Our car and driver will pick you up at 8.00am at your hotel in Hanoi and take you to scenic Ha Long Bay, arriving around 12:00 noon.

At the port of Ha Long, our crew will welcome you on board the Dragon Pearl Junk to enjoy a welcome drink and check into your cabin.

A seafood lunch will be served and at 13:00 a 3.5 hour cruise in Halong Bay will begin, visiting the amazing limestone karsts including the Mat Qui (monster’s face), But Moc, and Cap De islets; the Trong (Drum) and Trinh Nu caves, and the unique way of life in a floating fishing village, ending with the chance to explore the Luon cave from 16:40 to 17:30. There will be plenty of time for swimming and sun bathing as well as enjoying a great sunset dinner and relaxing under the starlit sky before retiring to the comfort of your cabin.

Early risers can enjoy the serene morning view of the bay’s landscapes with a cup of tea or coffee and fresh fruit. From the upper deck of the boat, the beauty of the rocky islands rising from the crystal-clear waters of the bay is breathtaking. The quiet is almost eerie; the birds singing and cicadas chirping onshore, along with the gentle lapping of the waves against the boat, provide the perfect soundtrack to accompany the sense of calm and the fresh, gentle breezes.

Explore the Sung Sot (Amazing) cave from 8.00 to 9:00 then swim and relax at Titop beach. A brunch buffet will be served on the return cruise from 10:30 to 11:30, arriving back at the harbor by noon for the drive back to Hanoi.

Phoenix Golf Resort is located 40 kilometers north of Hanoi in an area referred to as ‘Halong Bay on Land’.  The view from the course and clubhouse is spectacular as the limestone outcroppings which frame and come into play on many of the holes resemble those most people only expect to see in the famous Halong Bay.

The 54 hole Phoenix Golf Resort is the largest pure-play golf facility in Vietnam and second largest in Asia, only after Mission Hills China.

Designed by Ronald Fream, each of the three courses at Phoenix makes use of severe fairway and green undulations as well as clever routing through and around the unique-looking limestone cliffs. Additional Japanese and Korean design inputs ensure that the surrounding environment is both well protected and stunning at the same time.
