The Au Co cruise is designed to allow our passengers to get a true sense of Vietnam and experience a taste of the Orient. While aboard, there is a range of activities for you to discover and experience Vietnamese culture for yourself, everything from Tai Chi to cultural talks, cooking lessons to fine dining. Off-deck, there are plenty more opportunities to learn more about the local culture and history and also to engage with some of the local communities who inhabit this world-renowned landscape.

Tai Chi lesson in sunrise while on a Halong Bay cruise
Practising Tai Chi first thing in the morning with our professional trainer is a great way to start your day on a boat in Vietnam; clearing your mind and giving you energy for the rest of the day to discover both the beautiful Gulf of Tonkin as well as all the activities available on board The Au Co. This ancient Chinese martial art is celebrated both for its defence training and also for its health benefits.

Experiencing bamboo boat in Halong Bay to discover local floating village
As The Au Co has a more leisurely schedule, you will have more time to connect with some of the Gulf of Tonkin locals, adding to your lifetime experience. As part of our unique itinerary, we will pass local villages where you will be able to observe, and even take part in, some of the locals’ daily activities. We believe this is one of the greatest Halong tours Vietnam has to offer.
On Cat Ba Island, you can visit Viet Hai village and see people working on the rice paddies and picking fruit.
We will also travel to the more remote Bai Tu Long Bay to visit Vung Vieng Floating Village. Touring this fascinating village on bamboo boats, you can see how local families survive on the water, fishing.
