What to expect

Take part in this private full-day tour in Halong Bay with a guide and roundtrip transportation from Hanoi!

In the morning, you'll be collected at your accommodation in Hanoi and brought to the Halong tourist pier (2-hour drive). After boarding the cruise (sharing cruise) you'll start your relaxing and wonderful journey through the World Nature Heritage Halong Bay, passing bizarre rock formations, such as the Dinh Huong (the Incense Urn), Cho Da (the Stone Dog), islands with sandy beaches, and Ga Choi (the Fighting Roosters) islets. You'll discover Halong Bay, listed as a World Heritage of outstanding natural beauty, known in Vietnamese as “Dragon descending to the sea“. The picturesque Halong Bay has more than 3,000 limestone islets rising from the clear emerald water, many of them containing beautiful grottoes.

You'll then visit Thien Cung and Dau Go grottoes, situated on the southwest side of the bay. The way to Thien Cung grotto is covered on both sides by a thick forest. After entering a narrow gate, the grotto’s 130-meter-long girth opens up. Get astonished in front of the beauty which is made from the stalactites! On the east wall of the grotto, there is a grandiose and imposing picture with characters of tales. This grotto is one of the most beautiful ones in Halong Bay. Bring along swimwear and towels, as you may want to go for a refreshing swim in the bay if the weather permits it.

In the late afternoon, drive to Hanoi and visit to Dong Trieu ceramic village en route.
