Itinerary
From 7:30 - 8:00am: We will pick you up at designated area. You'll then begin a 2.5-3 hour journey to Quang Ninh Province via the expressway, with a short stop along the way to stretch your legs. Before boarding the cruise, you'll also have the chance to visit a local pearl farm and learn about the traditional pearl-cultivating process.
Arrive at Ha Long Bay and board your cruise from Tuan Chau Marina. Savor a delicious Vietnamese set-menu lunch (mainly seafood, vegetarian options available) while the boat gently glides past thousands of majestic limestone karsts rising from emerald waters such as Dog Rock, Incense Burner Islet, and the iconic Fighting Cock Islet — the proud symbol of Ha Long Bay.
First stop is Sung Sot Cave, renowned as the largest and most breathtaking cave in Ha Long Bay, with stunning rock formations and expansive chambers waiting to be discovered.
Next, head to Titop Island, a perfect spot to take a refreshing swim or relax on white sandy beach, or challenge yourself with a short hike 500 steps to the island’s peak, where a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay awaits.
Your last stop is Luon Cave, a serene water cave embraced by towering limestone cliffs. Glide through the calm emerald waters on a kayak or a traditional bamboo boat — both included in your tour.
After an active day, it’s time to relax and take in the stunning sunset over the bay. Enjoy a complimentary selection of Vietnamese tea, seasonal fruits, and local red wine served on board. Enjoy the return sail back.
Get back to the port and board the bus to return to Hanoi. The driver and tour guide will drop you off old quarter area about 20:30 - 21:00pm.

Great Trip so much fun, best host - Ken! Took me on the speedboat and through the caves was just the most fun and such beautiful views!
such an amazing experience, i would absolutely do it again
Alex was a terrific tour guide, he spoke amazing english, and gave us a great time. He came up to the group of friends i was with multiple times checking to see how we were enjoying everything and seeing if we needed anything additional. He also made it a point to take photos of us at good spots and let us know where the cool stuff was! He made our trip a very memorable time and i'm unbelievable grateful for that!
Amazing experience! Crazy views and memory for a lifetime! We booked it 2 hours before. The only one that does it half day. Still covers all main parts of Ha Long Bay like viewpoint, beach, cave and speedboat. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Ken Hoang for entertaining explanation of sights! Overall, good value for money and I definitely recommended this to everyone!
Recommendable Cruise ship. Their services are excellent
We had a very good experience , the crew was amazing and the planning was perfect for each activity.
The experience was very nice and our guide, Ken, was a golden guy!
Beautiful tour, beautiful boat, a bit stressful because it takes up your whole day. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the stop at the beach, dirty, ugly sea and too many people, total chaos. Beautiful bay 😊👍
