Ha Long Bay is immensely beautiful, and a must visit place if you are in North Vietnam. This one day excursion from Hanoi is perfectly tailored for tourists who can not spend multiple days & nights on the bay, but would like to explore it and see the main attractions in a day. The tour started in Hanoi, with pick up offered from within the Old Quarter. Those staying outside the old quarter (like yours truly) have to arrive at a pre-determined pickup spot in the morning. The tourists were put in a comfortable minibus and transferred to the Ha Long cruise terminal . The road trip took about 3 hours. Just before reaching the terminal, we were also taken for a short visit to a local pearl farm, where several jewellery items made of natural pearls are available for sale, complete with a genuineness certificate. On boarding the cruise, we were served a very good lunch menu buffet-style (price included within the booking), with additional options available a la carte (need to be paid for). In about one hour of cruising on the bay, we reached the Sung Sot cave, which is a natural cave on one of the islands in the bay. It is a cave with three chambers, connected by narrow passages, with the successive chambers becoming larger in size (the third chamber is insanely large). After the cave, came the optional activity part. I chose to do the Speedboat + Bamboo Boat ride on the bay (kayaking is also available). Note that the price for the optional activity is not included in the original booking, and is to be separately paid for (speedboat + bamboo boat took 300K VND). Speedboat ride allows you to explore parts of the bay not covered by the cruise, while the bamboo boat takes you through a small tunnel into a natural enclosure formed by the karst mountains of the bay. Finally, the last part of the activity involved visiting the Titop island, where one has to either choose between going for a swim on the beach or take a hike up the mountain (it is difficult to manage both because only about 45 minutes are given for the Titop island activity). I chose to go on the hike, which involves climbing about 450 or so steps to the top. The view of the bay from above is exhilarating and is totally worth the exhaustion from climbing :-) While returning back to the cruise terminal, we were offered evening snacks and fruits on the cruise deck, with nice party music playing in the background. From the terminal, we went back to Hanoi, with a short 15 minute break in between the drive. All in all, I highly recommend this experience.
