Trip Code: HQL

DAY 1 — Hanoi - Quan Lan Island
Travel through the fertile countryside of the Red River Delta enroute to Halong City. Enjoy the emerald waters and stunning scenery as you cruise through the limestone peaks that make this a World Heritage site. Explore one of the limestone caves or if weather permits enjoy a refreshing swim. Continue cruising to your overnight mooring where you can simply sit back and enjoy a meal and the company of your travel companions. There is an option of kayaking before dining.

DAY 2 — Halong Bay / Qan Lan Island
Very early this morning (6am) the boat will set off for Quan Lan Island. Breakfast can be taken at leisure before the expected arrival time of 10:30am at Quan Lan. On arriving at the harbour, your guide will organise a local ‘xe lam’ (Vietnamese tuk tuk) for a guided tour of Quan Lan. Weather permitting you may wish to swim in the clear waters and sunbathe on the white sandy beaches before boarding the boat.

DAY 3 — Halong Bay - Hanoi
After an early breakfast, you have the opportunity to go kayaking in the tranquil waters of Halong before the boat cruises back to the harbour. You will meet your driver for the return trip back to Hanoi.



PRIVATE BOAT OPTION
