Glide through the emerald karst towers of Ha Long Bay aboard a private traditional junk. Kayak into hidden grottoes, swim in secluded lagoons, and feast on freshly caught seafood — a UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece experienced at its most intimate.
What to expect
Step aboard a lacquered, lantern-lit traditional junk and watch Ha Long Bay's 1,600 limestone islands rise dramatically from jade-green water. Your private guide paddles you by kayak through the Low Cave and into Ba Hang lagoon, accessible only at low tide. Back on deck, a chef plates steamed crab, grilled squid, and fresh spring rolls as the karst scenery drifts past. Sunset cocktails on the bow as the bay turns gold make this a once-in-a-lifetime afternoon.
Good to know
Ha Long Bay is approximately 3.5–4 hrs by road from Cai Lan/Hon Gai port (Sadek area); arrange a private transfer in advance. Full-day tours depart by 7 am — confirm all-aboard time and allow buffer. Pre-book the junk and private kayak guide directly via Indochina Junk's website.
