Discover the Magic of a Day-Long Tour with Holiday Haven Ventures
Have you ever wished that you could step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life — just for a day — and immerse yourself in beauty, history, calm rivers, and a little adventure? With Holiday Haven Ventures’ day-long tours, that wish can come true. Whether you have just a weekend, a day off, or feel like a spontaneous getaway — our curated day tours will give you a full break, a chance to breathe, explore, reflect, and come back home with memories to cherish.
In a single day, we take you on a journey where history meets rivers, where heritage meets nature — and you don’t have to worry about any logistics.
Let me walk you through what such a day could look like — with some of our favorite tour-packages to choose from.
Heritage, Rivers & History: Classic Day-Tours You’ll Love
Baliati Zamindar Bari & Moinot Ghat Tour
- Set off from Dhaka early morning — hop on our comfortable cruise vessel, and begin your journey with breakfast on board.
- First stop: Baliati Zamindar Bari — one of Bangladesh’s most magnificent historic mansions. Spread across several palaces (7 palatial buildings, ~200 rooms), it’s a relic of a bygone era, showcasing colonial-era grandeur and traditional Bengal aristocratic architecture.
- Wander through courtyards, admire the red-brick walls, imagine the old zamindar world, and soak in the heritage. It’s a dream for history lovers, architecture aficionados, photographers, or anyone curious about Bangladesh’s past.
- Then we head to Moinot Ghat — a riverside retreat along the mighty river (the tour cruise often uses the river route).
- At Moinot Ghat you’ll get that “mini-escape” vibe — soft sandy banks, river breeze, maybe a boat ride or a stroll, and the chance to unwind and breathe away from the city.
- Food, snacks, drinks are arranged: from breakfast to lunch to evening snacks — so you just sit back and enjoy.
- By evening, you board the cruise back, with hearts full of memories and minds refreshed.
This tour is ideal if you love history + rivers + peaceful escape all in a single day.
River Cruises: Water, Wind & Relaxation — Cruise-Style Day Tours
If you love the feeling of gentle waves, breezy decks and the calm of a flowing river — our river-cruise day tours are a perfect escape.
Buriganga River Cruise Day Tour
- Our “Exclusive Buriganga River Cruise” offers a full-day package: typically from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (or close, depending on tide and group) — just you, the river, and open water.
- You’ll board the vessel from a convenient jetty (e.g. Ghat near Dhaka), have a hearty welcome breakfast on the boat, and begin cruising outwards.
- The journey continues with sightseeing along the river banks, glimpses of river-side life, lush water, maybe birds and boats — a refreshing contrast to the cityscape.
- On board — all meals are taken care of: From breakfast to lunch to evening snacks. Local tastes, good food, water, comfort.
- Later you return to the same station, completing a beautiful full-day round trip.
This cruise is for you if you want a relaxed river-day, without the hassle of long travel, but with the calm and charm of water and waves.
Shitalakha River Cruise Day Tour
- For those who want a more tranquil, even more scenic ride, the Shitalakha River Cruise package offers an enchanting escape — think calm waters, rural riverside landscapes, lush greenery, traditional boats and a glimpse of riverine village life.
- The day starts early — 09:00 AM boarding at Shimulia Tourist Ghat (near Kanchon Bridge / Purbachal), and by 09:30 the cruise begins. Breakfast on board to welcome you.
- Cruise through the river, enjoy the greenery, perhaps a stop at a heritage or local-village site (some cruise itineraries include visits to old palaces/estates or local weaving/village sites).
- Onboard meals and refreshments are included (breakfast, lunch, tea/coffee, snacks), so you don’t have to worry about anything but relaxing — ideal for families, couples, or anyone wanting a quiet, soulful getaway.
- Return by evening, with your heart light, camera full of memories, and soul nourished by calm water and open sky.
This tour is perfect if you want to disconnect from city loudness, get close to nature, and enjoy a peaceful day on water with subtle charm.
Sunset, Heritage & Water: Special Experience Tours
Sunset Point & Heritage: Sunset-Cruise + Heritage Visit
We also offer unique combos — where you combine heritage exploration with the romance of a river-sunset.
- For example: the Sunset-Cruise + Heritage visit packages that cover heritage estates (like Baliati Zamindar Bari) and a sunset cruise along a river — giving you a mix of history, architecture, water, and golden hour glow.
- Imagine strolling through old palaces — red-brick walls, vintage charm — then heading to a riverbank, watching the sun dip, listening to water, feeling the breeze. Perfect for couples, friends, photographers, or anyone in need of inspiration and calm.
- Meals, transport and cruise all arranged by Holiday Haven Ventures — you just show up and enjoy.
This is a dreamy option for those who want a picturesque, poetic day — memories that linger long after the tour ends.
