Overview

Ha Long Bay is known for its limestone karsts and emerald waters. This full-day boat tour starts with pickup by air-conditioned bus from Hanoi's Old Quarter, traveling about three and a half hours to Ha Long Bay. Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Island, guests board the boat and enjoy a seafood lunch with vegetable options while cruising past islands such as Incense, Bunner, and Cock Fighting. The tour includes a visit to Sung Sot Cave, the largest and longest cave in Ha Long Bay, where visitors have about an hour to explore the stalactites and rock formations. Afterward, guests can kayak or take a bamboo boat for 45 minutes at Luon Cave, a water cave surrounded by cliffs. The next stop is Ti Top Island, famous for its beach and hiking trail to Ti Top Peak, where panoramic views of the bay can be taken. Swimming at the crescent-shaped beach is also possible. In the late afternoon, a sunset party takes place on the boat with tea, fruit, and French fries served. The boat returns to Ha Long Harbor around 5:45 PM, followed by the bus ride back to Hanoi, arriving at the Old Quarter by about 8:30 to 8:45 PM. The tour includes round-trip transfers within the Old Quarter, admission fees, lunch, bottled water, and the boat trip itself. Kayaking and bamboo boat rides are included, with some options excluding kayaking. Pickup and drop-off are only within the Old Quarter area.
