Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Hanoi - Halong Bay (Lunch)

08:00-08:45: Get picked up at the hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter/Opera House to depart for Halong Bay.

Our journey follows the Hanoi – Haiphong – Tuan Chau Highway (approximately a 3-hour drive).

On the way, we will stop for a short break of 30 minutes to relax.

12:00: Arrive at Tuan Chau Harbor and board our cruise with a warm welcome from the crew.

Enjoy a welcome drink and then start the excursion to discover the beauty of this world heritage site.

12:30: Enjoy a Vietnamese lunch on the boat (buffet lunch on the luxury cruise; set menu lunch on the deluxe cruise).

While having lunch, the boat will pass by beautiful scenery on both sides, featuring thousands of limestone formations.

14:00: Arrive at Bo Hon Island and visit Sung Sot Cave, the most beautiful cave with numerous stalagmites and stalactites.

14:45: Go kayaking or take a bamboo boat through Luon Cave (Luon Lagoon) to explore the stunning lagoon.

15:15: Visit Titop Island, where you can swim on the sandy beach or trek to the top of the island for panoramic views of Halong Bay.

16:30: Return to the boat for a sunset party (with wine, tea, fruits, and biscuits) while cruising back to the harbor.

18:00-18:15: Arrive back at the harbor. Board the bus and return to Hanoi.

21:00: Get dropped off at the hotel. The tour ends at your hotel or Hanoi Opera House. Overnight in Hanoi.

11h45: Have a buffet lunch in the restaurant with a lot of local foods such as goat meat, fish, chicken, fried rice…. Vegetarian foods are always available in the buffet lunch.

13h00: Visit Trang An which was recognized by UNESCO as A World Heritage Site in 2014. Trang An has a wonderful tunnel cave system so Kong’s Movie Group chose this place for the New Version of Kong in 2016 – “Skull Island”. With 2 hours for the boat trip, you will be persuaded by the beauty here.
