What To Expect
Sung Sot Cave
Step into the magical Surprising Cave, the largest and most spectacular cave in Halong Bay. Walk along a stone pathway surrounded by lush greenery before entering a world of shimmering stalactites and stalagmites that resemble dragons, swords, and mythical creatures. Inside, enjoy the refreshing cool air and admire the stunning natural “theater” created by nature over millions of years. At the end of your visit, step out onto a natural balcony for one of the best panoramic views over Halong Bay — the perfect spot for photos and unforgettable memories.
Hang Luon Cave
Discover the tranquil beauty of Luon Cave, one of Halong Bay’s most unique attractions. Accessible only by kayak or bamboo boat, this small water tunnel opens into a secluded lagoon, where emerald waters are embraced by steep limestone mountains and lush greenery. As you glide under the arch-shaped cave entrance, enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, listen to the sounds of nature, and watch for playful monkeys on the cliffs. Perfect for travelers seeking both adventure and relaxation, Luon Cave offers a magical experience that combines kayaking, photography, and close encounters with Halong Bay’s untouched nature.

5.00Amazing experience with amazing tour. We were lucky having a professional guide who explained every single instruction and provided us with a great and detailed information about Vietnam and ha long bay. He was around with us from the moment we left the hotel until back. The service and the cruise were both great and it worth the trip.

5.00A magical day full of adventure and unforgettable moments. Very well-organized. We got to experience so many things in one day: a cruise, caves, a traditional rowboat and the gorgeous views of Ha Long Bay. Tung, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed the whole experience!

5.00“Very good experience! The tour guide, Tug, was an awesome guy. The cruise itself was very clean and comfortable, with humble and friendly staff. I joined the full-day trip and really enjoyed the cave, the bamboo boat ride, and walking on the beach. It was my first time in Hanoi, and Ha Long Bay gave me so many great memories — truly an unforgettable moment!”- family friendly tour
