After enjoying breakfast at your hotel, our local guide will meet you at the hotel lobby and provide the transfer to Hanoi Noi Bai Airport for a private 12-seater Cessna Caravan seaplane (with flexible time) to HaLong Bay. The seaplane flight offers magnificent views of HaLong Bay’s 1600 islets from above, along with thrilling water take-off and landing.
The 45-minute flight from Hanoi to HaLong Bay and a 15-minutes scenic tour over HaLong Bay in the seaplane gives you a unique experience of Halong Bay from 150 meters high. You can enjoy fabulous aerial views over the countryside and be thrilled by the water landing, which has lured many savvy travellers from all over the world.
