Lan Ha Bay Boutique Overnight Cruise: Kayak, Bike & Private Balcony

Escape the crowds entirely on an overnight boutique cruise through Lan Ha Bay — Ha Long's quieter, equally stunning sister. Kayak secluded lagoons at dawn, bike Cat Ba Island, and fall asleep to absolute silence on your private balcony.

What to expect

Check in at the marina and sail south into Lan Ha Bay's 400+ karst islands, passing through narrow limestone corridors that open into mirrored lagoons. Afternoons are spent kayaking into hidden caves or cycling the jungle trails of Cat Ba Island. Evenings bring a candlelit seafood feast on deck under a sky full of stars. Wake to mist rising off the water and practise tai chi on the sun deck before breakfast.

Good to know

Best suited to ships with an overnight Ha Long Bay port call. Transfers from Ha Long International Cruise Port to Tuan Chau Marina are straightforward by taxi (~15 min). Pre-book well in advance — this size vessel sells out months ahead. Confirm your ship's all-aboard for the second day.
