Spend two days aboard a traditional-styled wooden cruise through Lan Ha and Halong bays—kayak sheltered lagoons, raft through a water cave, learn to roll spring rolls and watch sunrise Tai Chi. Practical, relaxed and rich with limestone scenery.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Boarding at Tuan Chau Marina, the cruise slips into a gray-gold morning and a lattice of limestone karsts rises like an audience around the ship. The wooden decks creak with old-craft warmth; teak and lacquered panels frame balcony views where emerald water pushes at the hull and small islets dare you to explore them.
