Calista Cruise

Morning ACtivities

Begin the day with a Vovinam/ Tai Chi martial arts session on the sundeck, a refreshing way to welcome the sunrise over the bay. Afterwards, enjoy a hearty Vietnamese-style breakfast.

Today, you’ll board a day boat to explore the more remote corners of Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay, passing unspoiled sites such as Dau Nguoi and Yen Ngua before heading toward the Trinh Nu Cave area.

Explore the Trinh Nu area

Trinh Nu and Trong Cave, located in a quiet section of the bay, offer a peaceful escape surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and still waters. Accessible only by kayak, this area provides a close-up encounter with nature, far from the busy tourist routes.

We then return to the day boat and continue to Ba Trai Dao, where lunch will be served onboard.

Unwind on Ba Trai Dao Beach

Enjoy free time in Ba Trai Dao, known for its beautiful beaches. You can swim in the refreshing water or simply relax on the soft white sand.

If the weather cooperates, the boat will cruise past Hon Con Coc and Mat Quy, stopping by the pearl farming area and floating pearl rafts (or visiting Me Cung Cave). Later, unwind with a delightful afternoon tea before reboarding the Calista Cruise.

Free time at Sunset

Let's unwind at the Calista Breeze Bar as the sun dips below the horizon. Guests can enjoy Happy Hour specials or take part in a hands-on Vietnamese cooking class.

Enjoy Dinner - Leisure

Dinner tonight is a BBQ or set menu, all served beneath the starlit sky for a truly atmospheric dining experience (or in the restaurant).

After dinner, the evening is yours to enjoy as you wish: play board games, indulge in a soothing massage, try your luck at night squid fishing, or simply relax in the pool.

Have breakfast

Wake up to the refreshing bay breeze and, if you wish, join the invigorating Vovinam class. Afterwards, enjoy a light breakfast to recharge for the day ahead.

Travel to Luon Cave

Our morning excursion takes us to the enchanting Luon Cave, one of Halong Bay’s most scenic wet caves. Explore this natural wonder by kayak or rowing boat and admire its dramatic limestone cliffs, lush vegetation, and hidden grotto-like charm.

Check out - Have Lunch

Back on board, take some time to relax before preparing for check-out. At around 9:30, guests will complete payment of any remaining charges at the reception desk on the 1st floor. Then, we enjoy a special brunch, served just before the journey concludes.

From Calista Cruise, bid farewell to the friendly crew, and transfer to the waiting lounge at Tuan Chau Harbor. Guests with pre-booked transfers (extra fee) will be assisted accordingly.
