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.

Cruise cancellation due to bad weather conditions

Cruising/sailing in Ha Long Bay is regulated by the Ha Long Bay Port Authority. Each morning, the Port Authority delivers a permit to each cruise company for sailing in Ha Long Bay. Both day cruises and overnight cruises are regulated this way. In case of bad weather conditions and risk of tropical storms, the Port Authority might limit the possibility of cruising and even decide to cancel all cruises. In such a case, final decision by the Port Authority is usually known only by 3:00 PM on the day of departure.
