Oriental Sun Cruise in Lan Ha Bay
Oriental Sun Cruise in Lan Ha Bay
For those wishing to explore Lan Ha Bay by wooden sailboat, there is no better option than 2 or 3 days spent on-board one of Oriental Sun’s wooden traditional cruises. Lan Ha Bay, while not as famous as its bigger brother Ha Long, certainly lacks nothing in terms of the gorgeous scenery that the region is famous for, and comes with an added bonus of being somewhat more remote, meaning the gorgeous views are even more untouched and pristine.
This tour comes in two styles; either a 2-Day tour both visiting Lan Ha Bay and spending 1 night on-board, or a 3-Day tour that also includes an extra night on-board as well as some time spent trekking on nearby Cat Ba Island
