Our one-day Halong Bay tour was simply incredible! Everything was well-organized — from the comfortable pickup in Hanoi to the smooth cruise across the bay. The scenery was breathtaking from start to finish. Sailing past the emerald waters surrounded by towering limestone karsts felt like being in another world. We first visited the Surprising (Sung Sot) Cave, one of the most impressive caves I’ve ever seen! It’s huge and beautifully illuminated, with fascinating rock formations that look like sculptures created by nature. Then came Luon Cave, where we had the chance to kayak or take a bamboo boat through a peaceful lagoon surrounded by cliffs. It was calm, quiet, and so close to nature — definitely one of the highlights of the day. Finally, we stopped at Titop Island, where we hiked up to the viewpoint for a panoramic view of Halong Bay — absolutely breathtaking! After that, a quick swim at the island’s beach was the perfect way to end the trip. Lunch on the cruise was delicious with fresh seafood and Vietnamese dishes, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. If you only have one day to experience Halong Bay, this tour is the perfect choice — it truly captures the beauty, culture, and charm of Vietnam’s most famous destination

I joined this Ha Long Bay day trip and had an incredible experience! From the hotel pickup in Hanoi to the drop-off in the evening, everything was smooth and well-coordinated. Our tour guide was super friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable. Even though I came alone, the group was very welcoming, and I met some amazing people on the boat. The cruise itself was beautiful — clean, spacious, and modern. Lunch was delicious, with plenty of options including fresh seafood. I loved kayaking through the peaceful bay and exploring the stunning Sung Sot Cave. The view from Ti Top Island was absolutely worth the climb! I never felt rushed, and there was enough time to enjoy each stop. It was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and stunning scenery. Highly recommended for travelers looking for a fun, safe, and memorable day in Ha Long Bay!

The cruise was excellent from start to finish – comfortable transfer, modern boat, and a well-planned itinerary. We enjoyed kayaking, visiting caves, and the panoramic view from Titop Island. Lunch was delicious and the staff were professional and friendly. A perfect way to experience Ha Long Bay in just one day – highly recommended!

This tour was a good experience, however having it compressed into one day definitely made it less relaxing than anticipated. Would recommend doing an overnight stay in Ha Long Bay to truly appreciate it. The bus pick up was comfortable although a long journey. We did not like the stop off at the tourist trap on the side of the road. Being forced to get off the bus and wait around half an hour was not ideal. The food and shopping at this top off were poor quality and terribly overpriced. The boat itself was nice, although a bit dated. The buffet was good not great, and the drinks were okay and reasonably priced.
