Glide through UNESCO-listed Halong Bay aboard a private wooden junk past 1,600+ limestone karsts, paddle into hidden grottos, and tour a working pearl farm — one of the world's great seascapes, entirely at your own pace.
What to expect
Your private junk departs Halong Bay harbour just minutes from Cai Lan Port, weaving between iconic limestone pillars including Fighting Cock and Stone Dog islets. A dedicated guide narrates the geology and folklore of each formation as you glide past. You'll kayak into a cathedral-ceilinged sea cave, swim in an emerald lagoon, and visit a pearl cultivation farm to see how Halong's famous gems are harvested. A freshly prepared seafood lunch is served on deck with panoramic bay views as the finale.
Good to know
Transfer from Cai Lan Port to Halong Bay harbour is included both ways (approx. 20 min). The full experience runs ~5 hours — confirm your ship's all-aboard time and book departure accordingly. Pre-book directly to lock the private vessel; group size determines per-person cost. Bring sun protection and a dry bag for kayaking.
