Arcardy Day Cruise

08:15–08:45 – Hotel Pick-up

Our English-speaking tour guide will collect guests from various hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter, aiming for a pick-up between 08:15 AM – 09:00 AM. While we strive for punctuality, morning traffic in the Old Quarter and multiple hotel pickups may affect this timing. Please be prepared to assist in expediting this process.

10:30-10:45 – Brief Lavatory Break

Take a brief rest stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack in case you missed breakfast. Our driver will also appreciate a coffee break before we resume our journey.

11:45-12:00 – Boarding The Cruise

The bus will arrive at Tuan Chau Marina, reaching our pier, where our welcoming staff will eagerly await your arrival with a warm smile.

12:00-13:30 – Lunch On Board

The cruise departs from Tuan Chau harbor for an enchanting journey to explore the beauty of the world heritage Ha Long Bay. Along the way, witness the grandeur of the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands, including notable landmarks like Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and the remarkable Thumb Rock – a limestone islet rising from the sea in the shape of a giant thumb. Mother Nature has placed Thumb Rock here, sending a message of goodwill to every passenger sailing in this ancient bay.

Indulge in a lavish buffet lunch with a variety of dishes, including seafood and Vietnamese cuisine.

13:30-14:30 

Stop at Bo Hon Island. Our tour guide will lead you to Sung Sot Cave/Surprising Cave, the largest and most beautiful cave in Halong Bay. After ascending about 200 steps under a forest canopy, the cave's entrance comes into view. A paradise unfolds before you as you explore the cave for about 45 minutes before returning to the cruise. For those who prefer not to walk much, you can stay on the cruise, relaxing on the sundeck.

14:30-15:30 – Kayaking

The cruise heads to Luon Cave. In this area, warm up with kayaking (about 30 minutes of kayaking) or enjoy the stunning scenery at Hang Luon (Creepy Cave) with a Rowboat, rowed by local people in Ha Long Bay.

15:30-16:30 – Titop Island – Titop Beach – Titop Mountain

Stop at Titop Island. On this small island, climb halfway up the mountain to enjoy a panoramic view of Ha Long Bay. The elevated perspective offers a wonderful sensation and a spectacular view of every corner of the bay.

17:00 – Sunset Party – Tea, Cakes, Wine, Juice, Fruits

Complimentary: Wine, Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, juice, and small cakes to keep you satisfied until your return to Hanoi. As the sunset paints the sky with deep reds, purples, and yellows, savor the return sail back.

17:30 – Disembark – Bus

Dock at the harbor, board the buses, and cruise down the high-speed highway. 

20:00-20:30 – Hotel Drop
