2 Nights in Bai Tu Long Bay // Indochina Junk Dragon Legend

Better than Ha Long Bay? Bai Tu Long Bay is a part of the world famous Ha Long Bay and we went on a 3 day 2 night luxury cruise with Indochina Junk on board their Dragon Legend boat. Off the beaten track of busy Ha Long Bay, our cruise felt extremely tranquil. From pearl farms to kayaking in the most incredible scenery, our luxury cruise with Indochina Junk was simply amazing! A Ha Long Bay (Bai Tu Long Bay) travel guide. #vietnam #halongbaytravel

While rowing through the beautiful fishing village of Vung Vieng, watching stunning pearls be cultivated in the middle of nowhere, kayaking in the remote Cong Dam geological park and hiking up to the Thien Canh Son Cave with its captivating view, we were mesmerized at every turn. We found Bai Tu Long Bay to be so underrated and couldn’t understand why!

We took the Dragon Legend in 2018. We were so impressed, we stayed aboard for a 2nd cruise. Lovely ship and you showed it very well.

[@LaurenJason]

We can definitely understand why you stayed for a 2nd cruise! It was an amazing experience 😍

[@Varekai0723]

I did this exact cruise on this boat 10 years ago and absolutely loved it! Glad you had a great time.

[@LaurenJason]

That’s awesome! We can’t wait to do it again 😍

[@Varekai0723]

​@@LaurenJason Yeah it was great. We had our last dinner INSIDE a cave though, which was awesome.

[@LaurenJason]

@@Varekai0723 no way, that’s incredible! Do you remember the name of the cave by chance?

[@Varekai0723]

​@@LaurenJason Can't remember the name, but Indochina Junk used to have exclusive access to an island with a beach and cave. We spent the afternoon on the beach and then dinner in the cave.

[@LaurenJason]

@@Varekai0723 that sounds like such a great time!

video quality is so good

[@LaurenJason]

Thank you 🥰

[@tuananhtranhuu]

The biggest island in Vietnam is Phú Quốc which is in the south The second is Cái Bầu( or Vân Đồn) and the third is Cat Bà. Hạ Long is the area between Cát Bà and Cái Bầu. Bái Tử Long is up to north of Hạ Long and east from Cái Bầu. In Bái Tử Long there are many big island that has villages which have the history of thousands years while Hạ Long only has some seafood plants Easy way to get to Bái Tử Long is coming to Cẩm Phả or Vân Đồn city which is about 30km from Hạ Long city to the north

[@LaurenJason]

Thank you for all the great information!

[@alexmelendez5404]

What's the tipping situation like over there? Do you tip as you go or one big tip? How does it get split up with all the staff? Thanks! and Great Video!!!!

[@LaurenJason]

It’s one big tip at the very end which is optional! We’re not exactly sure how they split it up but we assume it’s quite even.

[@djinvn]

Another great video. You’re very good at production. Halong Bay is amazing. We did Stellar of the Seas 1 night. Loved it. (I did a video on it as well). Keep up the great work!

[@LaurenJason]

Amazing! We’ll have to check those videos out 🙌

[@charlesdolivo3312]

What a fun trip! I have not head of bai tu bay before but it’s quite beautiful. Very moody though? Is that common for the area?

[@LaurenJason]

It was a lovely cruise and we enjoyed it quite a bit and it was a little rainy for sure but it really depends on the season. Sometimes it’s full blue skies!

[@ben_castle]

Have you checked into Hoi An, Hue, Phong Nha, Moc Chau, Hoang Su Phi, Mu Cang Chai? They are spectacular as well.

[@LaurenJason]

We visited Hoi An and loved it! The rest we will have to check out one day 😍

[@BVSFlim930]

[@LaurenJason]

We didn’t encounter any problems!

[@belowtheindigo]

I’d love to know of you can go on this cruise just for 1 night and 2 days? I’m in Hanoi now and I really want to book this cruise but can’t do 2 nights. Thanks for the great info!

[@LaurenJason]

Yes they do! The Dragon’s Legend is only for 2 nights but their Dragon’s Pearl ship does overnight cruises! Their website has all the details 😊

[@john21percent]

[@unamijeremiah7059]

Thank@@LaurenJason for responding so quickly!! thank you for the very informative video

[@doanphuong1325]

Did u spend 1K or something outrageous?

[@LaurenJason]

Nope on average it’s about 200-250 per person!

[@3cl3cticm3]

Was there trash in the water?

[@LaurenJason]

Barely any that we saw but even when there was during our time at the fishing village, the rowers would actually pick up any garbage that was there!

[@3cl3cticm3]

Thank you for your response!
