Day 1: Embarking on a Journey of Discovery

Halong Bay - Day 1: Embarking on a Journey of Discovery
Step onto the Calista Cruise at Tuan Chau Port and start your luxurious getaway with welcome drinks and canapés. Settle into your private balcony cabin, then enjoy a gourmet lunch at the Bayview Dining Restaurant.

In the afternoon, discover Ha Long Bay’s natural wonders: pass by the tranquil Pearl Farm, admire Sung Sot Cave, and relax with sunset tea at the Calista Breeze Bar.

As night descends, participate in a Vietnamese cooking demonstration followed by a BBQ dinner under the stars. Conclude the evening with squid fishing, a massage, or simply unwind in your cabin, soothed by the bay’s gentle rhythm.

Hạ Long Pearl Museum - Choose between kayaking or a bamboo boat ride to explore the tranquil beauty of Tung Sau Pearl Farm – where the ocean’s treasures are cultivated.

Halong Bay - Take part in a cooking class right on the cruise, learning to prepare delicious Vietnamese specialties.

Hang Luon Cave - Many visitors believe that Luon Cave is like a gateway to a wonderland with water and limestone mountains in Halong Bay. Passing through Luon Cave, all the fatigue and exhaustion of tourists are left behind so they can find their souls connecting with nature. Visit Luon Cave by kayaking or bamboo boat rowing by locals and enjoy the beautiful view through the cave.

Dark and Bright Cave - Located at the edge of Halong Bay, Dark & Light Cave is found in Lan Ha Bay. Lan Ha Bay is a few kilometers away from the more frequently visited caves and closer to Cat Ba National Park, so it may take an hour or two to reach from other caves. Upon arrival, a stunning combination of white limestone karsts, emerald green waters, and the dark mystery of the caves create a wonderful atmosphere, making this a trip worth taking. Visit the cave by kayaking or bamboo boat for about an hour around this area.
