Day 01
Hà Nội to Tuan Chau Harbor and Ha Long Bay Cruise
- 8:00 - 8:30 am: Pick up from your hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter area and depart for Halong, with a short rest stop on the way.
- 11:30 - 12:00 pm: Arrive at Tuan Chau Harbor, receive a welcome aboard, and attend a safety briefing. The cruise then takes you on a 5-hour journey along a 2-day sleeper boat cruise route, renowned for its striking passages and uninhabited islets and outcrops. Many of these have been given imaginative names by locals based on their shapes, including Cock Fighting and Thumb, while you enjoy a mouth-watering Vietnamese lunch on board.
- 1:45 - 2:00 pm: Arrive at the Bo Hon archipelago, where you will visit Surprising Cave to see numerous stalagmites and stalactites shaped like different sea creatures. Then continue to Luon Cave for kayaking or a bamboo boat ride to discover the beautiful lagoon. After that, visit Titop Island, with its sandy beach beside a towering limestone mountain that creates an excellent backdrop to the bay, and climb Titop Peak for a panoramic view of this bay-like paradise.
- 4:30 pm: Return to the cruise and head back toward the harbor. There is plenty of time to sunbathe on the upper deck, listen to music, and enjoy the fun atmosphere with your group amid one of the world's iconic natural landscapes.
- 5:30 - 6:00 pm: Disembark and board the bus for the return journey to Hanoi, with a short break on the way.
- 8:00 - 8:30 pm: Drop off at your hotel or stay. Trip ends.
