Chopper hopper to Halong Bay
HANOI – Trails of Indochina has improved access to Halong Bay from Hanoi with the release of a luxury junk cruise module that includes return helicopter transfers.
The use of helicopters between the Vietnamese capital and the UNESCO World Heritage site means travel time between the two points, a three-hour journey by road, has been cut down to less than one hour.
This positions the cruise option as a pre or post conference add-on module.
The cruise component is operated by Trails of Indochina’s Halong Bay specialist Cruise Halong with groups staying on board traditionally built luxury junks.
These include the Halong Jasmin, which can accommodate up to 48 passengers, and the smaller 10-cabin Halong Ginger.
Both vessels include restaurants, lounge bars, libraries, gyms and massage rooms.
Highlights of the one to three day cruise itineraries include visits to floating villages and local schools, traditional temple ceremonies, trekking, cycling and exploration of Cat Ba Island and its national park by kayak.
