Please you are ready at Tuan Chau Port at 11:30am.
OPTION 2 & 3 : PICK UP FROM HANOI OLD QUARTER ( PICK UP TIME FROM 7:30 - 8:35 AM)
Due to the ban on buses picking up passengers on some streets between 6:30 and 8:30 from 1 March 2025, we may ask you to come to a meeting point depending on your location. Pickup is from 7:30 am to 8:35 am.
Depart to Ha Long Bay via the new highway and stop for a short break on the way. Visit a local pearl farm before boarding the cruise.
Arrive at Tuan Chau Port and get on the boat. While enjoying a buffet lunch of traditional Vietnamese cuisine, cruise past iconic limestone islands such as Hon Cho Da, Hon Trong Mai, and especially Hon Ga Choi – the symbol of Ha Long Bay.
The first stop is Sung Sot Cave, the largest and most impressive cave in the bay.
⚠️ Note: Visiting the cave involves 40 minutes to 1 hour of walking, including stairs. If you have mobility issues, feel free to relax on the boat instead.
Continue to Hang Luon, a water cave where you can go kayaking (2 people per kayak) , enjoy a bamboo boat ride (10 - 12 people per boat), or simply relax onboard.
Next is Titop Island, where you'll have free time to explore on your own – swim at the beach or hike to the top for a panoramic view of the bay.
⚠️ Important: Boats are not allowed to anchor at Titop Island. After dropping you off, the guide will stay on the boat, which must temporarily leave the area. The boat will return to pick you up at the scheduled time, so please follow the guide’s instructions and be back at the pier on time.
Wrap up the day with a sunset party onboard with tea, juice, cakes or cookies, and fruits.
Return to Tuan Chau port around 6:00pm . Get off the Boat.
