07:45 – 8:30. PICK UP IN HANOI
The tour guide will pick you up at hotels in Hanoi’s Old Quarter (or Hanoi Opera House), please be at the hotel lobby before the appointed time.
We try to pick you up as promptly as possible, but with morning traffic in the Old Quarter and having to pick up guests from many hotels, this time is an estimate. Please be at the hotel lobby before appointed time.

10:00 – 10:15. STOP TO REST ON THE WAY
You can relax, have a snack at the rest stop in case you haven’t had time to eat breakfast (our driver also needs a cup of coffee), use the public restroom before getting on the bus to continue the journey!

14:00 – 14:45. KAYAKING OR SITTING ON BAMBOO BOAT TO VISIT BRIGHT – DARK CAVE
We will spend a 1-hour round trip paddling through a little grotto and into our private lagoon, surrounded by rock walls in all directions. It’s a peaceful little corner of Lan Ha Bay all to ourselves. The tour guide will tell the folklore of Lan Ha Bay before paddling back to the boat.

16:30. SUNSET CEREMONY – TEA, CAKES
Complimentary Vietnamese teas, fresh fruit, and little cakes to keep you satisfied until you return to Hanoi. While the sunset starts to drop and the sky fills with deep red, purple, and yellow, enjoy the return sail back.

17:45 – 18:00. THE BOAT ARRIVES AT THE DOCK, ENDS THE SCHEDULE AND GETS ON THE BUS BACK TO HANOI
You will dock at Tuan Chau port, then board the bus and return to Hanoi by highway. On the way back, we will have a few minutes to rest at the stop on the way back to Hanoi.
