Luxury Lan Ha Bay Day Cruise
About This Cruise
The northeastern corner of Vietnam encapsulates the beauty of the wider country across a wild seascape of limestone mountains. This is Lan Ha Bay, the southern route of Ha Long Bay, which offers itself as a less-touristic route through an identical paradise. Here, tall karstic rocks watch over a shimmering emerald ocean, which reflects an unbridled beauty found across forested islands, white-sand beaches, mysterious caves and vibrant fishing villages.
This luxury Lan Ha Bay day cruise, operated by Vietnam Escape Tours, takes you to this picture of heaven on our highly traditional 5-star boat. The Escape Sails is composed of two gorgeous sundecks, an elegant restaurant and a comfortable lounge, providing the perfect accompaniment to the sweeping splendour on display outside.
With the benefits of a 2-hour transfer and an 8-hour cruising time around a beautifully tranquil area, you will find Lan Ha Bay to be an unbelievably attractive alternative to Ha Long Bay and one capable of forging long-lasting memories of stunning Vietnam.
