5.00Walking 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.

5.00The 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.

5.00As 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.

5.00The 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.
