THE ITINERARY 

Your Halong Bay adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your Hanoi Old Quarter hotel. Relax in our comfortable vehicle as we journey along the new highway, making a brief stop en route to stretch your legs.

Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Harbor, board our traditional junk boat, your home for the next 5 hours. As we set sail, feast your eyes on the mesmerizing landscape of Halong Bay. Limestone karsts rise majestically from emerald waters, each with a story to tell. Our guide will share fascinating local legends about uniquely shaped islets like "Cock Fighting" and "Thumb" while you enjoy a delicious Vietnamese lunch on board.

Our first stop is the magnificent Surprise Cave (Sung Sot Cave). Marvel at the intricate formations of stalagmites and stalactites, each a natural work of art shaped over millennia. Next, choose your adventure: glide through the hidden lagoon of Luon Cave by kayak or traditional bamboo boat, immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of the bay.

The journey continues to Titop Island, where you can relax on the sandy beach or challenge yourself with a climb to the island's peak. Your reward? A breathtaking panoramic view of Halong Bay that will leave you speechless.

As we cruise back to the harbor, unwind on the upper deck. Feel the gentle sea breeze as you listen to music, chat with new friends, and soak in the last views of this natural wonder.

Our return journey to Hanoi is a perfect time to reflect on the day's adventures. You'll be dropped off at your hotel, filled with unforgettable memories of Halong Bay's beauty and culture.
