Cruising with Jade Sails, you will see the magnificent Halong Bay with an “off the beaten track” itinerary for a limited time schedule.

2. Local Rowing Boat

Besides roaming around on Jade Sails Cruise, tourists are also finding much fun in taking a bamboo boat to explore Halong Bay.

The bamboo boat is a familiar transport for fishermen. The small one is used to move; the larger one is used to transport goods, even the home of the whole family.

The bay is ideal for sunbathing with dazzling sunlight and a beautiful beach with calm tides, clean, and green water.

Destinations of Jade Sails Cruise

1. Halong Bay – The Legendary Wonder

The journey begins as the Jade Sails Cruise glides across the heart of Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its surreal limestone pillars and emerald waters.

This is where nature’s creativity seems limitless — sculpting islands into shapes that resemble dragons, elephants, and even sleeping giants.

Cruising through these calm waters, you’ll witness the timeless beauty that has inspired countless legends and poems of Vietnam.

2. Lan Ha Bay – The Hidden Paradise

Unlike the bustling central part of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay remains quiet and unspoiled, often called the “forgotten twin” of Halong.

With around 400 small islands covered in lush greenery, Lan Ha is perfect for kayaking and swimming in secluded lagoons.

Here, the water is incredibly clear, and the atmosphere is peaceful — the kind of serenity that photographers and dreamers fall in love with.

3. Dark and Bright Cave (Hang Sáng Tối) – A Natural Masterpiece

Located where Halong Bay meets Lan Ha Bay, Dark and Bright Cave is one of the most magical parts of the cruise.

Guests can explore this area by bamboo boat or kayak, passing through limestone arches and mysterious grottoes that open into hidden lagoons surrounded by towering cliffs.

Each bend reveals another breathtaking view — a place where the only sounds are the soft splash of paddles and the songs of seabirds echoing between the rocks.

4. Floating Fishing Villages – A Glimpse of Local Life

During the journey, Jade Sails Cruise passes by ancient floating villages, where generations of fishermen have lived their lives connected to the sea.

Wooden houses float gently on the water, linked together by nets and small walkways. You’ll see local families repairing nets, children rowing boats to school, and women selling fresh seafood.

It’s an authentic look at a traditional way of life that is slowly fading but still holds the charm of Vietnam’s coastal heritage.

5. Quiet Swimming Area – Nature’s Private Pool

Jade Sails selects one of the most tranquil spots in Lan Ha Bay for swimming — a hidden cove shielded by limestone cliffs.

The water here is calm, clean, and wonderfully refreshing. Whether you dive in or simply float under the open sky, this stop brings you the closest connection to the raw beauty of northern Vietnam’s seascape.

6. Tuan Chau Marina – The Gateway to Adventure

The cruise starts and ends at Tuan Chau Marina, one of the most modern harbors in Halong.

With its elegant facilities and panoramic views of the bay, this is the perfect beginning and ending point for your day at sea.

From here, luxury meets nature, and every detail of your journey is handled with comfort and style.
