Auco Cruise 3 days / 2 nights

Overview

Unlike more common three-day two-night cruises which use transfer boats, guests will remain on the same Au Co for the entire trip to have the best Ha Long Bay tour experience.

The Au Co is a large steel vessel with 32 cabins, providing first-class facilities that guarantee a cruise of the utmost comfort. This boat runs only for 3 day/ 2 night program bringing you further into the Bay to untouched island so you can experience its distinctive geology, local history and endemic flora and fauna.

Highlights

Free round trip transfer Hanoi – Ha Long Bay by regular shuttle bus.
Free letter for visa on arrival * (stamp fee is not included).
Free kayaking.

(*) Vietnam Visa on Arrival (VOA) is quite different from the normal “on Arrival” concept. If you wish to do the VOA service here, you need to employ an agent in Vietnam (like our hotel) to obtain an official of approval letter for VOA before you arrive. Later, at the airport this letter must be showed together with your valid passport to get the Visa stamped.
