Halong Bay, Land Sea – 4 days and 3 nights

Halong Bay, Land Sea - 4 days and 3 nights

Discovering Halong Bay Terrestrial & Maritime in 4 days, is choosing to take the time to grasp all its richness, between land and sea, between peaceful rice fields and emerald waters. It is accepting to slow down to better observe, feel, marvel. Here, the landscape is never revealed with a single glance: it is earned, crossed, contemplated at different rhythms and under different lights.

The discovery begins on the terrestrial Halong Bay, around Ninh Binh, Tam Coc, and Trang An. In this postcard setting, karst peaks arise in the middle of the rice fields like stone giants. Aboard a silent boat or along rural trails, nature becomes soft and enveloping. The villages live to the rhythm of water and seasons, offering an authentic first immersion in a rural Vietnam, serene and deeply harmonious.

Then comes the encounter with the majestic and mythical maritime Halong Bay. Aboard a traditional junk, the journey takes on an almost unreal dimension. The limestone islets emerge from the sea like natural sculptures, the morning mist floats on the surface of the water, and the silence is disturbed only by the lapping of the waves. Time seems suspended, inviting contemplation, disconnection, pure wonder.

This unique combination between land and maritime Halong offers a complete and balanced vision of the region. It allows to understand the geological formation of these spectacular landscapes, while living varied experiences: gentle navigation, nature walks, local encounters and peaceful nights in the heart of grandiose settings.

This stay of 4 days and 3 nights is much more than a simple passage by an emblematic site. It is a total immersion, sensitive and progressive, in one of the most beautiful jewels of Vietnam. A journey that leaves a lasting impression, by the beauty of the places as much as by the serenity it provides.

This package allows you to discover these two places without returning to Hanoi.
