Itinerary

Sung Sot Cave

one hour Admission included

Explore the magnificent Sung Sot Cave, one of the largest and most impressive caves in Ha Long Bay. Walk through vast chambers filled with stunning limestone formations, stalactites, and stalagmites shaped over millions of years. As you move deeper inside, you’ll discover dramatic natural “rooms” and unique rock formations that live up to the cave’s name, meaning “Surprising Cave.” A highlight of the visit is the scenic viewpoint near the exit, offering panoramic views over the bay.
Hang Luon Cave

one hour Admission included

Visit the peaceful Luon Cave, a hidden lagoon surrounded by towering limestone cliffs. You can explore this tranquil area by kayaking or taking a traditional bamboo boat rowed by local fishermen, gently passing through the cave’s low arch into a serene, enclosed bay. Paddle through calm emerald waters, enjoy the quiet natural scenery, and if you’re lucky, spot playful monkeys climbing on the surrounding cliffs.
Ti Top Island

one hour Admission included

Stop at Titop Island, one of the most popular highlights in Ha Long Bay. Here, you can relax on a sandy beach, swim in the clear waters, or climb to the top of the island for a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay. The short hike to the summit is rewarded with stunning scenery—perfect for photos. Whether you prefer to unwind by the beach or enjoy a bit of adventure, Titop Island offers a memorable experience for every traveler.
Hon Ga Choi Island

Passing by

Admire the iconic Fighting Cocks Islet (Hon Ga Choi), one of the most famous symbols of Ha Long Bay. Rising dramatically from the emerald waters, the two limestone rocks resemble a pair of fighting roosters facing each other. This unique formation has become a cultural icon of Vietnam and a favorite photo spot for visitors cruising through the bay.
Hon Dinh Huong Island

Passing by

Admire Dinh Huong Islet (Incense Burner Islet), a unique limestone formation rising from the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay. Shaped like a giant incense burner, it holds deep cultural and spiritual meaning in Vietnam, symbolizing respect and offerings to ancestors and the heavens. This iconic islet is also featured on the Vietnamese 200,000 VND banknote, making it a memorable highlight and a perfect photo stop during your cruise.
