Lan Ha Bay Cruises

Why Should You Cruise  Lan Ha Bay?

Lan Ha Bay

Lan Ha Bay is located south of Ha Long Bay. Although it is still not as famous internationally as Ha Long Bay, it still possesses extremely spectacular scenery. 

Lan Ha Bay includes more than 400 islands and dozens of picture-perfect white sand beaches. This bay is also further from the mainland compared to Ha Long Bay, so you'll find fewer boats and crowds, providing a quieter travel experience. 

As you relax on your sundeck, you'll be able to see the majestic limestone cliffs instead of countless other boats blocking your view.

What Is the Best Time to Visit  Lan Ha Bay?

The best time to visit Lan Ha Bay is from October through April; after the heat and humidity of the summer, the cooler temperatures.

In the summer months, between April and September, the weather should be wetter and warmer. There is a high chance of rain during your Lan Ha Bay trip. 

Yet, the warm temperatures will make lounging on the boat deck at night and swimming in the bay more enjoyable. 

In the winter months, from October to March, the weather is drier and cooler. There is little chance of encountering wet weather, but the water is often too cold for swimming. 

Cycling and hiking on Cat Ba Island would be more enjoyable in the cool weather. But as nights will be surprisingly cold, you should carry a light jack if you visit this bay in the winter.

How to get to Lan Ha Bay?

Lan Ha Bay Cruise will depart from two main ports, which are about 2 to 2.5 hours from Hanoi:

• Tuan Chau Marina (or Ben Tuan Chau in Vietnamese): It is located north of Dao Tuan Chau island, where many Halong Bay cruises depart from.

• Got Pier (or Ben Got in Vietnamese) is located on Cat Hai island, the same harbor where other tourists can catch the ferry to Cat Ba island.

The easiest way to move from Hanoi to the cruise departure point is by following the schedule of your cruise company.

Almost all cruises deliver transfer services from Hanoi. Some include it in the cruise cost, whereas others charge it separately. The transfer service is usually $20 to 30 per visitor in each direction.

If you want a private transfer, it will be easily arranged by your hotel in Hanoi or a cruise company. Either way, you will need to spend around $80 on a one-way private transfer between Hanoi and La Ha Bay.

We recommend spending three days and two nights in Lan Ha Bay

We recommend planning to spend three days and two nights in Lan Ha Bay. Many tour companies offer trips for just two days and one night, but it's a very rushed itinerary.

Lan Ha Bay is further south than Halong Bay, meaning it will take you longer to get there. So you will spend most of your first day going south to Lan Ha Bay and most of your last day sailing north back to the mainland. You will need at least a day to feel the serenity and beauty of this bay.

In addition, you also need more time to explore the bay by kayak or hiking/biking on Cat Ba Island (depending on your itinerary's activities).

Sunbathing on the Beach and Discovering the Coral System 

It sounds peculiar to go to a bay without getting to the beach. So wear a bikini or shorts and let your fair skin be tanned under the beautiful sunlight here.

Also, dive deep into the ocean and admire how incredible and marvelous our oceanic scenes can be with the system of coral in the bay.

Kayaking

Kayaking in Lan Ha bay

Kayaking will be a great experience in Lan Ha Bay, as there are many small islands in the bay that you can't enjoy their beauty by taking a cruise. Kayaking will help to get you closer to nature to see how unique and cool it can be.

Here are several places that enable you to rent a kayak:

• Cat Ba Venture.

• Manh Nu house.

• Kayak for rent area on Monkey island with unlimited time for kayaking.

Enjoy Seafood

You can try fresh seafood, such as crab, mussels, cobia, abalone, and grouper.

Exciting Rock Climbing Activity

For adventurous people, rock climbing in the bay is one of the exciting activities not to be missed. Are you ready to conquer challenging and harsh cliffs? There are various levels and types of climbing to try, so don't worry. 

There are three favorite climbing spots on this bay, including Dau Be island (two hours of travel by boat far away from Cat Ba island), Ba Trai Dao island (22 kilometers away from the travel port), and a cliff located at Beo dock (2 kilometers away from Cat Ba center).

Budget

With a bit of thorough research, you will be unable to break the bank. If you want the cheapest option, ensure you read all the reviews, especially if you are taking an overnight cruise. 

Time

Many options are available, including a simple overnight and those that last four days and three nights. 

Those slightly longer cruises will allow you to explore more hidden areas and are great options for travelers wanting to relax away from the bustle and hustle.

Itineraries

Once you have decided on the length of your trip, it is time to consider the itinerary.

First, sort out the cruises you can take before checking their detailed itinerary to know what you will get during the tour. Carefully checking the program is essential as it sometimes differs between cruises.

A cruise typically includes the essential things to do in this bay, such as a cruise through the limestone islets, a stop at the remarkable karst caves, a kayak ride, a visit to the sandy beaches, a tour to the fishing village or the pearl farm. 

You might also consider several additional activities like squid-fishing, morning Tai Chi practice, cooking class, sunset party, and more.

Types of Boat

Cruises in Lan Ha Bay are divided into four primary levels: Standard, Budget, Middle-Range, High-End & Private.

• Standard day cruises: A typical day excursion to visit the bay.

• Budget cruises: They are ideal for budget travelers.

• Middle/Range 3- to 4-star cruises: They are good cruises at affordable prices.

• High-end 5-star & private charter cruises:  Luxury comfort with Lan Ha Bay Cruises.

The Food 

If you have special meal requirements, tell the crew in advance

Once boarding, you'll have meals on board, including Vietnamese food, seafood, and international menu sets. Remember that not all cruises deliver international food. It is up to the category of your chosen boat.

If you or your loved ones have any food allergies, you must notify the operators in advance to prepare the replacements. Some cruises also include sunset parties onboard with fruits, wine, and cocktails that can sound appealing to several vacationers.
