LAN HA BAY 3D2N Cruise – Real Local Bay Cruise for Deep Exploration
Vịnh Lan Hạ
3D2N
Maximum 25 guests
Overview
This 4-star cruise spends two nights on board, reaching parts of Lan Ha Bay that shorter trips skip. Highlights include the Dau Be area and a guided walk in Cat Ba National Park with Tien Duc cave. There's also lunch with a local family in Viet Hai village and visits to floating fishing villages, from $239 per person.
Beka Insight: about half of all 3D2N departures route to the Dau Be area on Day 1, with the rest visiting Ba Trai Dao Beach instead — worth confirming with your booking agent if Dau Be specifically matters to you.
Not sure two nights on board is right for you? See the full Lan Ha Bay tour lineup for shorter day-trip and single-night options too.

FAQS
Three days is long enough to reach the Dau Be area and the quieter stretches of Lan Ha Bay that day trips and single-night cruises never see. The Cat Ba National Park walk, Tien Duc cave and lunch with a local family in Viet Hai are included rather than sold as paid extras.
Both nights are spent in a cabin on board the 4-star cruise. Boarding is at Cai Beo Cruise Port at 12:00 and the boat returns to the pier at around 11:30 on day three.
No. Transfer from Hanoi or Ninh Binh to Cat Ba is not included in the base rate. It can be added as an optional bus transfer for 15 US dollars per passenger each way.
The cruise is capped at 25 guests. The guide speaks English and Vietnamese.
Three breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners are served on board, including a BBQ dinner on the first evening. Beverages and VAT are not included.
Cancellation is free up to 15 days before departure. Cancelling 8 to 14 days before departure incurs a 50 percent charge. Within 7 days of departure the full amount is charged.
