What does bioluminescence mean?
Bioluminescence is light produced by living organisms. The plankton programme looks for this natural light after dark; it does not promise a visible display on every trip. Read NOAA’s explanation of bioluminescence.
Questions before you book
What makes the Viet Hai and plankton combo different?
This combo includes the Eco Culture day itinerary with Viet Hai Village, followed by a speedboat connection to the evening programme. Its 2,300,000 VND fare is 100,000 VND more than the Local stay-on-board combo.
Can I split this combo across two days?
This listed combo is for the same day, approximately 08:00–20:00. Send a separate planning request if you need a different arrangement; a two-day schedule is not included in this product.
What is the price and which currency is charged?
The fare is US$91.27 per person, including VAT. This is a USD display of 2,300,000 VND at 25,200 VND per USD. The exact VND fare is used for payment; requesting availability does not reserve a place.
Is glowing plankton guaranteed?
No. Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon, and a visible glow is not guaranteed. A photograph of bright blue water is not a prediction for your travel date.
Can I book for children?
Send the children’s ages with your request. Child eligibility and fares need an individual quote; the website does not assume a child discount.
