Detailed itinerary

1

Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Quang Ninh Province, northern Vietnam. Famous for its breathtaking natural beauty, the bay features over 1,600 limestone islands and islets rising dramatically from emerald green waters.

Formed over millions of years, the karst landscape of Ha Long Bay creates a surreal seascape of towering cliffs, hidden caves, floating fishing villages, and quiet lagoons. Popular attractions include Sung Sot Cave, Luon Cave, Ti Top Island, and floating markets.

Ha Long Bay is a top destination for cruises, kayaking, cave exploration, and photography, offering a perfect blend of natural wonder and cultural charm.

Stop 2 Pass by

Hon Ga Choi Island, also known as Fighting Cocks Islet or Trong Mai Islet, is one of the most iconic natural landmarks in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. This distinctive formation features two towering limestone rocks, each approximately 12 meters high, that resemble a rooster and a hen facing each other. Over time, these formations have become a symbol of Ha Long Bay and are often featured in tourism materials and even on Vietnam's 200,000 VND banknote.

Stop 3

Sung Sot Cave is one of the most famous and impressive caves in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Located on Bồ Hòn Island, it’s a must-see destination for travelers exploring the bay.
Highlights:
Two Large Chambers: The cave consists of two main chambers. The first chamber is spacious, resembling a grand hall, and the second opens up even more dramatically, filled with stunning rock formations.
Stalactites and Stalagmites: The cave features an extraordinary variety of stalactites and stalagmites, naturally formed over millions of years. Many formations resemble familiar shapes like animals or mythical creatures, sparking visitors’ imaginations.

Panoramic Views: After exploring the cave, visitors are rewarded with a short hike to a viewpoint offering breathtaking views of Halong Bay’s limestone islands and emerald waters.
Lighting Effects: Inside, the cave is artistically lit with multicolored lights, enhancing the surreal beauty of the rock formations and making the experience even more magical.

4

Luon Cave is one of Halong Bay’s most serene and unique natural attractions, offering a peaceful contrast to the grandeur of larger caves like Sung Sot. It’s especially known for its tranquil scenery and access by boat or kayak.
Unlike other caves, Luon Cave has a low, arched limestone entrance that you can only pass through by small boat or kayak—larger vessels cannot enter.
Hidden Lagoon: Passing through the short tunnel (about 60 meters), you enter a quiet, enclosed circular lagoon surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and lush vegetation. It feels like a secret world, completely cut off from the bay.
No Walking Inside: This is not a walk-through cave like others. The beauty of Luon Cave lies in the experience of gliding through it, listening to birds chirping and seeing monkeys, orchids, and possibly wild goats on the cliffs above.
Ideal for Kayaking: Luon Cave is one of the best spots in Halong Bay for kayaking, offering calm, clear water and stunning reflections of the cliffs.

5

Ti Top Island (also spelled Titov Island) is one of the most popular and picturesque stops in Halong Bay, Vietnam. It offers a perfect combination of stunning natural beauty, panoramic views, and a relaxing beach.
Ti Top is one of the few islands in Halong Bay with a naturally white, sandy beach. The beach is small but clean and ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or just relaxing by the calm emerald waters.
A steep stone staircase (about 400 steps) leads to a viewing platform at the top of the island. The climb is a bit of a workout, but the reward is a spectacular 360-degree view of Halong Bay’s iconic limestone karsts and scattered islets.
The viewpoint at the summit is one of the most photographed locations in Halong Bay, especially at sunrise or sunset.
Besides swimming, some tours offer kayaking around the island, allowing visitors to explore nearby coves and rock formations.
