Escape the morning crowds and chase the golden hour! If you prefer a leisurely start to your day, our Half-Day Lan Ha Bay Tour on the D’charme Luxury Cruise is the perfect choice. This premium journey takes you deep into the archipelago with exclusive amenities like a 4-season Jacuzzi and a thrilling water slide. Best of all, it transforms into a magical Lan Ha Bay sunset cruise in the late afternoon—a breathtaking experience you simply cannot miss.
Unlike standard wooden boats, D’charme brings a 5-star touch to your afternoon adventure:
Four-Season Open-Air Jacuzzi: Soothe your muscles in our large Jacuzzi pool (warm water available in winter), enjoying panoramic views of the limestone range.
Adrenaline Water Slide: Slide directly from the second deck into the emerald waters of the bay—a favorite for both kids and adults.
The Golden Hour: Witness the magical moment when the sun dips behind the mountains during our Sunset Tea Party.
Smart Timing: Departing at 14:30 means you avoid the peak morning rush, ensuring a more peaceful atmosphere.



14:30 – 15:00 | Hotel Pick-up Our friendly guide and shuttle bus will collect you from your hotel in Cat Ba Town. We then proceed to Beo Pier (Ben Beo) to check in.
15:00 – 15:30 | Cruising Through History Welcome aboard D'charme! As we depart, you will glide through Cai Beo Fishing Village. Dating back 7,000 years, this is one of the oldest floating cultures in Vietnam. Watch as local fishermen tend to their floating farms.
15:30 – 16:15 | Into the Heart of the Bay The cruise navigates deeper into the core of Lan Ha Bay. Prepare your cameras as we pass iconic formations like Turtle Islet and Pen Islet. The scenery here is just as majestic as Ha Long Bay but significantly wilder and quieter.
16:15 – 17:00 | Kayaking Adventure We drop anchor in a calm lagoon (Tai Keo or Van Boi area). You will pair up in kayaks to paddle through sea caves and get up close to the limestone cliffs. It’s the best way to touch nature.
17:00 – 17:45 | Splash & Relax This is the highlight! You have free time to:
17:45 – 18:15 | Sunset Party Dry off and head to the sundeck. We serve complimentary tea, fresh tropical fruits, and snacks. Chill out with background music as the sky turns purple and orange over the horizon.
18:30 | Return to Port The boat returns to Beo Pier. Our bus drops you off at your hotel, concluding a memorable afternoon.

Absolutely. Our half-day itinerary is designed for those with tight schedules but who still want to see the best of the bay. You will visit the core highlights, including the floating fishing villages and pristine beaches. You will have plenty of time (approx. 45-60 minutes) for kayaking and swimming. It’s a "short but sweet" adventure without the exhaustion of a full-day trip.
Your safety is our priority. In case of storms or if the Bay Management Board bans port departures, we will offer you a full refund or assist you in rescheduling for the next available day completely free of charge.
