• Old Quarter - At 08:30, enjoy a private pick-up directly from your hotel in Hanoi with no waiting or shared transfers. Travel comfortably by private car or van along the modern expressway to Ha Long Bay, passing scenic rice fields, rivers, and local countryside along the way. The journey takes approximately 2.5 hours, arriving at Tuan Chau Marina.
• Tuan Chau Island - 11:00 Arrive at Tuan Chau Island, located in the northwest of Halong Bay, 8 km southwest of Ha Long City. Tuan Chau Marina serves as the official gateway to Halong Bay, with the first Marina dedicated to day cruises. You will check in on the Cruise from here.
• Halong Bay - 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. It is time to discover the Bay with 2 thousand islands.
• Hon Ga Choi Island - 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. You will stop here to take pictures and admire the unique limestone rock formation.
• Hon Dinh Huong Island - The Incense Burner is a sacred object used for sacrifice and stands in the middle of Ha Long Bay as if it is sacrificing heaven and earth. It is also a reminder of the good traditions of the nation: drinking water remembering the source; to remember the fathers and sages who have been instrumental in building and preserving and defending the Fatherland; Thank you to the Mother Dragon in the legend - the mascot that helped Dai Viet fight foreign invaders. Incense Burner Island has both a sacred spiritual meaning and a symbol of good luck. The image of Incense Burner Island has been printed on the VND 200,000 banknote in circulation. Stop for taking photos of Incense Burner which is believed to bring fortune.
• Ba Hang - Ba Hang Village captivates visitors with its calm waters, stunning lagoons, and serene atmosphere. While the original fishing village no longer exists—relocated in 2014 to improve fishermen’s livelihoods—the locals still play a vital role, rowing boats for tourists. The old school and small shrines remain as preserved landmarks of its rich history.

Discover Ba Hang’s Hidden Lagoon
When the boat stops at Ba Hang, you can choose one of two activities to explore the serene lagoon, once a safe haven for fishermen during typhoons:

Kayaking: Ideal for adventurers, kayaking lets you navigate the emerald waters, limestone cliffs, and picturesque scenery at your own pace.

Rowing Boat to Ba Hang Cave: Relax on a boat ride through three interconnected caves, accessible when water levels rise just enough for passage. Emerging on the other side, you’ll discover a secluded lake encircled by rocky mountains, offering a breathtaking natural vista.

• Dong Thien Cung - Heading to Thien Cung Cave (Heavenly Palace Grotto), one of the most beautiful caves in Halong Bay. Hike up some steps to discover the cave founded in 1993 by a fisherman. View the spectacular Halong from high. Explore their huge chambers adorned with stalactites and stalagmites of all kinds.
• Old Quarter - End of the boat trip and back to the car for a 2 hours 30 minutes ride back to the Old Quarter in Hanoi. You will be at the hotel in Hanoi around 18:00 to 18:30. Tour ends at your hotel.
