We offer the
highest-quality tours of Halong from 2 to 5 days in length. The
three-day tour is a nice compliment to our cycling tours or as a
short side-trip from Hanoi.
Seafood cuisine and long-distance transport are on one of our
"mother ships" - cruising boats equipped with comfortable, private
cabins and lavatories with spacious top deck and dining room. Small
groups on our 8 or 3-cabin boats are served by a crew of 5 including
a talented chef and lead by a internationally-licensed kayaking
guide with minimum of 5 years on the bay. Meals are abundant and
delicious, highlighting local seafood cooked up fresh. Vegetarians
can also be accommodated. Private tours may alter the itinerary to
their desires, although our shared boat will have plenty of options
for swimming, hiking, exploration of floating villages and other
activities aside form kayaking.
Note: If quality (or privacy) is not an issue, there are many
backpacker cafes in Hanoi who offer budget, group kayak tours to
Halong Bay. Contact us
for a referral to one

F.A.Qs on Kayaking in Halong Bay
I'm a an experienced/inexperienced paddler, is this trip
appropriate?
Halong Bay is great for beginners, the hundreds of limestone peaks
forming a calming barrier to the churning South China Sea. Our
guides provide and introduction to paddling and safety skills before
we are on the water. A small group size also means more quality time
with your guide who will help you improve your skills. There are
also numerous beach coves to haul your kayak up onto and relax. For
advanced paddlers we have imported Seaward and Phoenix kayaks, miles
of open water, caves and winding routes to keep you busy.
What are the boats like?
Well, it's not the Cote d'Azur. Travel to Halong Bay was only
recently permitted by administrative authority and there are still
many off-limits areas. Tourism is new to the bay,
government-controlled, and the boats do not compare to the sleek
fiberglass yachts you'll find elsewhere, even in nearby Thailand
where private operators can import such boats which is not yet
permitted in Vietnam. Although, our wooden boats are newly built and
made specific for overnight on the bay. Dragon Pearl, Red Dragon,
Paradise are currently the nicest boats on the bay.
Quality?
In an environment where there is an extreme variance in quality, we
operate the best trips on the bay. We lease the finest boats on the
bay , maintain a small group size, hire licensed experienced guides
with imported kayaks, not inflatable or hard plastic kayaks. Our
onboard chef also prepares delicious, local and seafood dishes that
we specify.
What is the weather like?
It varies by time of year. Please see our weather page. However, it
is never really too cold to kayak the bay and the water stays a
comfortable temperature.
What is the schedule?
Have a look at our three-day itinerary. This
is a rough guide — if you on are a private tour or in a small group
we can modify the itinerary to you desires. Departure from your
hotel in Hanoi is typically between 8 and 9:00 AM and returning the
third day by dinner. On the bay, we typically kayak mornings, break
for lunch and then kayak until dusk followed by dinner featuring
freshly caught seafood. However, you are always free to explore the
beaches, islands or stay onboard to relax.
What is provided and what do I need to bring with me?
We provide all kayaking, safety, camping and dining equipment.
Please read our packing list for recommended itms to bring.
How many people are on your trips?
All of our trips have a maximum of ten travelers, but there are
often less.
What type of people are on your trips?
Our groups are a mix of people from around the world, usually
friends, families and couples. We frequently have honeymooners and
our trips are also available for private bookings..
How do I register for a trip?
Check availability on our calendar, then send our simple
registration information.

just going for the day – don’t!! An over night trip is a must!!!
