Dinh Huong Islet is one particularly iconic image of Halong Bay and is most famous for its appearance on the back of the 200.000 VND bill! This symbolic islet is comprised of just one ginormous stone jutting out of the sea, but when the tide is low it appears to be standing on four thin stilts. Dinh Huong is named after an incense burner, as its shape is reminiscent of incense burners that are used to honor Vietnamese peoples’ ancestors.

Undisclosed fees

I booked and paid for trip via tripadvisor, we were arranged to meet at the treminal, at this point were were told we had to pay another fee for services, this was 3 times original price. We declined and cancelled. I advised tripadvisor and after a few emails refunded the payment 10/10 to them. Paid at terminal and good trip

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback and for using our services. We are glad to hear that you ultimately had a good trip, but we deeply regret the misunderstanding regarding the tour costs at the terminal. We would like to clarify that the specific option you booked only covers the boat service itself. It does not include the mandatory Halong Bay entrance and sightseeing fees, which must be paid directly to the Halong Bay Management Board. This separation of costs is what led to the unexpected fee at the terminal. While these terms are stated in the booking conditions of the option you selected, we realize you may not have seen them, and our staff failed to explain these conditions clearly to you beforehand. We sincerely apologize for this lack of communication. Moving forward, we are actively improving our product descriptions online to ensure all exclusions are prominent and easily understood. Thank you for your valuable review, which helps us enhance our service clarity. Warm regards, Charming Vietnam Travel Team

Ha Long Bay Cruise Tour

It was a one-day Halong Bay cruise tour! First, I had them picked up in Hanoi and took a bus to Ha Long Bay. Upon arrival, enjoy delicious seafood dishes while enjoying the stunning view of Ha Long Bay from the cruise ship and move to the kayaking station. We kayaked for about 30 minutes, and finally headed to the cave. All the spots were spectacular and I was able to savour the magnificence of nature with my whole body. It was a lot of fun.

Great Way to See Ha Long Bay

Viking made arrangements with the local vendors for us to sail along Ha Long Bay, taking in the beautiful rock formations. Lunch is included and is mostly seafood. Boat is older but reliable. There is a stop at Dong Thien Cung Cave which is amazing to see. If you are on your own, taking this tour is a great way to see Ha Long Bay.
