Overview

This full-day luxury bus and boat tour from Hanoi lasts about 10 to 12 hours and includes transfers, a buffet lunch, and various activities on Halong Bay. The day begins with a hotel pickup in Hanoi’s Old Quarter around 8:15 AM. After a rest stop en route, the group arrives at Tuan Chau Harbor to board a new cruise ship. The cruise follows a route known for its striking limestone islets with names like Cock Fighting and Thumb. Lunch is served on board during the cruise. Stops include a visit to Titop Island where participants can swim at the sandy beach or climb Titop Peak for wide views over the bay. Next is Sung Sot (Surprising) Cave on Bo Hon archipelago, where visitors see stalagmites and stalactites resembling sea creatures. After the cave visit, kayaking or bamboo boat rides in Luon Cave lagoon are available. The cruise continues back toward Tuan Chau Harbor, with time for sunbathing on the upper deck. The day ends with a sunset party on the boat featuring free red wine and fresh fruit. Water is provided on the bus, and an English-speaking guide accompanies the trip. Transfers back to Hanoi drop off passengers at their hotels by about 8:30 PM. Insurance is included, and vegetarian or vegan lunch options can be requested. Tips, beverages, and holiday surcharges are not included.
