INTRODUCTION

Just next to the famous Ha Long Bay, a world natural heritage, Bai Tu Long Bay is not any the less beautiful with hundreds of islets rising from the clear water and long smooth sand banks.
After admiring the beauty of the limestone rocks in numerous interesting shapes and discovering deep caves or mangrove forests by boat, visitors still have much more to see on Quan Lan Island with pristine beauty featuring unspoiled environment. The deep blue sea has strong waves and white sand beaches, which span over several kilometers. Some distance away from the beach stand the very green wild pines, further add to its original charm.
Meanwhile, Cua Ong temple is famous as one of the most sacred places in Vietnam. The temple is built in Van Don district, in the middle of the mountains, facing Bai Tu Long Bay.

 

ITINERARY

Day 1 Hanoi – Ha long - Quan Lan Island
This morning you will be picked up from the hotel, then take an air-conditioned bus to Halong City. Arriving in Ha Long City, you will have time for lunch (included) in a local restaurant before boarding the ferry to Quan Lan Island. On board the ferry you will have the opportunity to take in the breathtaking scenery of Bai Tu Long Bay during the 4˝ hour journey.
Arriving at Quan Lan Island, a Vietnamese tuk-tuk will take you to your bungalow on the beach. It is then free time to chill, read, or take a walk along the beach. 
Note : You can book a private boat (140 USD) to visit the caves and have lunch on boat.

Day 2 Quan Lan
Today is a free day to chill out and relax. A popular option is to hire a bicycle and take a photographic trip around the Island, which will allow you to glimpse the remoteness and untouched scenery that was Vietnam before wide-scale tourism made its impact.

Day 3 Quan Lan - Cai Rong
Early this morning you will take a local ferry to Cai Rong Island, about 3 hours  from Quan Lan. Take time to see some beauty spots on the island like Van Don harbour (Vietnam’s oldest trade harbour), Cai Rong town market, Hang Doi (Bat Cave) and especially the Cua Ong Temple. Overnight in Cai Rong

Day 4 Cai Rong - Hanoi
After breakfast our car will come to pick you up from the hotel for a 4 hour drive to Hanoi
