DURING TOUR

During the 2nd day, there’s a small boat and private tour guide escorting you to visit fishing villages and kayaking whole-day. On this day, Halong Imperial Junk will not escort you because it must cruise back to the harbour to pick new guests from Hanoi. In the late afternoon of the 2nd day, the small boat will transfer you back to Halong Imperial Junk for the 2nd night.

During the 2nd day, when you are not in Halong Imperial Junk (big junk), you do NOT need to check out your cabin. The cabin on the 1st day is still reserved for you. Therefore, you can leave your luggages and value items inside your cabin. Keep the room keys with you during the 2nd day. Obviously, the housekeepers can not do their duty when you keep the key, but you still can ask them to do that when you’re back to the big junk in the late afternoon.

The 2nd day is the best highlight of this tour – you pay a visit to floating villages and Fullday Kayaking with tour guide. It’s time to immerse yourselves with local fishermen life.
