Full description

After getting picked up from your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter in the morning, enjoy a scenic 3.5-hour drive to Halong Bay, with a break stop halfway along the journey. Around midday, arrive in Tuan Chau Island, where you will board your boat.

Once on board, sit down to a traditional Vietnamese seafood lunch as you cruise around uniquely shaped rocks. You will see rocks shaped like incense burners and fighting cocks along the way.

In the afternoon, explore the most beautiful grotto in Halong Bay before boarding a bamboo boat to discover the picturesque Luon Cave. Finally, head to Titop Island. Enjoy a swim in the island’s crystal-clear waters or relax on white-sand beaches before heading back to the harbor and beginning the journey back to Hanoi.
