We aim to make pick-ups as punctual as possible, but due to morning traffic in the Old Quarter and the number of hotels to visit, this time is approximate. Please be prepared to help speed up the process.
10:30-10:45 – Short Lavatory Break
A brief rest stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack if you missed breakfast (our driver enjoys a coffee break too!) before we continue our journey.
The duration of this break will depend on the timing of morning hotel pick-ups in Hanoi. If the pick-up process is completed swiftly, we will have more time for the rest stop. -

The cruise departs from Tuan Chau harbor for a delightful journey to explore the beauty of the UNESCO World Heritage site, Ha Long Bay. Along the way, you will pass by the grandeur of the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands, including Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and especially Thumb Rock – a stunning limestone islet rising from the sea in the shape of a giant thumb.

Sung Sot Cave - 13:30-14:30 – Explore Surprising Cave (Sung Sot Cave)
We will stop at Bo Hon Island, where our tour guide will lead you to Sung Sot Cave (Surprising Cave), the largest and most beautiful cave in Ha Long Bay. After about 200 steps through the forest canopy, the entrance of the cave will appear. A paradise will unfold before you.

The cruise heads to Luon Cave. Here, you can get active with kayaking (about 30 minutes) or enjoy the beautiful scenery at Hang Luon with a rowboat, rowed by the local people of Ha Long Bay.

Arcady one day - Hien was a great tour guide.
Trip was well organised and great value for money. Did not feel rushed with plenty of time to see everything. 100% do the kayaking. You do not get that wet.
Glad I did the one day tour.

All round great experience - Great trip, only 26 people on our boat that can fit 99 so it felt very spacious. Johnny was a great guide, very knowledgeable. The value for money is incredible for the quality of what you get. There’s some upselling on the boat for drinks and for the speedboat ride but they’re not at all pushy. I would genuinely recommend this trip and company, ticks all the boxes for the things to see in Ha Long Bay, is organised and easy going. And there’s a good mix of family’s, couples and solo travellers so it’s easy to chat to people.

Strong cocktails & good vibes - Johnny walker was informative and hilarious. The limousine bus was perfect for 6'2 man. First time I had leg room while being transported to an event. The jacuzzi was an hour late, BUT they brought drinks straight to us and happy hour lasted 3 hours. Also, if you go kayaking, put some shrimp in a napkin from the buffet and use it to coax the monkeys to get closer. Trust me, monkeys love shrimp.

Ninh is a great guide - What a tremendous experience with Ninh!!!
Amazing tour guide took us all safely at all times.
I stayed ashore and the boat left without me, fortunately ninh came back and I was able to get back to my family, I was already imagining feeding on wild berries in the fantastic mountain of Halong Bay.
Anecdote for remembrance.
The day has definitely been super complete!
The delicious and varied food, the fun kayaking, and the stop at the beach very nice too.
I recommend it!!!
Thank you!!
