What To Expect
Your full-day tour of Ha Long Bay from Hanoi begins with a handy pickup from the Old Quarter. Sit back and enjoy the views as you journey from the city through the northern Vietnamese countryside.
After arriving in Ha Long Bay, board a day-cruise ship—you can choose between 4 or 5-hour cruise options. Sail around the UNESCO-listed landscape and admire the views of the impressive karst rock formations. Visit Thien Cung (Heavenly Cave) or Sung Sot (Surprising Cave) with a guide to keep you safe, go kayaking or boating for close-up views of the bay, and enjoy a set-menu seafood lunch.
At the end of the day you’ll be transferred back to Hanoi. Many Ha Long Bay cruises require you to stay overnight but this tour is ideal if you’re short on time because you can see the highlights and still make it back to Hanoi for dinner.

Ha Long Bay is a stunning destination, lush, magical and peaceful.
We spent a really fun day with a very friendly guide and group of other tourists.
Our guide, Toan, facilitated the trip and ensured we had a very nice atmosphere and enjoyed the day. As we were ahead of time, he even improvised a stop in the nearby pearl museum, which was very interesting.
I will recommend to my friends and repeat myself when i return in Hanoi.

What a great experience! And made all the better by out tour guide, Tony, who I will remember for the rest of my life! So informative and funny and kept us together as a team - much love. The visit to pearl farm on the way was really interesting to see and the half hour we were there was the perfect amount of time. Ha Long Bay is just stunning and we got to see it from comfortable chairs on the boat which had a second open roof floor for even better views. The lunch was so delicious I went back for more! Lots of options to choose from in the buffet set up. First stop was TiTop island which is definitely worth the steep climb as the views are incredible at the top (a much needed ice cream once at the bottom though). Second stop was for activities, I chose kayaking which was a magical experience to kayak through a small, slightly crowded, cave into a beautiful wide opening, and of course I had to get a few echoes in. Tony even got some pictures of me coming back in in my kayak and sent them to me later which was lovely as I am solo travelling so can't get many pics of me doing things. Third stop was the largest cave in Ha Long Bay which really was incredible. Tony was so informative here and pointed out all of the stories and shapes you can see on the ceiling or walls. Overall, 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend.
The only downside to be prepared for is the amount of boats in the bay - there are a LOT. But you will get that with any company you're with.

Trip was well organised, timely pick up and drop. First stop is the Pearl farm( To be honest it's overpriced). Halong Bay also known as Descending dragon is a beautiful place, however it's overcrowded and water is polluted with plastic bottles, garbage. Administration must take care of this issue at earliest to preserve such an amazing place.

The best part of the trip was the energetic guide we had who made the whole trip effortless for us. He had a great sense of humour and the energy levels of a small kid.
The whole package was well timed in that in one day we could relish it all without feeling tired.
Last but not the least, the lunch was a great experience and delicious too.

The tour was amazing and our guide Max was very funny and entertaining! We would recommend the tour and Max to anyone wanting to have a great time at Halong Bay!

Did the 5 hour cruise with Kayaking
This was just the right amount of time needed for the visit and a very well put together itinerary.
Our guide was Max and he is extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend this trip and Max as your guide if you’re lucky!

Amazing tour with great food and locations to explore. The timing wasn't too rushed and fun information to learn. Would recommend to all kind of travllers
Timothy_S, Aug 2023
Excellent service from booking to drop off with special thanks to Tony. He was honest about the overnight trip not being worth it. My advice is do the one day trip.
Christopher_K, Jul 2023
Great, experience, must do in Ha Long Bay. Recommend this company. Full day tour and lunch included.

Booked a private tour and Tony was our tour guide. He was so informative and so welcoming to my group of 4. The private tour is well worth it and a must do for Ha Long Bay. We took a quieter route and was able to enjoy everything more with our tour guide and Tony was very knowledgeable on everything he showed us. Lunch was amazing and fresh and the boat crew was very sweet! My group absolutely loved the private tour and had an amazing time. Would book again!
