Explore the beauty of three exotic bays on an exclusively different route that will take your far from the tourist crowds, to the untouched sea passages where there are only crystal sea water and untouched sand beaches together with inhabited islands that hide many calm and peaceful lagoons inside. DAY 1 HANOI - HALONG BAY

Private car picks up at 8.00am depart for Halong bay. 11.30 Enjoy a warm welcome aboard the Halong Violet, and sit back and drink in the spectacular vista during our passage into this magical bay.Once lunch has been served and taste buds and tummies thoroughly satisfied, we cast the anchor near a secluded beach. Take a short trek to a nearby summit to catch the panoramic view over the bay with Jasmine’s golden sails arcing elegantly against the skyline before splashing down for a swim, or recline on Jasmine’s wicker sun loungers on our expansive wooden sundeck. Later that afternoon, we visit a local fishing village where you have the opportunity to interact with some of the colorful locals who have been living fishing in the bay for generations.

At sunset, jump onto a kayak or board a bamboo row boat to explore water tunnels and discover pristine coral reef in a scenic lagoon setting. Back on board; watch the shimmering sun slipping down the sky as you sip expertly-blended cocktails as an aperitif for Halong VIolet’s extravagant evening meal.

DAY 2 HALONG BAY CRUISE

After breakfast, transfer with a small private crew to our day-trip boat to cruise to the bay’s most untouched areas. Enjoy swimming in deliciously cool, emerald water; basking on quiet beaches; and exploring tunnels and caves cut through the rock. Soak up the vibrant atmosphere as we cruise around fishing villages, or take in things at your own pace in a kayak. Lunch will be served on board by your private chef before you return to the Halong Violet for the night.

DAY 3 HALONG BAY - HANOI

Greet the new day with some Tai Chi exercises as the sun rises over the bay. Enjoy an elegant international buffet breakfast before we visit a beautiful limestone grotto to admire its many unique rock formations. Then back to the boat to form your final lasting impression of Halong Bay’s awe-inspiring beauty as we cruise back to the dock. Picked up then transferred back to your hotel in Hanoi. End the trip.
