THE MYTHICAL HA LONG & CAT BA ISLANDS

(3 days/2 nights: 1 night on Deluxe junk, 1 night on Cat Ba islands)

“ I sat on a lounge chair with my book as the boat left the shore. After ten minutes in the water, the auxiliary engine turned off. For the first time in a week, I noticed an interesting phenomenon. It was quiet. Nobody tried to sell me anything, there was no annoying music blaring in my ears and there were definitely no motorbike horns. It felt amazing “
