its spectacular beauty, consisting of about 400 islands lying sparsely in the emerald-green bay. 

You can try kayaking or swimming in the cool water and exploring this wonderful bay.

16:00 Vietnamese cooking class

It’s time to head back on the cruise to join in our short cooking demonstration, where our experienced chef will guide you through the making of spring rolls, a delightful delicacy of traditional Vietnamese cuisine.

16:30 Sunset party onboard while the cruise heads back to Tuan Chau Port

Gather on the sundeck for the lively sunset party, where we will watch the magnificent sunset view over Halong Bay. 

This is the perfect opportunity to make new friends and share your traveling experience, or simply relax in the big Jacuzzi located in front of the cruise while admiring the bay’s spectacular panorama.

17:45 Disembark for a comfortable limousine ride back to Hanoi via the new expressway.

19:30 Drop off at your hotel doorsteps. Thank you for joining us on such an adventure!
