Bai Tu Long's Ultimate Getaway on Boutique Treasure Junk Cruise

Bai Tu Long's Ultimate Getaway on Boutique Treasure Junk Cruise

The TREASURE, our traditional junk with modern facilities offers an overnight cruise with comfortable accommodation and professional service.

We will take you through an exceptional route far away from mass tourism sites. Allow yourself a time for serenity and relaxation on its spacious sundeck, join us to go on a kayak route around the quietest corners of the bay, taste our chef's delicious specialties, feel the characteristic peace of such a unique environment.

This our vision about how a cruise around Halong archipelago should be experienced and we have paid attention to every single detail so that you can just disconnect and enjoy this matchless, mystical and magic panorama while we sail among thousands of majestic limestone rocks (although if you count on enough time, we highly recommend you to experience our 2-night cruise on the Treasure for a deeper immersion!)

Itinerary

Day 1: Hanoi to Halong City. Bai Tu Long Bay cruise.

Stop At: Bai Tu Long Bay, Halong Bay 008433 Vietnam
This morning at 7:45 we will proceed to check-in at Handspan's head office (Ma May 78) and will be leaving on our shuttle bus for a 3.5-hour drive to Halong City. Upon arrival, we will board the Treasure Junk and start to cruise towards the boundaries of Halong bay while a delicious lunch with fresh seafood is served (vegetarian and kid’s menus available).

Make yourself at ease and just relax after lunch. Hundreds of emerging limestone rock formations will parade all around us for about 2 hours before our first stop. We will reach then the perfect spot, where the waters of Halong and Bai Tu Long hit and wave together. Let's get ready for a closer look to the water and explore the bay in depth paddling on our own kayak.

We’ll get back on the Treasure before sunset, when we will be able to enjoy a cocktail on board while we will sail till the anchorage area where we will spend the night offshore. The dinner will be served either inside or outside on the deck, depending on weather conditions. Overnight on board in our cosy air-conditioned cabin with en-suite bathroom.

Day 2: Bai Tu Long Bay cruise- Hanoi

Stop At: Bai Tu Long Bay, Halong Bay 008433 Vietnam
Wake up smoothly while witnessing the silence of the beautifully misty bay. From 6:30 am, coffee, tea and cakes will be served. We will be free to join a 30-minute Tai Chi session at the first light of dawn, organized by our Tai Chi master on board, so we will have the chance to energize our body, mind and soul, although if we prefer, we can simply enjoy a sunbath with a cup of coffee.

We will hop later on a bamboo boat to visit a secluded floating village surrounded by mountains. We will trace our way among numerous floating houses and small rowing boats that are used in everyday life as vehicle, itinerant shops, fishing utility and even sometimes as an overnight shelter.

We will be back on the Treasure before 9:00 am to start cruising back to the pier. From 9.30, a brunch will be served. Take a last glance at the emerging rocks, standing still as the eternal guardians of a kingdom, we are about to reach the pier.

Once in Terra Firma, we will be transferred from Halong to Hanoi, where our arrival is expected around 4:00 - 4:30 pm.

Note:
Tides and weather conditions may alter the times of meals and other activities.
In line with our responsible vision of tourism, please note that the most popular caves of the bay are not included in our program, since we do care about our heritage preservation and the way in which these visits take currently place is unfortunately not viable in the long term.
For your convenience, we recommend you to arrange smaller backpacks for the trip and leave your big luggage at Handspan's safety storage.
