Cycad Cruise Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights | Luxury Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise from Hanoi

DAY 01: HANOI – THIEN CANH SON CAVE – CONG DO (L,D)

The adventure begins between 08:00 – 08:30, when our driver picks you up from your hotel in Hanoi for a smooth transfer by luxury shuttle limousine to Sunworld International Harbor in Halong City. Upon arrival around 12:00, guests will have a short break to stretch and refresh before boarding the tender to reach the Cycad Cruise Halong, your elegant floating home for the next three days.

At 12:45, you are warmly welcomed on board with a refreshing welcome drink and a short safety briefing before checking into your beautifully appointed cabin. The journey officially starts with a fusion buffet lunch at 13:00, as the boat leisurely sails deep into the emerald heart of Bai Tu Long Bay, the more tranquil extension of the famous Halong Bay. Limestone towers, hidden lagoons, and peaceful waters create a dreamy backdrop for your first afternoon at sea.

At 15:00, the cruise stops at Thien Canh Son Cave, one of the most charming caverns in Bai Tu Long Bay. Located on a small island, this cave is famous for its ancient stalactites and natural formations that tell stories of millions of years of geology. Guests are encouraged to wear sport shoes and bring cameras for stunning panoramic photos.

After exploring the cave, around 15:30, enjoy kayaking through calm waters surrounded by limestone cliffs, swim in the crystal-clear sea, or relax on the sundeck with sunshine and sea breeze. By 16:30, return to the main boat for a shower and refreshments. From 17:30 to 19:00, join the Happy Hour with a canapé high-tea party on the sundeck while the sun melts behind the bay’s karsts.

Between 17:00 – 18:00, you can try the traditional Vietnamese costume “Áo cổ phục”, capturing memorable photos with the bay as your backdrop – a highlight many guests cherish.

At 19:30, a fine-dining dinner is served, featuring lobster and a selection of exquisite Vietnamese delicacies crafted by the cruise’s talented chefs. The evening continues with a mini Vietnamese music show (21:00 – 21:30), offering cultural immersion and relaxing melodies under the starry sky.

DAY 02: CONG DO – CAP LA AREA (B,L,D)

Wake up to the tranquil sound of waves for a Tai Chi session at 06:30 on the sundeck, embracing the sunrise over the bay. A light buffet breakfast follows at 07:00, featuring pastries, fruits, and beverages to start the day gently.

At 09:00, you’ll board a day cruise boat, designed for exploring deeper into the untouched parts of Bai Tu Long Bay. The smaller vessel navigates through scenic channels towards Cap La area, where hidden beaches and secluded lagoons await your discovery. Around 10:00, immerse yourself in another kayaking adventure—a chance to paddle near limestone cliffs, visit small caves, and enjoy swimming, sunbathing, or simply relaxing on natural sandy coves.

After an active morning, return to the day boat at 12:00 for a refreshing break before enjoying a local-style lunch at 12:30. The meal is simple yet delicious, focusing on fresh seafood and regional flavors.

In the early afternoon (14:00 – 15:00), the cruise continues to showcase more of Bai Tu Long’s serene landscapes before heading back to the main boat around 15:30. Spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure—relax in your cabin, sip cocktails during another Happy Hour, or capture sunset photos on deck. Dinner this evening follows the same refined style, offering both international and Vietnamese selections. The night concludes in peaceful comfort amid the bay’s calm waters.

DAY 03: CONG DO – VUNG VIENG VILLAGE – HANOI (B,L)

Begin your final morning with Tai Chi at 06:30, surrounded by the first light of dawn. A light international breakfast is served at 07:00, giving you energy for the day’s cultural encounter.

At 07:45, transfer by tender to visit Vung Vieng Fishing Village, one of Bai Tu Long’s last remaining traditional floating communities. From 08:00, enjoy a tranquil bamboo rowing boat ride rowed by local fishermen, gliding through peaceful waters and learning about the daily life, fishing techniques, and floating houses that represent the unique culture of the bay’s residents.

Return to the main cruise by 09:00, as the vessel gently sails back to the harbor via a different scenic route. Guests complete check-out procedures at 09:30 before enjoying a final à la carte lunch onboard at 10:00, a perfect farewell meal overlooking the limestone panorama.

By 11:30, the cruise arrives at Sunworld Harbor, where your driver awaits to transfer you back to Hanoi. Expect to reach your hotel around 15:00 – 15:30, marking the end of a memorable Cycad Cruise Halong Bay 3 Days 2 Nights journey —a blend of elegance, cultural depth, and nature’s tranquility.
