Pelican Cruise 3 days 2 nights give more opportunities to explore out of the way places and indulge in the natural wonder of Halong Bay than the 2 day 1 night Halong cruise tours. See the magnificent limestone islets and outcrops lined-up across the emerald sea. Explore a remote fishing village to view the daily lives of the locals. Kayak unspoiled lagoons, sliding past deserted white sand beaches and awesome limestone karst formations.

The perfect option for the return visitors to Halong Bay, or for the travellers yearning for a truly authentic Halong Bay cruise experience.
