Set off early from Hanoi (or join in Ha Long) and begin your adventure with a scenic drive along the new highway. Upon arrival at Tuan Chau Marina, step aboard your luxury 5-star cruise where panoramic views of emerald waters and towering limestone karsts await. While cruising past iconic formations like Hon Ga Choi — the symbol of Ha Long Bay — you’ll enjoy a buffet lunch featuring traditional Vietnamese cuisine with plentiful options to fuel your day.
Your first stop is the spectacular Sung Sot Cave, also known as Surprise Cave — the largest and most impressive cave in Ha Long Bay. Walk through its dramatic chambers filled with fascinating stalactites and stalagmites (about 40–60 minutes of easy walking and stairs). Next, enjoy water activities at Luon Cave, where you can go kayaking or choose a relaxing bamboo boat ride through tranquil waters. These experiences bring you close to nature and let you soak in the atmosphere of the bay like never before.
Continue to the stunning Ti Top Island, famous for its crescent-shaped beach and crystal-clear water. Here you’ll have free time to swim, relax on the sandy beach, or hike up for a panoramic view of the breathtaking bay — perfect for photo opportunities and peaceful moments. Remember that boats cannot anchor directly at the beach, so follow the guide’s instructions and return to the meeting point on time.
As the day winds down, relax on board with refreshing drinks, fruit and cakes during the sunset party. Share stories with new friends, enjoy the cooling breeze, and soak in those final golden hour views of Ha Long Bay’s magical landscape. Afterward, return to Tuan Chau Marina and either end your trip there or head back to Hanoi — arriving in the evening with unforgettable memories.
