Overview

Unlike other tours departing later in the afternoon, this experience starts at 2:30 PM, giving you more time to fully enjoy the beauty of Lan Ha Bay. You’ll have the unique opportunity to kayak twice — once in the peaceful afternoon light and again at night, when bioluminescent plankton illuminate the water around your paddle.

This thoughtfully timed itinerary allows you to admire the bay’s breathtaking scenery in both daylight and twilight, capture a stunning sunset, and immerse yourself in the rare magic of night kayaking. Combined with swimming, a visit to Cai Beo Floating Village, and a delicious onboard dinner, this tour offers an unparalleled balance of adventure, relaxation, and natural wonder — all in one unforgettable half-day experience.
