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.

Stop 2

Along the way, you will pass by the grandeur of the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands, including Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and especially Thumb Rock – a beautiful limestone islet rising from the sea in the shape of a giant thumb. Enjoy a huge buffet lunch with a variety of dishes, including seafood and Vietnamese food. Vegetarian options do available in the buffet.

Stop 4

13:30-15:00 – 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.
