Overview

The tour lasts about 12 to 13 hours, starting with a hotel pickup in Hanoi's Old Quarter between 8:45 and 9:00 AM. Participants travel by air-conditioned bus on a new highway for approximately three hours to Tuan Chau Island, the departure point for the cruise. At 12:00 PM, guests board the boat and begin a six-hour cruise through Halong Bay. At 12:30 PM, a traditional Vietnamese seafood lunch is served while sailing past limestone formations such as Incense Burner Islet and Fighting Cock Islet. At 2:00 PM, the boat stops at Surprising Cave, the largest cave in Halong Bay, where visitors can see numerous stalactites and stalagmites. At 3:00 PM, guests may choose to kayak or ride a bamboo boat around the Luon Cave area, a quieter part of the bay. At 3:30 PM, the tour visits Titop Island, where participants can hike to the peak for panoramic views of the bay or swim and relax on the beach. At 4:45 PM, the boat returns to the cruise and guests can enjoy a sunset party on the sundeck with fresh local fruit and wine while cruising back to Tuan Chau harbor. The boat arrives at the harbor at 5:45 PM, and the bus departs for Hanoi. The tour ends with a hotel drop-off around 9:00 PM. The price includes an English-speaking guide, all fees and taxes, bottled water, kayaking or bamboo boat use, lunch, brunch, and air-conditioned transport.
