• Hanoi Opera House - 07:45-08:40 – Hotel Pick-Up
  Our friendly English-speaking tour guide will collect guests from various hotels in Hanoi’s Old Quarter between 07:45 AM and 08:40 AM. 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 expedite 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 appreciates a coffee break too!) before we continue the 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.

• Halong Bay - 11:45-12:00 – Boarding the Cruise
  The bus will arrive at Tuan Chau Marina and reach our pier, where our welcoming staff will greet you with a big smile. For guests who have not booked transportation from Hanoi, please be at Tuan Chau International Marina by 11:45 AM.

• Hon Ga Choi Island - 12:00-13:30 – Lunch on Board
  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.
  Enjoy a sumptuous buffet lunch with a variety of dishes, including seafood and Vietnamese cuisine. Vegetarian options are available in the buffet.

• 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. You will explore the cave for about 45 minutes before returning to the cruise. (For tourists who prefer not to walk much, you can stay on the cruise and relax on the sundeck.)

• Hang Luon Cave - 14:30-15:30 – Kayaking Luon Cave
  The cruise heads to Luon Cave. Here, you can get active with kayaking (about 30 minutes) or enjoy the beautiful scenery at Hang Luon (Creepy Cave) with a rowboat, rowed by the local people of Ha Long Bay.

• Ti Top Island - 15:30-17:00 – Titop Island – Titop Beach – Titop Mountain
  We will stop at Titop Island. On this small island, you can climb halfway up the mountain to enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Ha Long Bay. The spectacular sight from above provides an unforgettable experience.
  Alternatively, you can relax and enjoy swimming at Titop Beach, where the clear, refreshing waters offer the perfect opportunity to cool off.

• Halong Bay - 16:30 – Sunset Party
  Enjoy complimentary wine, Vietnamese tea, and fresh fruit as the sunset begins to set, painting the sky in deep reds, purples, and yellows. Relax and take in the scenery as we sail back to the harbor.
