Day 1: Embarking on a Journey of Discovery Step aboard the Calista Cruise at Tuan Chau Port and begin your luxury escape with welcome drinks and canapés. Settle into your private balcony cabin, then enjoy a gourmet lunch in the Bayview Dining Restaurant. In the afternoon, explore Ha Long Bay’s natural wonders: pass the serene Pearl Farm, marvel at Sung Sot Cave, and unwind with sunset tea at the Calista Breeze Bar. As night falls, join a Vietnamese cooking demo followed by a BBQ dinner under the stars. End the evening with squid fishing, a massage, or simply relax in your cabin, lulled by the bay’s gentle rhythm.
A place so amazing that the French deemed it “Grotte des Surprises” or (Surprise Grotto), Sung Sot Cave is one of the biggest, most beautiful caves in Halong Bay and a highlight on most Halong Bay itineraries.
Ti Top island is located about 14 kilometers to the east of Bai Chay tourist harbor. It has a beach that is shaped like a crescent moon and known for its tranquillity and beautiful still blue waters. The sands of the beach have been dyed white by the ocean’s surf creating a perfect picture of paradise
Day 2: Morning Serenity and Cultural Immersion Greet the day with a sunrise Vovinam martial arts session on the top deck – a uniquely Vietnamese experience that connects body and spirit amid the bay’s breathtaking scenery. A traditional Vietnamese breakfast features local specialties like hand-pounded squid rolls unique to the region. Then, embark on an exploration of Luon Cave, where you can choose between kayaking or being rowed by local fishermen in traditional bamboo boats. Your journey culminates with a special Chef’s Performance Brunch – a culinary experience exclusive to Calista Cruise that sends you off with flavors as memorable as the vistas. Return to Hanoi, stopover on the way for a refreshment break. Arrive in Hanoi around 15 - 15h30pm. End of the trip.
Luon Cave is considered as one of the most ideal places in Halong Bay for kayaking. If you have a great passion for kayaking, you should not miss Luon Cave. In addition to kayaking, rowing is another great option if you want to explore Luon Cave. Sitting on a bamboo boat rowed by a local, visitors can see a variety of plants such as ferns, cycads, Benjamin’s fig trees, and many beautiful orchids. If are lucky, you can catch great photos with mischievous monkeys jigging up and down around the cliffs. A truly natural place that which is hard to find in anywhere of the word.
