Tour Itinerary

Begin your Halong Bay Day Trip with a convenient hotel pickup in Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Relax onboard your comfortable bus as you travel along the modern expressway toward Tuan Chau Island, Halong City, with a short stop halfway for refreshments.

Upon arrival at Tuan Chau International Marina, you will be welcomed aboard your day-cruise. After a brief safety introduction, your journey begins as the boat glides slowly through Halong Bay’s spectacular seascape. Enjoy a delicious Vietnamese seafood lunch while cruising through emerald waters and witnessing iconic limestone formations such as Dog Stone and Burning Incense Islet.

Your Halong Bay 1 day trip continues with a visit to Ba Hang Floating Village, where you can choose between kayaking on your own (two people per kayak) or taking a bamboo boat rowed by a local guide. This is the perfect moment to immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the bay and capture unforgettable photos of the towering cliffs and tranquil waterways.

Experience the natural beauty of Ha Long Bay as you visit and check in at its most iconic islets—towering limestone formations that have become symbols of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Next, explore the impressive Thien Cung Cave (Heavenly Palace Grotto)—famous for its dramatic stalactites, stalagmites, and multi-colored lighting that creates an almost magical atmosphere.

The boat returns to Tuan Chau Harbor, where your bus awaits for the journey back to Hanoi.
