Your itinerary

1. 08:30

   Pick-up from your hotel

   Our shuttle picks you up from your hotel in Cat Ba Town and drives you down to Beo Harbour, where Serenity Boutique is waiting.

2. 09:00

   Check-in · welcome drink · cruise through Cai Beo

   Step onboard, settle in with a welcome drink, then sail out through Cai Beo Fishing Village — one of the oldest floating villages in northern Vietnam — past Hon Rua, Hon Guoc, and Van Boi Island.

3. 10:30

   Kayak the Tai Keo Phreatic Karst Cave System

   Arrive at the Ha Long–Lan Ha boundary and break out the kayaks. Paddle into the Tai Keo cave system — narrow tunnels, hidden lagoons, and karst overhangs you can only reach by kayak. Two-person sit-on-top kayaks, life jackets, and dry-bags provided.

4. 12:30

   Seafood lunch onboard

   Lunch is served onboard — fresh seafood and Vietnamese specialties with floor-to-ceiling views of the bay.

5. 14:00

   Ba Trai Dao · swim & boat jumping

   We anchor near Ba Trai Dao, a quiet three-cone island spot. Swim straight off the boat, jump from the deck, or just float in the emerald water. (Depending on tide and sea conditions, the kayaking and swim spots may shift to nearby coves.)

6. 15:45

   Afternoon tea · cruise back to Beo Pier

   As the boat heads back toward Beo Pier, afternoon tea is served on the deck — tea, light snacks, and bay views to close out the day.

7. 17:00

   Transfer back to Cat Ba Town

   Arrive at Beo Harbour and our shuttle takes you back to your accommodation in Cat Ba Town. (Itinerary may change due to weather and other factors.)
