5 Days
Day 1 : Hanoi - Ba Cat Beach
Our first day starts with a four-hour drive to Ha Long city stopping
on the way for some light refreshments and local hospitality. At
Halong city we transfer to our private boat for a cruise in the
stunning Halong Bay with a fresh local seafood lunch served on board.
Our destination for today is the deserted beach of Ba Cat. Arriving
around four p.m. we set up camp for the night before having a few
hours spare to get accustomed to our Kayaking equipment and get
a sample of what to expect from this World Heritage Listed area.
Day 2 : Ba Cat Beach - Ho
Ba Ham Island
We break camp after breakfast, and load our camping equipment and
personal effects onto the support vessel, before paddling for approximately
3 hours to Ho Ba Ham island. We set up camp and have lunch before
the option of additional kayaking to explore the surrounding area
in the afternoon. After our local cooks have prepared our evening
meal there is time to sit around the camp for some cultural exchanges
with our guides and support staff.
Day 3 : Ho Ba Ham Island -
Nam Cat Beach
Once again, this morning, we follow the routine of the previous
morning before setting off in our Kayaks for approximately four
hours paddling. On the way to this day's destination, Nam Cat Beach,
we will visit some of the many lagoons for swimming and relaxing.
Arriving around lunchtime or shortly after, we set up camp and have
lunch. The afternoon is free then, to explore the surrounding area
before returning to camp for the evening meal and relaxing with
more cultural exchanges.
Day 4 : Nam Cat Beach - Cat
Ba Island
Our last day Kayaking takes us to Cat Ba Island approximately 3
hours away. After checking into our guesthouse, the rest of the
day is free time for exploring the national park, local markets,
more Kayaking around the fishing fleet or just lazing on the beach.
We will spend our last evening together sampling the cuisine of
a local restaurant and a chance for a few laughs in one of the many
local Karaoke bars.
Day 5 : Cat Ba Island - Hanoi
Today we begin our journey on the early morning ferry from Cat Ba
island to Vietnams busiest seaport, Hai Phong. Arriving here around
three hours later, we transfer to our waiting vehicle for a two
hour drive back to the nations capital, Hanoi and bid our guide
farewell.
