Hanoi
1
Hanoi
Stop: 3 hours
-08:00: Start picking up customer from hotels in the Old Quarter (optional outside the old quarter)
Transfer with modern comfortable round-trip transportation from Hanoi by National Expressway through the Red River delta is a great opportunity to see what daily life is like for Vietnamese farmers. Rice fields and water buffalo flank both sides of the road.
Take a rest stop at a halfway point for short rest before continuing to Halong Bay. The most interesting glimpses into rural life come during February and June when whole families are busy transplanting the young rice plants to the growing fields.

-12:00: Arrive in Halong City Tourist Wharf. Here you’ll on board and head into the bay. A fresh seafood lunch (vegetarian available if requested) is served on the way out.
The limestone bedrock and sheer cliffs of the countless islets have inspired local people to come up with equally fanciful names: Stone Dogs Island, Duck Island, Finger Island, Incense Burner Island, and Fighting Cocks Island, the symbol of Halong Bay.Read moreMore about Hạ Long Bay
