Embark on a relaxed yet immersive kayaking journey through Lan Ha Bay, a quieter and less-travelled alternative to neighbouring Ha Long Bay. Paddle at your own pace through a spectacular landscape of limestone karsts, secluded beaches and hidden lagoons accessible only by small boats and kayaks. The journey takes you towards Ba Trai Dao, one of Lan Ha Bay’s most beautiful areas, known for its striking limestone islets, sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters. Depending on the conditions and your energy level, you can paddle for up to four hours or more, with plenty of opportunities to stop for swimming, photography or simply relaxing on the beach. A dedicated support boat accompanies the group throughout the journey, providing drinking water and snacks and allowing you to take a break or be picked up whenever needed. With no need to rush, this is a wonderful way to experience Lan Ha Bay from water level — exploring its quieter corners and enjoying the landscape at your own pace.

• Before starting the kayaking, the guide will instruct on paddling techniques and provide safety guidelines and route information. You must wear a life jacket at all times.
• While kayaking in the bay, be mindful to avoid obstacles such as submerged rocks and other boats. Avoid paddling too close to rocky cliffs if there are waves, as the waves can push you into sharp barnacles on the rocks.
