Ha Long Bay: Luon Cave & Luon Lagoon | Aqua Elegance Cruise, Kayaks, Bamboo Boat, Hanoi Train Street

Join us as we explore the best of northern Vietnam 🇻🇳 — from the hidden Luon Cave / Luon Lagoon in Ha Long Bay to the bustling Hanoi Train Street and Old Quarter night market. We cruise on the elegant Aqua Elegance, wake up to peaceful lagoon views, kayak and ride bamboo boats through limestone karsts, enjoy a hearty pho lunch and buffet on board, then return to Hanoi by bus for a lively night market stroll.
