Pick-up & Travel Time
Your friendly guide and driver will warmly welcome you at your hotel in Ha Noi. Begin the journey to Ha Long Bay, approximately 160 km from Ha Noi and around 2.5–3 hours by road. Along the way, enjoy a short refreshment and restroom break before continuing to Ha Long, where your private canoe awaits for the journey across the bay.
Highlights & Activities
Board your private canoe and begin your journey across the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its spectacular limestone islands and karsts rising dramatically from the sea.
Explore Thien Cung Cave (Heavenly Palace Cave), one of the bay’s most impressive limestone caves, known for its magnificent chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Continue to Dau Go Cave, a vast natural cavern with fascinating rock formations and historical stories connected to the bay.
Cruise among some of Ha Long Bay’s most recognizable limestone formations, including Stone Dog Islet (Hon Cho Da), Incense Burner Islet (Hon Dinh Huong), and the famous Fighting Cocks Islets (Hon Ga Choi) – one of the iconic symbols of Ha Long Bay.
Enjoy a Vietnamese lunch at a floating restaurant, surrounded by the peaceful scenery of the bay – a unique opportunity to relax and enjoy your meal right on the water. Continue your adventure with a kayak or traditional bamboo boat experience, gently exploring the calm waters and hidden cave areas surrounded by towering limestone cliffs.
