DAY 2: THE HALONG CATAMARAN 1 DAY TRIP
07:45 – 8:30. HOTEL PICK UP
Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in the Hanoi Old Quarter between 7:45 and 8:30 AM. We strive to make the pick-ups as timely as possible. However, due to morning traffic in the Old Quarter and multiple hotel stops, this time is approximate. Please be ready in advance to help expedite the process.
10:00 – 10:15. SHORT LAVATORY BREAK
A quick stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the restroom, or grab a snack (our driver enjoys a coffee break too!) before getting back on the road to finish the drive.
11:30 – 11:45. BOARDING THE CRUISE
The bus will arrive at Tuan Chau Harbor and reach our pier, where our welcoming staff will be waiting to greet you with a warm smile. A complimentary welcome drink will be served, followed by a quick briefing as we set off into the bay.
12:00– 13:00. LUNCH ON BOARD
Our award-winning chef will serve a selection of delightful dishes for guests to enjoy. These dishes are perfectly paired with cocktails, fine wines, and beers. The bar will be open for the entirety of the service.
*Water is served throughout the journey. Any other drinks not mentioned will incur an additional charge.
14:00 – 15:00. KAYAKING OR SITTING ON BAMBOO BOAT TO VISIT BRIGHT – DARK CAVE
We will spend one hour paddling through a grotto and into a private lagoon, surrounded by limestone cliffs. It’s a peaceful hidden gem in Halong Bay, exclusively for our group. The tour guide will tell the folklore stories of Halong Bay before paddling back to the boat.
15:15 – 15:45. FROG POND, SWIMMING – LAN HA BAY
Enjoy the trampoline or water slide, go for a swim, or simply relax on the boat in the tranquil Lan Ha Bay. You will have 1 hour to enjoy the sand between your toes. So, relax and take a few moments to reflect on the absolute beauty of this natural wonder of the world.
16:00. COOKING DEMONSTRATION
Learn the story behind one of Vietnam’s most iconic dishes. From selecting fresh ingredients to preparation, you’ll get hands-on experience making the dish. You’ll be able to make Vietnamese summer rolls in your own kitchen after this informative and fun course. Impress all your friends and family at home with your new skills!
16:30. SUNSET CEREMONY – TEA, CAKES
Complimentary Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, and small cakes to keep you satisfied until you return to Hanoi. As the sun begins to set and the sky fills with deep red, purple, and yellow, enjoy the sail back.
17:45 – 18:00. DISEMBARK- LIMOUSINE
We dock at the harbor, get back onto the limousine, and head onto the highway. A quick stop halfway, and back to Hanoi.
20:00- 20:30. HOTEL DROP
DAY 3: PERIDOT GRAND HOTEL
Enjoy your time at Peridot Hotel until check-out time.
