Upon arrival at the wharf at 12:00, Seafood lunch is waiting on board while cruising. We then sail our boat around its natural rocky gardens. Most of the islets here are not for living due to the lack of fresh water but are excellent for cruising to contemplate their miraculous draws on the horizon. Many of them have great names from their inspirational shapes, including the Thien Cung cave. Then that boat takes the client directly to Gia Luan Pier on Cat Ba island at 16:00.

Lan Ha Bay is the same as Halong Bay but wild and less tourist, lying on the Gulf of Tonkin. It belongs to the Cat Ba Islands area - Hai Phong City, in the south of Halong Bay. Many people think that it is the Halong Bay area because it also has hundreds of islands like Halong Bay. However, Lan Ha Bay is different with hundreds of small beaches, this is a paradise for tourists to go swimming, go kayaking or stay overnight in a bungalow.
