Transportation for Cozy Boutique Cruise

Cozy Boutique Cruise can arrange for a comfortable shuttle bus to collect up visitors from their accommodations in the Hanoi Old Quarter. The pick-up time is from 7:30 to 8:00 in the morning, every day. It is advisable that you eat breakfast and be ready in the hotel lobby at an advised time because the bus cannot stop for long in the Old Quarter. Cozy Boutique cruise's shuttle bus does not pick up passengers from the Hanoi train station (Lao Cai arrival) until 7:30 in the morning, therefore it is better that you return to your Hanoi Old Quarter hotel, or call the cruise to organize a pickup spot where you can have breakfast and rest before the shuttle bus arrives. Returning to your hotel in the Old Quarter will ensure a seamless pick-up, therefore we recommend it.

If you would like to get picked up at the Noi Bai International Airport, you can also request it from the cruise company. But please note that it will be a private car.

4. Main Experiences

Kayaking

One of the best ways to appreciate the splendor of this incredible natural wonder is via kayak. Big boats can't go where kayaks can. Therefore, it will be a magical experience to paddle through unspoiled beaches, limestone karts, secret caverns, and islets, all of which are less touristy.

Your kayaking itinerary and schedule will vary according to the duration of your trip and the weather forecast. Before attending the kayaking session, you will be escorted to a secure spot by a boat crew or tour guide where they teach you how to paddle. Even though this is not a difficult activity, you must still adhere to the tour guide's instructions. It is also advised that you prepare a few suitable clothing items such as a T-shirt, a short or a swimsuit for the best experience.

Swimming

You are surrounded by water, so it is a great chance to soak in the sun's rays and indulge in the turquoise water with giant karst stones around.

Not just a great activity for families or couples, this is a perfect way for anybody to spend quality time alone, reflecting on nothing but nature and appreciating the present moment.

Cycling

Perfect for a leisurely half-hour bike ride, Viet Hai Village is lovely to visit. Beautiful landscapes abound, a fascinating escape from the hustle and bustle of Hanoi or the cruise ship may be a real luxury. You not only get the chance to breathe in fresh air, ride along the road in a picturesque view but also be welcomed by the local villagers’ hospitality.

Cooking demonstration

Sharing Vietnamese culture through the cuisine is a great way for visitors to easily sense its beauty. An hour of cooking with the cruise team on the sundeck at night while sipping your drink is peaceful and enjoyable.

Tai Chi morning exercise

As a result of its stunning beauty and serene atmosphere, as well as its open, fresh air, Halong Bay is an ideal location for doing Tai Chi exercises.

They provide a complimentary Tai Chi lesson that lasts between thirty and forty-five minutes. You will learn the fundamentals of Tai Chi from trainers who specialize in it.
