Halong Bay Junk Boat Cruises

Most of the junk cruises in Halong Bay were launched in the last decade (2007 - 2019), at the early stages of cruising services in Halong Bay. There are new boats and luxury junks, of course, but just a very modest number as the steel junks are dominating the bay right now. 

Price range

The majority of these boats are budget cruises with 3 - 4-star service standards and you can easily book one for a 2d1n or 3d2n cruise trip at reasonable prices (only from US $126/ pax). For the higher class, BestPrice Travel offers 5-star luxury junk boats like Emperor (from US $276/pax) and Orchid Classic (from US $175/pax).

Facilities

Although the wooden junks are small, and cannot afford as many functions as the steel boats, they can still provide perfectly the comfort of full-amenity cabins, delicious meals, and all the must-try activities such as sightseeing, swimming, kayaking, and night squid fishing.

Services

There is no worry about the quality of services at Halong Bay Junk Boat Cruise, as they all have many years of experience in the bay with well-trained staff. Some of them offer private and 5-star luxury junk boats to provide the best quality trip for every passenger.

Cruise safety

You don’t have to be concerned about the safety of the wooden boats, as all the junk is maintained periodically, at least once or twice a year. Only recognized boats meeting the government’s safety standards are allowed to travel in the bay.

While most of the new steel cruises travel through Halong to Lan Ha Bay, a new hot travel route these years, wooden junks mostly travel in Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay, which means you have 2 main options for the itinerary: classic and off-the-beaten-track ones.

Halong Bay

The classic itinerary is ideally suitable for first-time travelers coming to Halong Bay, which allows you to visit the most popular attractions here such as Titop Island, Sung Sot Cave, and Luon Cave.

Bai Tu Long Bay

When you choose the off-the-beaten-track, that means you will have a chance to explore the unspoiled beauty of the bay. The junk cruise will take you deep into remote areas like Vung Vieng Village, Thien Canh Son Cave, and Cong Do Area.

From US $126/ 2 days, BestPrice Travel offers the best Halong Bay traditional junk boats with high-quality services and unique cruise experiences onboard. Please refer to our top Halong Bay junk boat overnight in 2023 and choose the best one for you.
