Overview
Set out on a 3-day adventure that combines the natural beauty and cultural charm of northern Vietnam. Begin in Ninh Binh, a land often referred to as the “Halong Bay on land,” where dramatic limestone karsts rise above emerald-green rice fields. Explore the province’s remarkable landscapes and historical sites, then unwind with an overnight stay at a peaceful eco-lodge surrounded by nature. The next morning, travel by shuttle bus to Tuan Chau Island, the gateway to Halong Bay. Here, step aboard a luxury cruise and set sail across the bay’s emerald waters, weaving through thousands of towering limestone islands and hidden caves. As the day comes to a close, enjoy fine dining, relaxing moments on deck, and the unforgettable experience of spending the night on board a luxury boat, gently rocked to sleep by the calm waters of Halong Bay.
