Day 1
Halong
Bay - Junk overnight
This
morning you are collected at around 8.30am for the 4
hour drive to Halong Bay . En route there will be a
short stop at the Sao Do centre run for and by
handicapped children. On arrival we board our deluxe
junk, this traditional wooden sailing junk boat offers a
unique way of navigating the limestone karsts of Halong
Bay with all the comforts of a motorised, floating
hotel. Once settled in, you start your cruise round the
majestic Halong Bay , while enjoying a delicious lunch.
After lunch you have the chance to explore some of the
limestone caves dotted around the bay. Then, the captain
will find a secluded spot where you can swim in the
clear water of the bay, soak up the sun on the top deck.
In the evening the cook prepares a sumptuous meal as the
boat weighs anchor in the heart of the bay.

Days 2-3
Monkey Island Resort
Rising
to the tranquil beauty of the bay on day 2 we have time
for an early morning swim followed by breakfast. This
morning we continue to move around the bay to find more
secluded areas, we take a look at the Floating Village
of the fisherman and the Luon lagoon, then keep sailing
towards Cat Ba Island. Arrive in Cat Ba Island, you are
ferried to Monkey island, a laid back beach resort. Rest
of the day is free for leisure. We spend the night in
the bungalow.
We have 2 full days free to chill out and relax. Monkey
island Resort is a 'get-away-from it all' hideaway in
Lan Ha bay. Perfectly located on Monkey island, here you
can savour fresh seafood, local fruits & enjoy a
cocktail as you watch the stunning sunset drop over the
ocean horizon.
You're free to plan your days on the island as you wish;
do whatever want to do and nothing that you don't want
to do. Spend some time relaxing on the beach or read a
book that you never got around to reading back home. If
you would prefer a more active way to spend the day,
there are plenty of activities and options to choose
from, go on a kayaking trip around the island and take a
close up and personal look at the colourful world below
the surface of the sea or trek up the mountain to the
other side of the island to make friend with the
monkeys, you'll also have c omplimentary access to most
water sports the resort has to offer. So if you ever do
feel the need to do something a little more strenuous
than relaxing by the beach.... water sports await!.
