Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you sail Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba instead of the crowded main Ha Long pier?

Lan Ha Bay shares the exact same limestone karst geology as Ha Long Bay but receives a fraction of the day-boat traffic, allowing deeper kayaking into Dark & Bright Cave and Viet Hai village cycling.

Are Hanoi round-trip transfers included in the cruise price?

Yes — 2-way luxury D-Car limousine transfers between Hanoi Old Quarter and Hai Phong Pier are included.
