L'amour Private Junk: 3 Days, 2 Nights in Bai Tu Long Bay

Your journey commences with a pickup from your central Hanoi hotel between 08:00 and 08:30, or you may arrive independently at the Indochina Junk Office around 11:30. An electric car will then transfer you to the cruise port for boarding. Once on board the L'amour Private Junk, you will be greeted with a refreshing welcome drink and receive an essential cruise briefing from the staff, followed by check-in to your private cabin.

A delicious lunch awaits as the vessel begins its scenic voyage into the stunning Bai Tu Long Bay. The afternoon's exploration leads to the Cap La region, a beautiful area known for its pristine natural environment and dramatic rock islands. Here, guests can enjoy an invigorating kayaking session, paddling through the calm waters and admiring the unique geological formations.

After returning to the junk, take some time to unwind and enjoy the sunset from the comfort of the deck. As evening approaches, a sumptuous dinner prepared by the onboard chef will be served in the ship's restaurant. The night offers various leisure options, including relaxing at the bar, enjoying a spa treatment, trying your hand at squid fishing, watching a movie in your cabin, or simply stargazing from the sundeck.

Begin your second day with a refreshing cup of tea or coffee, followed by a hearty breakfast, all enjoyed amidst the fresh bay air. This morning's adventure takes you to Thien Canh Son Cave, considered one of Bai Tu Long Bay's most magnificent natural caves, where you can marvel at thousands of years of stalactite and stalagmite formations.

Following the cave exploration, you'll have another opportunity for kayaking, allowing you to discover the serene beauty around Hon Co island. For lunch, prepare for a memorable barbecue experience on the pristine white sands of Cong Dam beach. This idyllic setting provides a perfect opportunity to enjoy delicious food and engage in some relaxing beach activities, truly refreshing your spirit.

The afternoon and evening are dedicated to both relaxation and cultural engagement. Upon returning to the junk, immerse yourself in a Vietnamese cuisine cooking class, learning the secrets of local culinary artistry. Dinner will be a highlight, featuring expertly crafted dishes in the dining area. The evening offers continued relaxation with options like squid fishing, enjoying the gentle breeze on the sundeck, or simply unwinding in the tranquility of your private cabin.

Start your final day with a light breakfast, including coffee and tea, served in the dining room, preparing you for the morning's activities. Your first stop is the charming Vung Vieng fishing village, a small, secluded community offering picturesque views and a glimpse into the traditional lives of local fishermen. You'll be taken on a bamboo boat by local residents, providing an authentic experience of their unique way of life.

After exploring the fishing village, you'll return to the cruise ship to begin the check-out process, typically between 9:45 and 10:00, while the L'amour Private Junk leisurely cruises back towards Cap La and then the main port. A final set menu lunch will be served onboard as you enjoy the last panoramic views of the bay.

For guests who have booked the Indochina Junk transfer service, an optional excursion awaits. A shuttle bus will transport you from Halong Cruise Port to Yen Duc Village, where you can experience a traditional water puppet show performed by local artists, offering a deeper insight into Vietnamese cultural arts. Following the show, the bus will return to Hanoi, aiming for arrival at your hotel around 16:00.
