Scarlet Pearl Cruise

Around 08:30 A limousine will pick up guests from the hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter or Hanoi Opera House (applicable for guests who booked transportation service). Our driver will take a 10-15 minute break by a station for guests to rest on the way.

Lan Ha Bay. The bay has hundreds of islands and islets, making it a wonderful background for guests to look at while dining.

Afterward, guests are invited to enter Ech Lagoon, an extremely serene and emerald spot, to kayak and swim. It’ll be a wonderful chance to immerse in one of the most remote parts of Lan Ha Bay. The shape of this lagoon looks like a giant frog resting. Hence it explains the name “Ao Ech” in Vietnamese.
