Overview

The Halong Bay Day Tour by Diamond Era Cruise lasts about 11 to 12 hours, including round-trip limousine bus transfers between Hanoi and Halong via the expressway. Guests are picked up from hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter between 7:45 and 8:20 am or meet at Hanoi Opera House at 8:20 am. The bus stops for a 15-minute break in Hai Duong around 10:30 am. Arrival at Halong International Port is around 11:45 am, where guests board the Diamond Era Cruise, which has a capacity of 130 passengers and two large restaurants on the upper deck. A welcome drink is served on board before the cruise departs. From 12:00 to 1:00 pm, a buffet lunch with more than 35 dishes is served, including Vietnamese, seafood, Western, and vegetarian options. The cruise sails through Halong Bay, passing limestone formations such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and Thumb Rock. The first stop is Sung Sot Cave on Bo Hon Island. Guests walk about 200 steps through the forest to explore the largest cave in the bay, spending around 45 minutes inside. Those who prefer not to walk can stay on the sundeck. Next, the boat moves to Luon Cave, where guests can kayak or take a bamboo boat ride in the lagoon for about an hour. The tour then continues to Titop Island for one hour. Visitors can swim, relax on the beach, or hike halfway up Titop Mountain to enjoy panoramic views of Halong Bay. The return cruise includes a one-hour sunset party on the sundeck with tea, cake, music, and access to a jacuzzi pool. The English-speaking tour guide accompanies guests throughout the trip. All entrance fees, activities, welcome drink, and bottled water on the bus are included. The bus departs Halong around 6:00 pm, with a short 20- to 30-minute break en route, and returns to Hanoi between 9:00 and 9:30 pm, dropping guests off at their hotels or the original meeting point.
