Towering limestone pillars and tiny islets topped by forest rise from the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1994, Halong Bay's scatter of islands, dotted with wind- and wave-eroded grottoes is a vision of ethereal beauty and, unsurprisingly, northern Vietnam's number one tourism hub.

Pass by

Tuan Chau Island is located in the north-west of Halong Bay, 8 km south-west of Ha Long City. Tuan Chau Marina is an official gateway to Halong Bay, the first Marina is for day cruises

Admission included10 min

A distinctive pair of karst islets jutting out from the calm waters of Halong Bay; the unique Hon Ga Choi Island (Fighting Cocks Island) has become one of the bay’s most memorable landmarks and among the most photographed attractions for cruise visitors. Located right in the heart of the bay, the jagged rock formations loom 12 meters over the water, improbably perched on narrow, weatherworn bases and appearing to lean towards each other

Admission included45 min

Heaven Palace Cave (Thien Cung Cave) has ‘cauliflower’ limestone growths as well as stalactites and stalagmites.

45 min

Ba Hang village attracts many tourists not only by the peaceful, simple atmosphere but also by the charming natural scenery here. Kayaking to explore the area. For adventurous travelers that want to discover this attraction freely, kayaking will be the perfect choice. Let's leisurely sail through the emerald water and witness the charming landscape of Ba Hang with limestone mountains, natural scenery, and cool air. Or Get on a rowing boat to visit Ba Hang Cave. To enjoy the marvelous scenery here, boating is an activity you cannot ignore as your hands are free to take photos and admire the scenery. There are 3 interconnected underground caves in Ba Hang when the water rises just enough, boats can go through the shoal to get in.

Dragonfly Cruise, bamboo tour and lunch was one for the books

Thank you for that amazing cruise experience. The bamboo tour was also one of the highlights. Their entire staff, especially Mr. Dong, are very accommodating and made our experience fantastic. Food options for halal meals and vegetarian were made available. Everyone was comfortable, well taken care of, and satisfied. Keep it up.

Your first tour experience

It was our first time on tour, and it was smooth from start to finish. But the cruise ship's fan was broken, it was hot, otherwise OK.

Fun Ha Long Bay Experience

We booked this through Klook. The hotel pick up and drop off was very convenient. Our tour guide, Mr. Hoi, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He was very welcoming and made everyone comfortable. The tour itself was great as well as there is activities for everyone and you don't feel pressured to join if you are not comfortable. They allow you to just stay on the boat to soak up the sights which was quite thoughtful.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for giving us a perfect rating. It is our greatest pleasure to have you here with Dragonfly Cruise, a Brand of Charming Vietnam Travel. We always try to arrange the group in small sizes to make sure everyone has good care from the tour guide. Good space on the bus and cruise to enjoy the most beautiful landscapes of Halong bay in just more than 4 hours on cruise and 3,5 hours*2 on the bus tranfer from Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi. A full day tour all included with free pick up in the Old Quarter would be the best choice for all customers. We look forward to seeing you again.

Day trip to Halong Bay

Had a relaxing and enjoyable day trip to Halong Bay with local guide Lucky Hoi. Good historical background and interesting sharing by Hoi about Halong Bay, who is humorous and spoke good English. Pickup and drop off was very convenient from hotel in Old Quarters. If you are in Hanoi with a free day to spare, highly recommend to consider this day trip.
