Itinerary
Step into the magical Surprising Cave, the largest and most spectacular cave in Halong Bay. Walk along a stone pathway surrounded by lush greenery before entering a world of shimmering stalactites and stalagmites that resemble dragons, swords, and mythical creatures. Inside, enjoy the refreshing cool air and admire the stunning natural “theater” created by nature over millions of years. At the end of your visit, step out onto a natural balcony for one of the best panoramic views over Halong Bay — the perfect spot for photos and unforgettable memories.
Discover the tranquil beauty of Luon Cave, one of Halong Bay’s most unique attractions. Accessible only by kayak or bamboo boat, this small water tunnel opens into a secluded lagoon, where emerald waters are embraced by steep limestone mountains and lush greenery. As you glide under the arch-shaped cave entrance, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, listen to the sounds of nature, and watch for playful monkeys on the cliffs. Perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation, Luon Cave offers a magical experience that combines kayaking, photography, and close encounters with Halong Bay’s untouched nature.
Titop Island is a must-visit highlight of Halong Bay, offering both adventure and relaxation in one stop. Hike up nearly 400 steps to the island’s summit, where a viewing deck rewards you with one of the most spectacular 360° panoramas of the bay. After the climb, unwind on the island’s crescent-shaped sandy beach — perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the emerald waters that surround you. Whether you’re seeking stunning photos, light adventure, or a peaceful escape, Titop Island is the perfect addition to your Halong Bay journey.
After activities, enjoy the sunset with some fruits, cookies, tea and wine

Fantastic Ha Long Bay day trip! Everything was perfectly organized and everything on time and there's enough time for each site – we enjoyed swimming, kayaking, a beautiful cave, and stunning viewpoints. The service on the cruise was excellent, and our guide Tung was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend!
I am on my way back to the hotel from the trip and I I'm still in awe of the day I got to spend today with the tour company. I feel like I experienced a week worth of adventure in one day. Everything from the bus ride (pearl making stop, guide) to the cruise (food, jacuzzi) to the kayak ride to the cave exploration to hike up the island was just amazing. I get to meet some amazing people today and I feel I have known them forever with the adventures we did together. I highly recommend this trip and if you're in Hanoi and reading this review this is your sign to go ahead and book the tour ing. And experience the adventure of a lifetime. Thank you to our tour guide Tung for making our day so much fun. Cheers!
Best tour guide ‘Tung’ with vast knowledge and enthusiastic figure! Great driver, safe pickup and drop off. Smooth driving all along Would definitely recommend
I was culturally enlightened through this experience and it was really well led by Tung, he made it really enjoyable.
The tour was amazing! Tung our tour guide single handedly saved me while I was drowning after I had one too many Bia Saigon. He then let me borrow his Ferrari so I could meet up with my missus. He still hadn’t asked it back yet. Truly a stand up fella, deserves a raise.
