Halong Bay Muslim Tour 3 Days 2 Nights: Halal Cruise

Tour Information & Itinerary

Halong Bay Muslim Tour 3 Days 2 Nights on a Halal Cruise

Tour Overview

This Halong Bay Muslim tour 3 days 2 nights gives Muslim travellers what a one-night cruise cannot: a full day in Lan Ha Bay, the quieter southern part of the Halong Bay area next to Cat Ba Island, without worrying about food. You sail on Mon Chéri Cruises, the cruise we use for Muslim guests because it runs a dedicated halal kitchen and states that it is certified by the Halal Vietnam Association. Most other Halong Bay cruises serve pork and alcohol from shared kitchens.

Who Is This Tour For?

Families and couples who want to rest after a busy Hanoi itinerary
Travellers who want kayaking, swimming and a village walk, not only a sightseeing cruise
Guests who need halal meals for every meal on the bay

Halal Food on Board

All meals on board are served from the halal kitchen. Read more in our guide to halal restaurants in Halong Bay.

Good to Know

Cruise schedules can change because of weather; in a storm warning the coast guard may cancel sailings and we rearrange your dates.
Best months: March to May and September to November. June to August is hot with occasional storms; December to February is cool and misty.

Lunch on the day boat, then kayaking or swimming in a sheltered lagoon. Return to the main ship in the late afternoon for free time and a halal dinner. Overnight on the cruise.

Day 3: Lan Ha Bay – Trung Trang Cave – Hanoi (Breakfast/Brunch)
