Lan Ha Bay takes the shape of a graceful arc, embraced by a stunning archipelago of over 400 large and small islands. The name "Lan Ha" poetically translates to a beautiful orchid descending to the mortal realm to adorn the world. While it may not feature as massive a cluster of islands as its neighbor, Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay boasts its own unique charm with up to 139 pristine, secluded sandy beaches scattered throughout, such as Ang Vem, Cat Dua Beach, and Cat Co Beach. If you find yourself short on time to explore the entirety of the bay, a mere half-day of kayaking through its heart is enough to unveil the most breathtaking spots of this paddling paradise. This itinerary can be seamlessly arranged for either a morning or an afternoon excursion.

Highlights:

• Kayaking through the magnificent waters of Lan Ha Bay
• Exploring the mesmerizing Tay Keo Cave
• Swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Van Boi Beach
