3-star oriental sails cruise Halong bay

For those wishing to see the famous World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay, but want to remain flexible, perhaps due to different travel preferences within your group, then Oriental Sails 3 star Cruise for 2 or 3 days is perfect. Both cruises allow guests to choose between two different activities for one of the days, deciding if they want to focus on culture or nature. This is of course accompanied by all the usual amazing sights of Ha Long, and this cruise will leave you feeling like you got to thoroughly explore the bay and its wonders.

HALONG BAY 2 DAYS 1 NIGHT

Day 1

Ha Noi - Halong Bay (L, D)

We will pick you up at your hotel for your drive to Ha Long bay at around 8am, arriving roughly 3,5 hours later. Once on the wharf, we check in at Oriental Sails’ private waiting hall before embarking on our cruise between 12:300 and 13:00. The first few hours will be spent having lunch and enjoying the amazing views of Bai Tu Long Bay, until at 15:30 you will have two options to choose from:

Option 1: Fishing Village Visit
For those interested in some cultural discovery, take a bamboo rowboat to Vung Vieng fishing village, one of the largest of its kind in Ha Long Bay and set inside a closed lagoon surrounded by mountains, making it a site of gorgeous nature as well as cultural discovery.

Option 2: Beach and Kayaking
More active travellers may prefer to spend the day swimming at the beach and kayaking around the still waters. For this option we’ll take you to Ban Chan Beach where all of these activities and more can be participated in.
Regardless of which option you choose, you will return to the boat at 16:30 to get cleaned up and enjoy the sunset with a drink in hand. Then there will be a cooking class before we serve dinner at 19:00. You are free to partake in the various activities on-board for the remainder of the evening, such as card games, karaoke or squid fishing.

Day 2

Halong Bay - Ha Noi (B, L)

Early risers can participate in a 30 minute Tai Chi lesson on the sundeck at 6:30am as the sun rises, followed by breakfast. We then cruise towards Thien Canh Son Cave, arriving at 9am and spending about half an hour exploring this less frequently visited cave.
Once we’re finished it’s time to head back to the boat for check-out and lunch, before you’re ped off at the pier where our driver will be waiting to take you back to Hanoi, arriving back in the capital at around 16:30.
