My Memorable Ha Long Bay Adventure: VietJet and Junk Cruise Experience
I took VietJet from Da Nang to Ha Long Bay and arranged a private car to the port for my Junk Cruise adventure. If you’re in Hanoi, you can choose between a bus or van to transport you from your hotel to the pier.
Upon arriving at the port, guests register and wait in the lounge area for the call to board. A smaller boat transports everyone to the cruise. As I boarded, I received an orientation that covered all the details, including a safety guide and my room key.
The one-night stay on the Junk Cruise was unforgettable, even though it would have been even better with a travel companion. The boat glided smoothly through the calm waters of the bay, anchoring in a serene open area surrounded by limestone mountains.
For the return journey, the Junk Cruise took me back to the boarding point, where I could choose between a private car or a shared bus back to Hanoi. The 2.5-hour drive, via Hai Phong, included a brief stop for stretching and a nature break. The trip concluded with drop-off right in front of my hotel.
