Overview

This full-day boat tour from Hanoi covers key sights in Halong Bay over about 10 hours. The tour includes a hotel pickup in Hanoi and travel by private car along the expressway to the bay, located 175 kilometers away. Participants join a group cruise that offers lunch onboard, tickets for all included stops, and the option to kayak or ride a bamboo boat. The boat stops first at Hon Ga Choi Island, known for its distinctive karst islets. Next is Hon Dinh Huong Island, famous for its shape that resembles an incense burner and its image on the 200,000 VND bill. The tour then visits Ba Hang village, where travelers can kayak through emerald waters or take a rowing boat to Ba Hang Cave, a series of three connected caves accessible when the water level is high. The cave leads to a lake surrounded by rocky mountains. The final stop is Dong Thien Cung (Heavenly Palace Cave), the largest cave in Halong Bay with an area of 10,000 square meters. It features multiple floors, a high ceiling, and a variety of stalactites and stalagmites with unique shapes. Swimming is not part of the itinerary due to time limits, and the tour does not include transfer back to Hanoi the next day. Kayaking is included only in the all-inclusive option.
