(*) If you book a transfer from Hanoi, transportation will start between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, depending on your pick-up location. The drive to Halong usually takes around 2.5 hours.
In case you want to schedule the Halong cruise on the same day of landing at Noi Bai airport, the flight landing time should be around 6:00 - 7:00 AM at the latest (and earlier if it's an international flight and you need to go through customs).
The first day of the Bhaya Legend journey begins with the cruise heading toward Me Cung Cave, located on Lom Bo Island, approximately 25 meters above sea level and southwest of Titov Island. Upon arrival, guests visit the cave and move through its maze-like chambers, where ancient stalactites and stalagmites reveal the geological character of Ha Long Bay. From the cave entrance, elevated views open out across the emerald waters and surrounding limestone formations.
The itinerary then continues to Luon Cave, a water cave accessible only by traditional rowing boats. Guests travel through the cave’s narrow passage, where calm waters reflect the karst walls and subtle changes in light highlight the limestone structures along the way.
Later in the afternoon, aboard Bhaya Legend, a new culinary experience awaits, designed for those who wish to engage more deeply with Vietnamese cuisine. You are invited to select three signature dishes and take part in a hands-on cooking session guided by our onboard chef. Created exclusively for Bhaya Legend, this intimate experience offers a closer look into local flavors, techniques, and the stories behind each dish, set against the natural backdrop of Ha Long Bay as the light shifts toward sunset.
As evening falls, the day concludes with squid fishing on board. Guests join the crew to try traditional techniques used by local fishermen, sharing a relaxed and social moment before the vessel settles for the night.
