- 10:15: Upon arrival at Tuan Chau harbour, check in and board the cruise. The cruise departs from Tuan Chau harbour for an unforgettable journey to discover the beauty of the world heritage site of Ha Long Bay. Along the way, you will pass through the grandeur of the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and especially Thumb Rock - a beautiful limestone islet rising from the seawater in the shape of a giant thumb. Mother Nature has placed Thumb Rock here to send a message of goodness to every passenger cruising in the old bay. Cong Cruise will stop for 5 minutes so all passengers can take pictures of the breathtaking view here. The cruise then continues its joyful journey to Sung Sot Cave.
- 11:45: Discover Sung Sot Cave, the largest and most beautiful cave in Ha Long Bay. The cave also features a variety of uniquely shaped stalagmites that are nowhere else to be found. The path to Sung Sot Cave lies beneath the forest canopy, with stone steps perched on the rocky cliff, delighting you with the pleasure of climbing and the excitement of feeling as if you are heading to the sky.
- 12:30: Back on board, enjoy your delicious lunch with special dishes featuring the unique taste of Vietnamese cuisine while the cruise heads toward the Trinh Nu Cave area, an unspoiled stop with very few boats passing by. This stop is usually designed for 3-day, 2-night tours.
