Indochina Sails

Want the full Ha Long Bay experience without the fuss? This 2-day, 1-night cruise with Indochina Sails gives you all the good stuff: iconic views, peaceful overnight vibes, and a proper Vietnamese welcome without going overboard (pun intended).

This isn’t a flashy resort boat. It’s traditional, warm, and timeless – perfect if you're after something relaxed and scenic with just the right amount of activity.

You’ll board at Tuần Châu Port, get a cold welcome drink in hand, and settle in as the boat starts gliding through the limestone pillars that make Ha Long famous.

Lunch is served shortly after – Vietnamese classics and international favourites – as you cruise past spots like Incense Burner and Kissing Rocks.

By mid-afternoon, it’s time for a bit of adventure: choose between exploring Surprise Cave or Me Cung Cave – both are dramatic and full of local legend.

As the sun dips lower, you’ll anchor in a quiet spot. Time to relax: try your hand at fruit and vegetable carving with the chef, have a go at squid fishing with help from the crew, or keep it chill with board games and cocktails under the stars.

Dinner’s served at 7:30 PM, followed by your choice of low-key entertainment or moonlit lounging on deck.

Rise early for a Tai Chi session on the sundeck – don’t worry, it’s gentle – then enjoy a light breakfast and coffee as the bay wakes up.

Next stop: Titov Island – swim at the base or hike up for a panoramic view. Then it’s time to brunch and cruise slowly back to Tuần Châu.

Back on land by 11:00 AM, refreshed, relaxed, and with your camera roll full.
