A minivan arrives at your Hanoi hotel to pick you up in the morning and transfer you to Halong Bay, and get the harbour after 4hours. You're welcome on board and show you to your cabin. Once you have settled in, receive a briefing about the ship, and feast on a freshly prepared seafood lunch as your captain cruises to Bai Tu Long Bay, a neighbouring bay home to more of Halong Bay's famous rock formations but with fewer crowds.  Next, stop near Cap La fishing village, for taking an easy kayak trip over to the village, paddle around the village for a little while, and then return to the junk to continue to Cong Do island. Admire the tropical scenery of this large forested island, where lagoons shelter various species of shrimp, crab, fish and squid, as well as a large coral reef. Spend the rest of the day at your leisure on the junk, with free time to swim, sunbathe, kayak and watch the sunset from the deck before the crew serves dinner.
