⛵ OUR HA LONG BAY TOURS

Ha Long Bay, located in northern Vietnam, is one of the country’s most iconic natural landmarks. Known for its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands, Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a top choice for those seeking a scenic, slow-paced escape from the city.

🎯 Why Visit Ha Long Bay?

  • UNESCO World Heritage Site – Internationally recognized for its natural beauty and geological significance.
  • Cruise Experiences – Day and overnight cruises allow you to explore the bay, dine onboard, and kayak in quiet coves.
  • Island Exploration – Visit caves, floating villages, and uninhabited beaches dotted throughout the bay.
  • Relaxed Pace – Ideal for travelers looking to unwind, take in views, and enjoy fresh seafood in a peaceful setting.
  • Accessibility – Easily reached from Hanoi in under 3.5 hours by highway or shuttle.

📍 Top Places to Explore

  • Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave – One of the largest and most impressive caves in the bay. Features wide chambers and natural rock formations, accessible via cruise tours.
  • Ti Top Island – Famous for its short hike to the top, offering panoramic views of the surrounding bay. Also has a small beach for swimming.
  • Luon Cave – Best explored by kayak or small boat. Paddle through a low archway into a calm lagoon surrounded by cliffs.
  • Cua Van Floating Village – A traditional fishing village built on the water. Learn about local life and fishing practices, and enjoy a peaceful contrast to busy towns.
  • Bai Tu Long Bay – Located just northeast of Ha Long, this lesser-known area offers similar views but fewer crowds. Many premium cruises visit this route.

🍽️ What to Eat in Ha Long Bay

  • Grilled Squid Cakes (Chả Mực) – A local specialty made with fresh squid, pounded by hand and grilled or fried.
  • Seafood Hotpot – Often served onboard cruises or in local restaurants. Fresh clams, shrimp, crab, and squid cooked in a flavorful broth.
  • Clams with Lemongrass – Steamed and served with chili dipping sauce — simple, fragrant, and satisfying.

🏨 Where to Stay

  • Luxury: Paradise Elegance Cruise – A premium overnight cruise with fine dining, spa services, and sunset views.
  • Mid-range: Athena Cruise – Great balance of price and comfort, offering well-planned routes and local cuisine.
  • Budget: Ha Long Happy Hostel (for land-based stays) – Affordable and clean, located in Ha Long City for travelers not doing overnight cruises.

🚤 Getting Around

  • Cruises – The primary way to experience Ha Long Bay. Options range from 4-hour day trips to 3-day luxury cruises.
  • Shuttle from Hanoi – Most travelers reach Ha Long via organized transfer or private car from Hanoi.
  • Motorbike (in Ha Long City) – For travelers staying on land, this is a good option to explore Bai Chay and the coastal roads.

🚌 Recommended Day Trips

  • Cat Ba Island – Accessible by boat or ferry, Cat Ba offers hiking, beaches, and rock climbing. A great way to extend your trip beyond the bay.
  • Quang Ninh Museum – Located in Ha Long City, this museum covers the province’s history, coal mining heritage, and ethnic culture.

🧭 Explore Other Cities

  • Hanoi – Just a few hours away and the most common gateway to the bay.
