OVERNIGHT LUXURY CRUISE in HA LONG BAY, VIETNAM - (what to expect with a 3 day 2 night cruise)

Welcome to our fifth video in our Vietnam series and part 2 of our Ha Long Bay Cruise!

In this video, we are cruising through Ha Long Bay on a 3-day, 2-night excursion. We will show you what our adventurous day two itinerary looked like aboard the Mon Cheri.

Ha Long Bay is located in northeast Vietnam and is one of the most popular travel destinations in the country. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is known for its stunning emerald waters and beautiful limestone cliffs. Tourists and locals alike come here to experience the secluded beaches, mysterious caves, and charming floating fishing villages.

Our first stop was to Cat Ba island. Cat Ba is the largest island in Ha Long Bay. It has such incredible biodiversity that a portion of the island has been designated as a National Park. Cat Ba has become increasingly popular for its beaches, trekking, biking, and visiting Viet Hai village. We had a blast biking to the quaint mountainside village.

While there are a few different ways to get to the lovely Viet Hai village, we highly recommend biking. The paved path winds through the jungle and offers beautiful views of the mountains, water, caves, and local life. We were able to see an area preserved for tourists to experience what village life was like 40 years ago. We learned about fishing, farming, and how villagers were able to obtain the necessities like food and water. While the village is becoming more modern, the people still live in great harmony with nature, making this a very peaceful stop on our day.

After lunch, we explored a fishing village, enjoyed some tea, and kayaked around the bay!

We ended our day with a delicious six-course meal while watching the sunset from the viewing deck!

Thanks for joining us for day 2 of our cruise. Tune in next week where we wrap up our time in Ha Long Bay and travel to a brand new destination in Vietnam!
