Taking off and landing on the water at Tuan Chau Marina, our 25-minute scenic flight showcases the highlights of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay, offering a completely different perspective than from a cruise ship. From the air, the many islands appear like mountain ranges, the embodiment of ""Ha Long"", meaning ""descending dragon"". Dau Be Island: Located in the southeast of Ha Long Bay, Dau Be Island is 500m east of Hang Trai Island, and about 28 km from Bai Chay Cruise Port. The island is part of an archipelago on the outer route of Ha Long Bay (gateway to Lan Ha Bay). Cong Do Island: Situated in Bai Tu Long Bay, southeast of Ha Long Bay, and 25km from Bai Chay Cruise Port, Cong Do Island is part of the natural World Heritage area. Bo Hon Island: Bo Hon rightfully appears on every list of most beautiful islands in Ha Long Bay, not only for its fantastic scenery but because it comprises one of the largest island chains in Ha Long Bay.

Private luxury cruise and seaplane Halong

The organization, transports, boat tour and seaplane worked smoothly. The tour guide was very good and flexible. Unfortunately, there's a point deduction. Our flight confirmed for 10:00 for 9 months has been postponed to 14:10, obviously because the cruise organizer of AIDA blocked all morning appointments for its guests at short notice. So our 6-hour luxury boat trip planned for the afternoon had to be cancelled. We then did a private tour in the morning for $190.00 for an additional fee of 4 people, which was also great and very exclusive. Unfortunately this was over after 3.5 hours and we had to wait 2.5 hours until the flight. I recommend adding the combination to the program , but extending the boat trip or at least adjusting the times. Halon Bay is much more relaxed in the morning than in the afternoon.

Perfect day in the bay and great visibility. Ideal combination

Fantastic combination. First the natural wonder from above, then with delicious food on the ship. Be sure to book Speedboat additional option on the ship.
