Cruise itinerary

Halong Bay Exploration With Budget Day Cruise

After check-in at Halong Cruise Port or Tuan Chau Marina, guests board the cruise and begin a scenic journey through the heart of Halong Bay, passing iconic limestone formations such as Cho Da Islet, Dinh Huong Islet, and Trong Mai Islets (Fighting Cocks Islet).

The first stop is Sung Sot Cave, the largest and most famous cave in Halong Bay, where guests explore impressive chambers filled with stalactites and stalagmites along well-maintained walkways. The cruise then continues to Luon Cave, a peaceful water tunnel leading into a hidden lagoon. Here, guests can choose between kayaking or a traditional sampan boat ride.

Later, the cruise stops at Titop Island, offering time to swim at the crescent-shaped beach or climb to the viewpoint for panoramic views of Halong Bay. Guests then return onboard and enjoy a relaxing cruise back to the harbor, concluding the journey after approximately 4.5-5.5 hours.

Note: Itinerary may be adjusted based on weather, tides, or port regulations. Wi-Fi is available in public areas but may be limited due to the bay’s geography.
