Since 2011, Life Heritage Resorts has been operating 22 compactly-designed heritage junks that can deftly weave through the limestone formations in the Central Isles of this Unesco World Heritage Site – something that bigger cruise ships are unable to do. Combine your Central Isles cruise with two more days plying the Western and Eastern Isles, and you won’t cover the same stretch of water twice.
Life Heritage Resorts’ boats depart from Tuan Chau island, a private development that aims to be the world’s largest marina. All boats have four-star amenities such as your own kayak and guide, and can accommodate two guests overnight, plus your private crew. The upper deck has sunbeds, a kitchen and dining area, while the lower deck houses the bedroom, bathroom and a back door that you can slide open while docked in a secluded anchorage overnight or when you’re ready to jump into your kayak.
And if you ever get bored from the view, you can ask the guide to change the itinerary at any time – try making a stop at the fishing village, Cat Ba National Park, or the Surprising Cave. Fares start from $500. Day cruises are also available. See www.liferesorts.com for details or call +84 (0)33 6253 000.

HALONE BAY
The company that run "The Jasmine" were amazing.
Great food and faultless service from start to finish. Def recommend a 3 day/2
night trip as it's more fun with Cycling on Cat Ba Island and Kayaking.
Two people recommended the PALOMA
KRISTY PITMAN SAID:
Yes we did do Halong Bay. It was included in a private tour we took which included sea kayaking (overnight on secluded island), tracking Cat Bah (overnight on Cat Bah), and Halong Bay (overnight on a boat). Great trip and memories with hubby. We didn’t do this one with kids and it wouldn’t have suited them, unless they were teens. Days too big and adventurous. We did however do central and southern Vietnam with the children though so that’s probably how you’ve gotten mixed up.
