8:00 AM: You will check in at Skyway Cruise and enjoy a special welcome drink. Our staff will provide you with a cold or warm towel for your comfort.

8:15 AM: VISIT CÁI BÈO FLOATING FISHING VILLAGE

The cruise will take you to visit Cái Bèo Floating Fishing Village, where many local families live and farm seafood. This is one of the oldest floating villages still in existence today. Nature here is like a perfect symphony, and the people are the most beautiful notes that create a masterpiece of harmony.

9:00 AM: VISIT TURTLE ISLET – A SYMBOL OF LAN HA BAY

Seen from above, Turtle Islet resembles a sacred creature gliding across the emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay. Covered in the lush vegetation of the Cat Ba Archipelago, the islet remains green all year round. Located along the main sightseeing route of Lan Ha Bay, Turtle Islet is an unmissable destination for every visitor.

With its unique shape and position, the sea turtle symbolizes a gentle, resilient creature that has lived for hundreds of years in the northeastern coastal region. It is also one of the four sacred animals in traditional Vietnamese folklore: Dragon – Qilin – Turtle – Phoenix.

9:30 AM: VISIT VIET HAI ECOLOGICAL VILLAGE

After weaving through hundreds of limestone islets, the cruise will stop at Viet Hai Pier. From here, you will begin your visit to Viet Hai Ecological Village—blessed by nature with a poetic landscape of majestic limestone mountains and lush green rice fields.

Upon arriving in Viet Hai, you’ll feel as though time slows down. The atmosphere is fresh, and the surroundings are exceptionally peaceful and serene. Guests can choose to explore the 5-kilometer route by bicycle or electric cart, winding along the mountainside, passing through cool caves and beneath forest canopies with roots hanging like romantic curtains. You’ll breathe in the crisp air of a pristine forest that has existed for hundreds of years.

This area is also home to rare traditional medicinal plants, known by locals as “Joint-Relief Trees.” At a local homestay, you can enjoy a natural fish foot massage by a mountain stream and soak in the beauty of Cat Ba National Park.

Skyway Cruise also provides luxury cabins for guests who wish to rest at noon or seek a private space to relax with a loved one, family, or friends while admiring the stunning scenery of Lan Ha Bay.

11:30 AM: ENJOY LUNCH

Our captain will anchor the cruise at one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots, where you will enjoy lunch in the elegant onboard restaurant. A diverse and delicious set menu will be served, offering a variety of dishes for your enjoyment.

12:40 PM: KAYAKING – SWIMMING

Next, you’ll take part in an exciting kayaking activity—paddle your own kayak to get up close to the limestone cliffs, admire the vibrant marine life beneath the surface, and explore the Tai Keo – Van Boi area through small caves and inlets.

Here, you’ll also have the chance to join a fun activity hosted by our tour guide: safely jumping off the cruise into the cool, emerald waters for a refreshing swim.

Enjoy the moment as you relax on the cruise, sipping a cocktail, fresh juice, or coffee crafted by our skilled bartender, while soaking in the natural surroundings. Don’t forget to capture your best photos at this unforgettable spot!

1:30 PM: ENJOY A FRUIT & DESSERT TEA PARTY

Guests will return to the cruise to enjoy a complimentary tea party featuring fresh fruits, sweet pastries, and a selection of teas.
