YOUR JOURNEY WITH US

Itinerary & Excursions

This three-day Bhaya Soul itinerary invites you on a seamless journey across two bays, revealing Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay at a beautifully serene pace. Sailing far from the usual routes, you will enjoy tranquil waters, discover secluded caves, and paddle through untouched landscapes. Fostering a deep connection between breathtaking nature and rich local life, unhurried moments and curated wellness experiences set this exclusive getaway apart.

(*) 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 Ha Long usually takes around 2.5 hours. In case you want to schedule the Ha Long 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 retreat begins the moment you board Bhaya Soul. After a mindful welcome, savor a fresh seafood lunch while gliding past Halong Bay's iconic limestone islets. In the afternoon, find your rhythm by kayaking through the serene, sheltered lagoons of Ba Ham Lake.

Back on board, deep relaxation awaits. Unwind with your choice of complimentary wellness experiences: a soothing herbal foot ritual and wellness treatment, or a gentle yoga session on the sundeck. Set against the tranquil backdrop of Halong Bay, this is the perfect moment for your body and mind to gently ease into pure relaxation.

Later in the afternoon, guests may choose to swim or relax in the all-season swimming pool. As we anchor in a secluded corner of Lan Ha Bay, enjoy sunset drinks and canapés before sitting down to a refined, five-course dinner celebrating Vietnam’s culinary heritage. As night falls, embrace profound stillness with a guided Sleep-well Meditation beneath the stars or try moonlit squid fishing.

Start your morning with a mindful walking meditation session in Tien Ong Cave, celebrated for its archaeological wonders and natural charm. The peaceful surroundings provide an ideal setting for reflection while exploring one of Halong Bay's most fascinating cave systems. The journey then continues to Tung Sau area by an excursion boat for closer access to local maritime life with traditional pearl farming activities. Upon arrival, guests may explore Tung Sau by kayak or traditional rowing boat, moving through the calm waters while taking in the spectacular scenery of this hidden corner of Halong Bay.

The itinerary proceeds to Trinh Nu Area, home to one of the most beautiful caves in the bay. Guests may visit Trinh Nu Cave and explore its impressive stalactites and stalagmites or enjoy swimming and kayaking in the surrounding waters before returning to Bhaya Soul to enjoy a curated 4-course lunch amid the serene beauty of the bay. 

In the afternoon, guests are invited to enjoy their complimentary wellness treatment (if not yet experienced), join a Yoga session to stretch and destress, or simply unwind in the all-season swimming pool while soaking in the surrounding seascape. 

As the sun begins to set, Happy Hour returns with cocktails and gourmet canapés served on deck. An elegant, regionally-inspired dinner is then served on board, followed by an opportunity to join the crew for squid fishing beneath the stars or stargaze by the telescope on the sundeck.

The final day begins with your choice of mindful practice: a walking meditation surrounded by the ancient limestone formations of Tien Ong Cave, or a rejuvenating Sun Salutation session on the sundeck to welcome the morning light. After enjoying the breakfast, the journey continues to the Cua Van Floating Culture Center, one of Halong Bay's most iconic cultural sites. Here, guests may explore the area by kayak or traditional rowing boat while observing the daily life and traditions of local fishing communities.

As the cruise slowly returns toward the harbor, guests may enjoy a final wellness treatment if not yet experienced, taking in the last views of Halong Bay's spectacular limestone landscape.

At 10:00 AM, the journey comes to a close with cruise disembarkation at Tuan Chau International Marina, marking the end of your curated voyage, but the deep sense of ease and inner peace will seamlessly accompany you as you step back into the world.

(*) If you book a return transfer to Hanoi or Noi Bai Airport, you will arrive in central Hanoi/the airport at around 1:30 - 2:30 PM (depending on traffic conditions and the type of transport). Please take these times into consideration when booking your onward flight, train, or bus to your next destination.

OUR REAL STORIES

What Our Guests Say About Us

5.0 (35)

The best island cruise experience!

Best trip ever. Amazing ship. New, well decorated, peaceful aroma therapy, clean. Safe and fun activities. Exceptionally friendly and caring staff. Food was gourmet, live music every evening. Best customer service for the whole team and memorable staff included Emma, Ivy, Tony, Bean, Sophia, Kevin, Ryan. Everyone was kind and fun to get to know. I would recommend this trip to everyone. Such a special memory. We had the best time in Vietnam here.

2 Nights of Luxury and Peace in Ha Long Bay

We booked for our honeymoon and truly, it was the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. It was a great mix of activities and relaxation. Also, the spa was the best massage I've ever had-truly. The accomodation, food and boat was beautiful. The thing I really loved is that the cruise took you to quieter areas of the bay and it really felt like we were one of the only people out there. You saw other boats but it was never crowded or busy where we were. We were quite nervous about it being busy but the itinerary takes you to the hidden gems of the bay.

A Magical Adventure

The Bhaya Soul must be the best vessel in Halong Bay. The cabins are large and luxurious. The food is world class but still authentic to Vietnam. Toni, our butler, spoke perfect English and looked after us so well. We also loved the serving staff especially Bean and Ivy. The floating village experience by traditional rowing boats is fascinating and we were impressed to hear that the Bhaya Soul purchases fresh fish from the local fish farms in the floating village. The experience far exceed our expectations.

