Halong Bay Private Charters
We charter only a handful of boats out of the hundreds on Halong that private the absolute highest quality for private Halong Bay cruises or semi-private cruises (shared cruise). These wooden cruisers (often called "junks") are not the old junks of decades past, nor sleek fiberglass yachts on the nearby Gulf of Thailand. However, they are well-maintained, safe, elegant, with a superb service. In addition to the crew, depending on arrangements, you may be accompanied by an experienced guide from our Hanoi office to ensure your cruise is perfect and to provide escort by kayak.
Larger cruise boats the bay are constructed entirely of wood can be crowded and noisy. Instead, choose from the newer handful of boats that are launched each season (often new models replacing some of the same charter service boats below). Most charters ply a set crowded route through the bay close to Halong Port, while of our private charters head further out into more tranquil and scenic stretches of the bay while offer kayaking and delicious dining with an array of Vietnamese, seafood and Western dishes (dietary requirements can be arranged, including vegetarian, as well as special occasions celebrations, such as birthdays or anniversaries).
These are example of previous season's charters, for reference, though as mentioned above, we do charter newer or higher quality boats each season that may not be listed here. Contact us for specific details and a quote.
