7h45 - 8h00: Pick up at the hotel in the center of Cat Ba town
8h20: Arrive at Cai Beo port, check-in onboard
8h30: The first famous spot that the cruise takes you to visit is the Cai Beo floating fishing village. This is the floating fishing village with the largest scale and age in Vietnam at present. You will see, firsthand, the daily life and work of the people here full of fun, hardship, wind and storm.
9h30: We take you to Viet Hai fishing village - a small village hidden in Cat Ba national park. Surely, you will not be surprised at a natural scenery woven in harmony between the majesty of mountains, the poetic beauty of small streams, the tranquility of fields and the familiar warmth of old houses. Stop at a small stream at the end of the village and enjoy a peaceful moment by dropping your feet under the water of the cool stream. The small fish will help you massage your feet and legs. Our guide will give you a brief introduction about the life and culture of indigenous people. Before leaving the village, remember to enjoy a small cup of rice wine - the specialty of this place.
11h30: Goodbye to Viet Hai village, and an electric shuttle will take you back to Lan Ha bay cruise to enjoy lunch with local specialties. During the meal, the boat will be parked in a quiet place surrounded by limestone mountains and emerald green water.
12h30: Lan Ha bay Cruise will move to Dark and Bright cave located near Ha Long Bay. Then, along with your guide, you will do kayaking through the narrow gaps and caves formed by limestone mountains. This is where the famous movie 'King Kong' was filmed. If you're lucky, you'll meet the members of the ‘Cat Ba Langurs’ family. This rare and endangered Vooc species is one of the symbols of the Cat Ba Archipelago with a white and yellow hair on the head.
14h30: The cruise takes you to Ba Trai Dao beach. This area is known for its pristine small beaches and breathtaking beauty. Immerse yourself in the clear waters of Lan Ha Bay to swim and dive to see the coral, ensuring you will have a great experience! Depending on the tide, the yacht will park at beautiful and quiet beaches.
15h30: Return to the boat to prepare for the best moment of the day - sunset in Lan Ha bay. Enjoy a glass of wine with some fresh fruit (already included in the tour) while watching the end of the day sun cover the ships and the mountains with a simple, but gorgeous, red-yellow shirt! Try a cup of cooktail after swimming for warm up the body & view sunset

Dear Alex Tran, Now we are safely back to Västerås in Sweden and I have started to work again. We have had -20 deg C the last week so we miss the temperatures in Hanoi. Our memory from your fantastic country is still fresh in our minds and I am writing the diary on my computer. Your actions made our travel and stay in Vietnam safe and easy. I will always remember you as my dear friend and a very nice person...
