10 Days Explore Highlight of North & Centre Vietnam Package Tour

Halong Bay, Vietnam’s "Bay of Descending Dragons", is endowed with nearly 2000 stunning limestone islands and islets that come in all shapes and sizes, and various grottoes or lagoons. It catapulted to global fame following its recognition as a UNESCO natural world heritage in 1994. This must-see destination is so attractive that spending at least one night here might become one of your wonderful memories.
Leaving the bustling capital city behind, you are now escorted to Halong bay, one of the world heritage sites. The distance is roughly 200km, which is the reason why we need a mid-way rest to use the restroom and maybe refresh ourselves with a cup of coffee.

At the port, you will be transferred to the mainboat via a tender, and then cruise around the emerald green waters of Halong Bay. It seems beyond expectation to admire the beauty of vegetation-covered islets and limestone cliffs in this glamorous bay and enjoy a delicious lunch on the sundeck at the same time.
In the afternoon, you are provided with many off-boat outdoor activities namely caving, swimming, and kayaking which are totally optional because they can be replaced with just the relaxation on the boat or whatever you favor. Back to the cruise, there will be plenty of time for you to shower, enjoy snacks, take some drinks, or just chill out to view the sunset. At night, our Chef is supposed to show up to do a cooking demonstration of one of the most popular Vietnamese cuisines, before serving you a sumptuous dinner.