A lovely time to relax and enjoy what nature offers

We loved our time in the Bhaya Soul cruise. Ivy was a delightful host, she looked after our every need. All the staff were kind, accommodating and friendly. I would also like to thank Emma, Tony and Tom for making our experiences and excursions special. The cruise was not rushed, but also not too slow. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and activity. The size of the boat and number of other travellers was also perfect. It felt like you had your own space and not overcrowded. Our cabin was spacious, smelt beautiful and comfortable.

2 night cruise totally recommended

We were on a 2 night cruise on Bhaya Soul and it was an amazing experience. We were lucky enough to have Tom looking after us and he was exceptional. The room was incredible with the most comfortable bed ever and all the facilities were outstanding. The food was way more than we expected with lunch and dinner both running to 4 courses. We would absolutely recommend Bhaya Soul and do the 2 night, 3 day cruise to really get the best experience.

The Staff are the “Soul” of Bhaya Soul

Could not of been happier with our Bhaya Soul cruise. The boat is STUNNING! But what makes this cruise special is the staff - they are so kind and attentive and professional. Ivy & Duke were stand outs - anything we needed or wanted , they were there to help. Absolutely amazing. The food is divine, the cocktails delightful and the pool so relaxing. If you want a quiet, luxury cruise that fills your belly and your soul with happiness - Pick Bhaya Soul.

Seeing Ha Long Bay at its Best

We had the best time seeing Ha Long Bay on this cruise. All the staff onboard were incredible but Duke our personal host was extremely friendly, patient and knowledgeable and made the experience even more memorable and special. The cabin was excellent and had all the amenities you could need. The food was exceptional throughout the trip too, with the high quality of detail going into the menus and even the table decorations. I thought the excursions were also well planned, had a great variety and were set at a good pace. Not to rushed, but also not to much or too long. This really is one of those trips where memories are made. Ha Long Bay is so beautiful and this is the perfect way to experience at its best.

Relaxing ride with a gorgeous view

Had a GREAT time. Usually seasick but the bay doesn’t have a lot of waves, so I had a blast. They say Ha Long was considered one of the new 7 wonders, and it was truly gorgeous. Our guide was Emma, and she was very welcoming and enthusiastic about the tour. Very good English and amazing service. I had a massage by Hrung, and it was so nice I almost fell asleep. They truly go above and beyond. We went on Bhaya Soul, and it has about 20 rooms so the staff gets to know you personally. They address you by name and make sure all your needs are met. Bean made sure we had all the great food we could get. So delicious. Highly recommend. Very welcoming staff and amazing view.

An experience I’ll never forget

We had an incredible experience from pick up to drop-off. Our guide was Tom and he was most warm, welcoming and beautiful would. Made us feel so special on our anniversary from start to finish. He was super informative about all the activities and was our personal photographer making it a point to capture all of our memories every step of the way. All the staff were incredible and will recommend this tour and the Tom as the guide to anyone, any day.

Bhaya Soul - Best luxury cruise for small group

I really loved this place! It is a great experience. You get to see Ha Long Bay in a great cruise. The food is amazing we really loved it! I was here for 3 days 2 nights. The crowd size is excellent, we were about 12 people on the boat and it is very private. Will was our personal guide and he was great! Also you get to do different activities on the boat and kayak around the bay. I really recommend this place!

Exceptional Service on Bhaya Soul Cruise

We went on the Bhaya Soul Cruise for the 2-night, 3-day tour, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, and every part of the journey felt smooth and enjoyable. Our guide, Tom, went above and beyond to make our trip special. He was incredibly attentive and especially helpful when my partner was feeling unwell. We would highly recommend Bhaya Soul Cruise to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing trip to Ha Long Bay.

Perfect Halong Bay Cruise

A totally relaxing way to end our Vietnam holiday. The staff were exceptional, especially Toni, Sophia, Jv, and Bean, who looked after our every need with genuine warmth and care from beginning to end. The food was outstanding, and being serenaded by a talented traditional musician during dinner made the evening even more memorable. Combined with the breathtaking scenery, peaceful atmosphere, and attentive service throughout the cruise, it was the perfect finale to our Vietnam adventure.

A Truly Memorable Halong Bay Experience

What an unforgettable journey with the Bhaya Soul team! A special thank you to Will, whose warm hospitality and attention to every detail made us feel welcomed throughout the cruise. One of the most memorable moments was joining the kayaking activity to help collect trash on the bay—a meaningful experience that allowed us to enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Ha Long Bay while giving something back to nature. Combined with the excellent service and itinerary, it made this an unforgettable voyage.

An enchanting dream afloat – A poetic journey with Bhaya Soul

An absolute masterpiece of a journey, Bhaya Soul was more than just a cruise. Kayaking through the serene waters and exploring the floating beauty of Cua Van Fishing Village were unforgettable highlights. As the sun set, the sky turned shades of amber, making the view from the pool deck even more magical. What elevated the experience was the heartfelt service from the entire crew, especially our host Ha and cruise manager Huy, whose warmth and hospitality made this voyage unforgettable.

Outstanding Service, Amazing Food, and Incredible Value!

Our group of seven from the USA booked the 3-day Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay cruise on Bhaya Soul, and it was truly a 5+ star experience. Transportation from Hanoi was comfortable, and from the moment we boarded, we were welcomed with refreshments, music, and exceptional service. The crew was warm and attentive, making us feel like family. The food was outstanding, the ship was spotless, and we highly recommend Bhaya Cruises for an unforgettable experience.
