Itinerary:

Our tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup. We'll get you around 3:30 PM in the winter and 4:00 PM in the summer (we will contact you in advance to confirm the exact time).

Upon arrival at the Cai Beo ferry terminal, you'll board our boutique boat and cruise through the stunning scenery of Lan Ha Bay. As we head towards Monkey Island, you'll pass by the Floating Fisherman Village, the oldest village in Northern Vietnam.

When we reach Monkey Island, keep an eye out for the island's playful residents! We'll stop here to relax, watch for monkeys, and swim in the warm waters of Lan Ha Bay during the beautiful golden hour.

As the sun sets, we'll cruise to our kayaking spot. Once in our kayaks, we'll paddle to the best locations to witness the incredible glow of bioluminescent plankton! You'll feel like a fairy as the glowing plankton illuminates in water around you, while paddling between towering rocks under the moonlight :)

Around 8:00 PM, we'll return to the boat for the short journey back to Beo Pier. By 8:30 PM or 9:00 PM, we'll be seated for a delicious dinner at our family-owned restaurant, Alibaba’s, located right next to the pier. Here, you'll enjoy a variety of tasty dishes (including fish, spring rolls, chicken, and tofu), with vegetarian options available. You can also purchase drinks to enjoy with friends as you wind down after an adventurous day. After dinner, we'll arrange transportation to take you back to your hotel.

Important Things to Note:
*Schedule: The itinerary is subject to minor changes based on weather conditions.
*Bioluminescence: While the plankton is always present, its visibility can vary from day to day.
*Monkeys: Encounters with the monkeys are very common but are not guaranteed as they are wild animals.
