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.

It was relaxing and pleasant all day. When you go to the top, you can choose to go to the top and play on the beach, but when you go to the top, you can take a towel and a debt. If a man moves, the heat is a huge sweat. And you can get a swimsuit. Shower and shower are available.
