Hanoi/ Ninh Binh – Lan Ha Bay - Dark & Light Cave - Ba Trai Dao Area – Bioluminescent Night Kayak (L, D)

Bến Beo Cat Ba - 11:15 Arrive at Ben Beo Pier, where the tour guide will provide entrance tickets for Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay (included in the tour price).

Cai Beo Floating Village - 11:20 | Board the boat and embark on a cruise through the breathtaking Lan Ha Bay. As the journey begins, be captivated by the magnificent limestone formations emerging from the emerald waters. Pass by Cai Beo Fishing Village—one of the oldest and most traditional floating villages in northern Vietnam—and continue sailing among thousands of uniquely shaped karst towers (resembling chopsticks, seals, and more).

Lan Ha Bay - 12:00 | Savor a freshly prepared Vietnamese lunch onboard, lovingly cooked by the local crew (vegetarian options available). Dine while enjoying the stunning scenery of Halong Bay.

Dark & Light Cave - 14:30 | Explore the pristine lagoon area of Lan Ha Bay by kayak. Paddle through the Dark and Bright Caves, natural tunnels, and majestic archways. This area is both stunning and ecologically protected. With luck, you may even spot the rare Cat Ba Langur (golden-headed monkey).

Ba Trai Dao - 16:30 | Stop at Ba Trai Dao Beach for swimming and jumping from the boat. This beach is remote, quiet, and less touristy—ideal for discovering temple beaches, hidden lagoons, and scenic rock arches.

Cai Beo Floating Village - 17:00 | Visit a local floating fish farm to learn how fishermen live and work on the water. Participate in a hands-on cooking class onboard, where you’ll learn to prepare traditional Vietnamese dishes. Dinner will be served on the boat.

Lan Ha Bay - 19:30 | As the sun sets, experience the magic of bioluminescent plankton. Join the guide for a special kayaking session in areas glowing with natural light. You may also swim under the stars and watch your silhouette sparkle in the dark water.
