Day 1 : Hanoi - Ha Long City

This morning sees us depart the capital city of Hanoi for Ha Long City, about four hours drive away. Upon arrival, we then transfer to a private boat for a cruise around Ha Long Bay with a delicious local seafood lunch served on board. Our destination today is Cat Ba Island where we spend our first night in a guesthouse or camp on Ba Cat beach (weather permitting).

Day 2 : Ha Long Bay

Today we have a full day kayaking, in the World Heritage listed Ha Long Bay. Firstly we will paddle to our campsite on the deserted Nam Cat beach around one to two hours away. Then we will set off to explore some of the magnificent caves and lagoons in the area. Around four p.m. we will arrive back to Nam Cat beach and set up camp for the night (weather permitting). Or overnight on boat.

Day 3 : Cat Ba Island - Hai Phong - Hanoi

Following breakfast this morning, we break camp, load our camping equipment onto the support vessel, and kayak back to Cat Ba island for lunch and a little time to explore the island. Late this afternoon we board a hydrofoil for a one-hour cruise to the port city of Hai Phong. It is here that we meet with our vehicle for the two-hour drive back to Hanoi.
