Morning fog lifts off the Gulf of Tonkin as La Pinta slides away from Tuan Chau harbor, the limestone karsts rising like islands daring the sea to hold its breath.

This is a 2-day/1-night cruise departing from Hanoi with hotel pickup, onboard accommodation, meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner as listed), kayaking, cave visits, tai chi, and some activities such as squid fishing—check the operator for final inclusions.
No formal experience is required; guided kayaking is provided and routes are chosen for a mix of calm lagoons and short paddles—basic fitness helps.
