How many days for your Shore Excursions from Cai Lan Port?

Your cruise ship may dock at Cai Lan Port for 1 or 2 days. If you have only 1 day to see the tourist attractions, you must choose one of the destinations.

Halong City has lots of things to do, but Halong Bay is the most popular and must-see in Vietnam. I would like to recommend the wonderful bay to you if you will visit Halong City for the first time. If you do not like seeing Halong City, Hanoi City which is packed with culture, cuisine, religion, and history is a great choice. In case you would like to hike, explore mountains, and visit various sacred pagodas and temples, pray, and ask for your relatives’ health, luck, and peace. Yen Tu Mountain is your choice.

Please ensure that you are strong enough to hike the mountains although there are cable cars in Yen Tu. A boat tour in Halong Bay is more comfortable and enjoyable because tourists simply sit, look over the beautiful sights, and take nice photos. You will walk to see the tourist attractions such as temples with large gardens, Hanoi Old Square, Sword Lake,…

A small number of tourists from cruise ships choose to visit Bai Chay Beach in Halong City, beaches on Cat Ba Island. A tour of the countryside (Red River Delta) in Hanoi is a good way to relax and learn more about Northern Vietnam and the real local life.

What is your choice if you have 2 days 1 night? One of the most favorite choices is the 2 days 1 night cruise on Halong Bay Tour. Tourists can also spend 1 day on Halong Bay and the remaining day at the amusement park and Bai Chay Beach. Or they usually visit attractions in Halong City on the first day and Hanoi on the second day. In general, you can choose to visit one city in one day at your wish.
