The experience
A closer look at your trip
Leave Hanoi's Old Quarter for a night among Ha Long Bay's limestone islands with other gay travellers, then come back for a final evening of Hanoi street food. The plan includes kayaking, a cave visit and a slow morning on the water. Start and finish in Hanoi's Old Quarter. Spend 1 night on board an overnight cruise in twin-share cabins, to be confirmed. Road transfers between Hanoi and the harbour take about two and a half to three hours each way. A local guide travels with the group. Egg coffee in Hanoi, meals together on board, a sunset on deck and a farewell street food walk give you time to get to know each other, with space to rest in between. Cruise routes and activities depend on weather and harbour authority rules.

FAQ
Before you book
Straight answers to the usual questions.
What is gay social travel?
Group trips for gay travellers who want to explore a place and meet people along the way. Each trip page sets out the itinerary, what is included and the local operator running it.
Can I come on my own?
Yes. You can also book together with friends or a partner on one booking, and choose your rooms.
How does booking work?
Choose a date and how many of you are going, then reserve your place with your name, email and WhatsApp number. For overnight trips you also choose rooms and add everyone's name for the hotel. Your host then messages you on WhatsApp to confirm your place. You're only charged once it's confirmed.
Who will I travel with?
A small group of gay travellers. Each date shows its age group: ages 18 to 35, ages 35 to 50, or all ages. It's a guide, not a rule: a few years outside the range is fine if the pace suits you, and we never ask your age. Your host looks after the group on the trip.
