 Kayaking
You can do kayaking on the bay all year around but great time is between October and June. That is an excellent way to explore the tranquil waters of Ha Long Bay, giving access to the thousands of islands and outcroppings that make up Ha Long’s unique limestone karts geology.
Cave visit
We will embark on the boat for a cruise amongst the islands and islets of this stunning Halong bay. We will visit one cave on our 1 or 2 day trip, however, if you wish to visit more than one cave, we have to plan this well prior to departure so that our captain know where to go and please be informed an extra fee for each additional cave you plan to see.
Note: If the weather turns bad, we all have to follow the captain’s instruction, cave visit or extra cruise can be canceled without prior notice.
Bamboo rowing boats
The baskets in the far north in Halong Bay, graceful oval baskets before they’re outfitted for work, carry a heavy rectangular wooden deck and quite a bit of wooden framing to support their engines and provide a little covered stowage. Even the smaller Halong Bay baskets have at least a pair of wood or bamboo gunnels added and stanchions to carry the oars.
Cooking classes – a special activity in Aquarena Cruise trips
 Cooking Class
Cruising on Halong Bay, you can join our cooking demonstration. The chef shows you how to prepare some traditional Vietnamese dishes.
Vietnam is very proud to get more of the recognition it deserves in the world for its cuisine, with fresh ingredients and imaginative flavors, and one of the best experience of any trip toVietnam is the food. Even if you do not expect to do much Vietnamese cooking, a cooking class is a fun and interesting way to learn and understand the local Vietnamese ingredients and how to make some of the popular dishes.
Generally, most cooking classes are half-day classes starting in the morning with a trip to the local market followed by a cooking demonstration and lunch where you can eat the dishes that were prepared.
Join the staff to go night cuttle fishing in the evening
 night cuttle fishing
“There are many cuttle-fish down there. However, it is not easy to catch one if you have no experience. You should drop the line into the half-light. It is place where cuttle-fish often pass by to seek bait. If you do that, you will definitely catch at least one, just do follow the instruction added to a bit more of patience, you are able to catch some cuttle-fish” said one of the boat’s staff
