About this activity

After hotel pickup in the morning, it's about a 4-hour drive from Hanoi to Halong City where you can observe Vietnamese life and culture passing by.

Arriving at midday, you will board a wooden junk and cruise through the most beautiful place of the bay, all while enjoying a fresh seafood lunch on board.

After lunch, spend 30 minutes on kayak around the islands and water tunnels. Then, visit Thien Cung (Heavenly Palace Grotto) with your guide. Soak up the tranquil charm of Halong Bay, a World Heritage site with thousands of forest-clad limestone formations.

Head back to boat to enjoy afternoon tea for a break before disembarking.

Return to the Halong tourist wharf and take the bus back to Hanoi, with drop-off at your hotel by late evening around 8:30pm.

This trip was incredible! We got picked up in Hanoi, driven out to Halong Bay and taken on the boat. The boat was beautiful and we were served a 10-course lunch with traditional Vietnamese food. Then we were able to get off and kayak in Halong Bay for about 45 minutes which was gorgeous. Then we were taken to the Heaven's Gate cave which was breathtaking. This was one of my absolute favorite parts of our 3 week trip through SE Asia!

The tour bus was too small with limited leg room especially for a 4hr journey either way. Normal sized people had issues Tour guide was more a ticket collector and did no guiding or explaining Execot explaining cost. Didn't wait for the group give clear timings. Lot of waiting around

overall the trip was great. however, it took 5 hours to go and 4 to come back. it is marketed as a 3 hour journey one way. furthermore, everything is great but soliciting tips, and actively so for the driver, the guide, the boat staff, the boat captain doesnt leave a positive impression.

We enjoyed this tour very much. Halong Bay is a stunning place and the scenery was amazing. The kayaking was a lot of fun. Our guide Ziang was very kind and told us many interesting things about Vietnam and its culture and history. He was very enthusiastic. The lunch on the boat was fantastic.

This is a relatively new tour company and they were out to impress and they certainly achieved their goal. From Te our excellent tour guide, the bus driver the modern boat at Halong bay and to the banquet lunch on board which far exceeded my expectations. A great value for money day trip. Highly recommended.
