Itinerary

Hanoi Opera House

Passing by

07:45-08:40 – Hotel Pick-Up

Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter, between 07:45 AM and 08:40 AM. We strive to make pick-ups as timely as possible, but due to morning traffic in the Old Quarter and the number of hotels to collect from, this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite the process.

10:30-10:45 – Short Lavatory Break

A quick rest stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack if you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road to finish the journey.

The length of this break will depend on the timing of morning hotel pick-ups in Hanoi. If the pick-up process is completed quickly, we will have more time for the rest stop.
Halong Bay

Passing by

11:45-12:00 – Boarding the Cruise

13:30-14:30 – Explore Surprising Cave (Sung Sot Cave)

We will stop at Bo Hon Island, where our tour guide will take you to Sung Sot Cave (Surprising Cave), the largest and most beautiful cave in Ha Long Bay. After about 200 steps through the forest canopy, the entrance of the cave will appear. A paradise will unfold before you. You will explore the cave for about 45 minutes before returning to the cruise. (For tourists who cannot walk much, you can stay on the cruise and relax on the sundeck.)
