Daily itinerary
Times are approximate and may shift slightly with weather, tide, and group pace. The order of activities stays the same.
- 08:00 – 08:30
Pickup from your accommodation
Our guide and shuttle pick you up from your hotel or homestay in Cat Ba Town and drive you to the pier. The transfer is short — about 10 minutes — and gives you time to meet your guide before boarding.
- 08:30
Boarding & welcome
Step onto the luxury cruise and settle in. As we cast off into Lan Ha Bay, you'll sail past iconic limestone islets — Pen Islet, Turtle Islet, Tay Keo Islet — that look almost sculpted out of the water. A welcome drink and quick safety briefing while we cruise.
- 09:15
Viet Hai Ancient Village
We dock at Viet Hai pier and switch to electric cars for a 5km ride through the Cat Ba National Park jungle to the village. You can wander the village center, learn about island life from the locals, or try the unusual fish massage in the freshwater stream.
- 11:30
Lunch onboard
Back on the cruise, lunch is served in the air-conditioned dining room — fresh seafood and traditional Vietnamese specialties prepared by our onboard chef. Eat with floor-to-ceiling views of Lan Ha Bay's emerald water.
- 13:00
Kayaking hidden lagoons
We anchor in a sheltered area and break out the kayaks. Paddle through hidden lagoons and around towering limestone cliffs — quiet, slow, no tour-boat crowds. Two-person sit-on-top kayaks, life jackets, and dry-bags provided.
- 13:45
Swimming in the bay
Cool off straight off the deck or swim out into the bay. Towels and life jackets are always available. Prefer to stay dry? The sundeck has a four-season jacuzzi and a water slide — both work just as well for a lazy afternoon.
- 14:30
Afternoon tea party
We unwind with an afternoon tea spread — fresh seasonal fruits, light snacks, and tropical juices — served on deck while we cruise back. Music, conversation, golden afternoon light off the water.
- 15:00
Return to pier & drop-off
The cruise docks back at the pier, and our shuttle takes you back to your accommodation in Cat Ba Town. Tour ends at your door.
