Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Hanoi - Halong Bay (Lunch)

08:00-08:45: Get picked up at the hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter/Opera House to depart for Halong Bay.

Our journey follows the Hanoi – Haiphong – Tuan Chau Highway (approximately a 3-hour drive).

On the way, we will stop for a short break of 30 minutes to relax.

12:00: Arrive at Tuan Chau Harbor and board our cruise with a warm welcome from the crew.

Enjoy a welcome drink and then start the excursion to discover the beauty of this world heritage site.

12:30: Enjoy a Vietnamese lunch on the boat (buffet lunch on the luxury cruise; set menu lunch on the deluxe cruise).

While having lunch, the boat will pass by beautiful scenery on both sides, featuring thousands of limestone formations.

14:00: Arrive at Bo Hon Island and visit Sung Sot Cave, the most beautiful cave with numerous stalagmites and stalactites.

14:45: Go kayaking or take a bamboo boat through Luon Cave (Luon Lagoon) to explore the stunning lagoon.

15:15: Visit Titop Island, where you can swim on the sandy beach or trek to the top of the island for panoramic views of Halong Bay.

16:30: Return to the boat for a sunset party (with wine, tea, fruits, and biscuits) while cruising back to the harbor.

18:00-18:15: Arrive back at the harbor. Board the bus and return to Hanoi.

11h45: Have a buffet lunch in the restaurant with a lot of local foods such as goat meat, fish, chicken, fried rice…. Vegetarian foods are always available in the buffet lunch.

13h00: Visit Trang An which was recognized by UNESCO as A World Heritage Site in 2014. Trang An has a wonderful tunnel cave system so Kong’s Movie Group chose this place for the New Version of Kong in 2016 – “Skull Island”. With 2 hours for the boat trip, you will be persuaded by the beauty here.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience planning our trip with Kamaha Vacation (Read More)s, especially travelling with my parents. From the very beginning, Ayush and the team were incredibly helpful and made the entire journey completely stress-free. From assistance with immigration and travel arrangements to planning the itinerary, everything was exceptionally well organised. Our stays in Sapa and Hanoi were fantastic, and the entire trip was thoughtfully planned with great attention to detail. What really stood out was the support throughout the trip. The team was always there when we needed them, checked in with us regularly, and made sure everything was going smoothly without ever being intrusive. A huge thank you to Ayush and the entire Kamaha Vacations team for making our trip so comfortable, memorable, and hassle-free. I genuinely can’t recommend them enough and would definitely book with them again for our future travels!

I have booked a Vietnam trip with Easygo Travel for three people. It was a five (Read More)nights six days trip. Easygo travels took care of everything from flight booking, stay in Vietnam and all local transfers in Vietnam on a private basis. Everything went so smooth and in a clock-work precision and we had to worry about nothing during the trip. Their partner travel agent in Vietnam has done a great job. They sent cabs well within time whenever there was a transfer, booked all tickets in advance and arranged food during sightseeings in good local restaurants. The overall experience was very good and I recommend Easygo Travel for anybody visiting Vietnam from India.
I cant find any department whtich could have been better. Everything was worth t (Read More)he money we have spent.
