Walking up early for a sunrise Tai Chi session on the deck was the perfect way to start the second day. The misty morning views over the bay were absolutely magical. After a relaxed breakfast, we visited a floating fishing village before heading back to Hanoi.

The cruise took us to some of the most remote and breathtaking places in Lang Ha Bay. One of the most impressive experiences was kayaking through hidden caves and lagoons. There, only a gentle splash of water and birdsong can be heard. We also had time to swim in the crystal clear waters of a quiet beach packed with tourists.

Spending 2D1N in Lan Ha Bay was an unforgettable experience. The bay, often often considered a quieter and less crowded alternative to Halong Bay, offered breathtaking views of limestone karsts, peaceful waters, and hidden lagoons.

As the sunset, we enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner on board while watching the sky turn shades of pink and orange. The night was peaceful, and some of us even tried our luck at squid fishing. Waking up to the misty bay in the morning was simply magical, making this trip an experience I'd love to relive.

The itinerary was well-balanced, with just the right mix odd adventure and relaxation. Kayaking through quiet lagoons and exploring caves was an absolute highlight, allowing us to get up close to the towering karst formations. We also had time for swimming in crystal-clear waters and visiting a floating fishing village to learn about the local's way of life.

As soon as we arrived on board, we were surrounded by breathtaking limestone formations and emerald-coloured waters. The ship was stylish and comfortable, with spacious cabins offering stunning views of the bay. As we sailed through hidden lagoons and untouched beaches, the peaceful atmosphere gave us the impression of a real escape.

Spending two days and one night in Lan Ha Bay with cruise was a truly unforgettable experience. Compared to Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay is quieter and less crowded, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature without the hustle of tourist crowds.
