2-Day Cruise In Bai Tu Long Bay: Review By Mrs. GUERRIN

Bai Tu Long Bay
Bai Tu Long Bay, located near the famous Ha Long Bay, is a true natural gem of Vietnam. Less crowded than its neighbor, Bai Tu Long offers a more intimate and serene experience, with crystal-clear waters, lush green islands, and spectacular rock formations. With AUTOUR ASIA, Travel agency in Hanoi Vietnam, I had the chance to explore this marvel by embarking on a 2-day cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay. In this article, I’ll share my impressions and the highlights of this unforgettable cruise.

I. Why did I choose Bai Tu Long Bay?

During my previous trip to Vietnam, I had the opportunity to visit the famous Ha Long Bay, a stunning yet heavily touristy destination. This time, I wanted to explore a more authentic, quieter place close to nature. That’s how I decided on a 2-day cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay with Autour Asia. Bai Tu Long Bay, often considered a more secret and preserved version of Ha Long Bay, offered exactly what I was looking for: spectacular landscapes without the crowds.

The 2-day itinerary in Bai Tu Long Bay allowed me to enjoy a unique experience. From the very beginning, I was amazed by the beauty of the crystal-clear waters and the impressive rock formations rising from the sea. The 2-day, 1-night cruise allowed me to discover breathtaking scenery while relaxing in a peaceful setting, far from the hustle and bustle of major tourist destinations.

Dragon Pearl Junk

1. Day 1: Halong International Port – Bai Tu Long Bay – Thien Canh Son Cave

Our 2-day Bai Tu Long Bay cruise started with a pleasant transfer from our hotel in Hanoi to Indochina Junk’s office. Upon arrival, we received a warm welcome and took a buggy ride to the port. Onboard, we enjoyed a welcome tea while listening to the itinerary presentation for the 2-day Bai Tu Long Bay cruise. The cruise began with a delicious lunch featuring fresh seafood from the Quang Ninh region.

In the afternoon, we explored Thien Canh Son Cave, where we were amazed by the stunning stalactites and stalagmites. Afterward, we stopped at Hon Co Beach to relax and enjoy a kayaking adventure around the limestone islets before returning to the boat. The sunset over the bay was simply magical.

In the evening, we participated in a Vietnamese cooking class before savoring a delicious dinner in a serene, romantic setting. As night fell, we took time to relax onboard, try squid fishing, or simply rest while soaking in the tranquility of Bai Tu Long Bay for 2 days.

2. Day 2: Vung Vieng Fishing Village – Halong International Port

The next morning in our 2-day Bai Tu Long Bay cruise, we woke up early to admire the stunning bay at sunrise while sipping tea. After breakfast onboard, we took a bamboo boat ride to visit Vung Vieng Fishing Village, where we learned about the local way of life and admired the beauty of this picturesque site.

Back onboard, we enjoyed a set-menu lunch while cruising through the limestone islands—a perfect time to relax and take in the breathtaking scenery. Our 2-day cruise concluded with a cultural stop at Yen Duc Village, where we watched a traditional water puppet show performed by talented local artists.

Our 2-day Bai Tu Long Bay cruise ended with our return to Hanoi. We brought back unforgettable memories of this exceptional experience marked by the natural beauty and serene atmosphere of the bay.

III. Reviews from other tourists

Before booking our 2-day Bai Tu Long Bay cruise, my family and I conducted thorough research. In addition to consulting travel advisors, we also read reviews from other travelers on social media platforms.

Tracy’s Experience on the Dragon Pearl Junk

Indochina Junk provided us with an exceptional experience! During our 3-day Halong Bay cruise aboard Dragon Pearl 2, we enjoyed a comfortable boat, spacious cabins, and excellent air conditioning. The delicious cuisine thoughtfully accommodated my vegetarian preferences.

Our guide was warm and knowledgeable, making the trip even more enjoyable. Tony and Truong, crew members on the junk, surprised everyone with live music after dinner, adding a personal touch. The itinerary perfectly balanced relaxation and activities. My birthday was beautifully celebrated with a surprise cake. I highly recommend Dragon Pearl Junk for an unforgettable Bai Tu Long Bay cruise.

Orla’s 5-Star Review of Dragon Pearl Junk on TripAdvisor

Two-Night Cruise – It’s for Everyone!

This cruise is 100% worth your time, money, and energy! I’m glad we chose the 2-night cruise because getting to Bai Tu Long Bay takes effort. I felt like we did a lot together, yet it was still relaxing. Popular with everyone—we were a mix of families, couples, and solo travelers.

We went as a young couple with 14 others, and it was one of our best experiences in Vietnam so far. The staff is endlessly generous and attentive to your needs. We enjoyed 8-course lunches and dinners, including freshly caught seafood. The scenery was stunning, and we loved kayaking and having lunch on the beach.
