Your Perfect Halong Bay Cruise, Designed Just for You
Why Halong Bay?
Tuan Chau Marina
Tuan Chau Marina, also known as Tuan Chau Harbor, is the busiest and most popular departure point for both day cruises and overnight cruises (2 Days 1 Night or 3 Days 2 Nights) to Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, or Lan Ha Bay. Many cruise companies operate from Tuan Chau and maintain their own private passenger lounges, offering travelers a comfortable place to relax before boarding or disembarking.
Adjacent to Tuan Chau Marina is the Tuan Chau Ferry Terminal, which connects directly to Gia Luan Ferry Terminal on Cat Ba Island. This route provides convenient access to Cat Ba National Park, Trung Trang Cave, Quan Y Cave, and many other popular attractions across the island.
Tuan Chau is also the location for helicopter services to Halong Bay and is geographically closer to Hanoi (Noi Bai Airport) and Hai Phong (Cat Bi Airport), making transfers easier for many visitors.
