Ha Long & Lan Ha Bay, Red River Delta

Cruise the Lan Ha bay on private traditional junk

Located to the south of Halong Bay and to the east of Cat Ba Island, Lan Ha Bay is recognizable by its unique floating houses. Despite being less famous than Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay boasts similarly stunning scenery, with numerous limestone peaks rising from the sea and secluded beaches. It is highly recommended for those seeking to avoid the crowds of tourists that flock to Halong Bay.

During your journey, you will have the opportunity to explore Lan Ha Bay in a truly unique manner aboard a traditional wooden junk, a vessel deeply rooted in the local culture and modeled after the renowned ancient vessel of Ha Long, Buom Manh. The cruise is designed to provide a peaceful experience, allowing you to discover the most picturesque corners of Lan Ha Bay, away from the typical tourist groups.
