Escape the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and visit one of Vietnam's most spectacular nature spots, the Bay of Ha Long. Sail between the famous limestone rock formations that rise up from under the emerald sea waters and relax in a genuine paradise.
Activity Details
At the indicated time, we'll collect you from your hotel and begin our 3.5-hour journey along the road until arriving at the port of Tuan Chau island, very close to the city of Ha Long. On the way, there will be a brief stop.
When we arrive, we will climb on board a boat to start our cruise around the beautiful Ha Long Bay, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was officially named as one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the world. We will cruise between the iconic tower formations of limestone rock that reach up out of the turquoise ocean waters. From the deck of the boat, you will be able to capture an eternal memory of this setting with your camera.
During the journey, you will enjoy a traditional Vietnamese seafood lunch while admiring the islands of Dinh Huong (Incense burner) and Cho Da (Stone Dog). After lunch, we'll visit Surprise Cave to see different forms of marine life. We'll also visit the impressive Titop Island, which stands out for its paradise-like landscapes.
In the afternoon, we'll take a kayak or bamboo boat tour through Luon Cave to discover the beautiful lagoon. Afterwards, we'll return to the boat to spend more time relaxing at sunset with red wine, tea and cakes. There'll also be music!
After, we will return to Tuan Chau and climb on board the bus that will take you back to your hotel in Hanoi. Arrival is scheduled for 12-13.5 hours after pickup.
Pickup and Drop-off Points
We'll pick you up at your hotel in downtown Hanoi. If you are staying in other accommodations further away, we'll pick you up at Techcombank No. 1 Chợ Gạo, Hanoi.
The tour will end with a transfer to your hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter. If you are staying outside the city center, we'll drop you off at a central location and the guide will help you get a taxi back to your hotel.
Itinerary Adjustments
In the case of heavy rain, kayaking and swimming at Ti-top island will be replaced by trekking to Ti-top mountain peak. Normally the rainy season is in July and August but this year the weather is quite nice!
