Cruise Itineraries
Full day
Full Day: Hanoi - Halong Bay - Sung Sot Cave - Luon Cave - Titop Island
Morning
7:30: We will pick you up at your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter to Tuan Chau International Marina by our shuttle service (book in the next step with an additional fee).
If you go to Halong Bay by yourself, please arrive on time at Tuan Chau International Marina, Halong Bay, around 11:30 - 11:45.
You will embark on Light Cruise and enjoy the beautiful landscape of Halong Bay with a welcome drink while sailing leisurely in the heart of the Wonderful Heritage of the World.
A delicious lunch with delicious seafood dishes will be served on the cruise. Please enjoy your meal and adore the breathtaking scenery of the famous Fighting Cocks Islet along the emerald water of this Wonderland.
Afternoon
The first stop for sightseeing is Sung Sot Cave, the largest cave in Halong Bay, discovered by a group of French explorers in the early 1900s. To get inside this stunning cave, you have to climb more than 100 steps of stairs, so this is such a wonderful adventure for those keen on natural breath.
The second attraction is Luon Cave. If Halong Bay is famous for various special caves, this is a signature example of that. The only way to discover this stunning cave is by bamboo boat or kayaking. Because of the unique water topography and limited height, you must crawl through the cave by boat. (Luon means crawl in Vietnamese).
Continue moving to Titop Island, one of the most significant islands in Halong Bay, which owns the most beautiful beach - Vang Trang (Moon Beach). You can either enjoy the bay view from the peak or immerse yourself in the cool and calm tutorial water.
After coming back to the ship, you can relax or join some exciting activities on board, such as enjoying afternoon tea and participating in the cooking demonstration onboard to learn how to make traditional Vietnamese cuisine.
Time to say goodbye to the cruise team and disembark Light Cruise around 18:00 and prepare for return to Hanoi.
Evening
If using our transit, the driver will pick you up at the harbor and transfer you back on the new highway to Hanoi. At 20:30, we arrived at Hanoi and also the end of the trip.

Hi there! You mean the Roygent Parks Hanoi? As this hotel isn't in Hanoi Old Quarter, there will be a surcharge for picking up. We suggest you should take a Grab car to the meeting point in the Old Quarter for transfer to Halong.

Our hotel assisted us in finding Light Cruises, and we could not be more pleased—excellent WhatsApp communication and booking convenience. Refreshments were plentiful, and the service was friendly and courteous. We were astounded to have the entire boat to ourselves--truly great. The captain did an excellent job getting us off the usual path and quietly enjoying the late afternoon. I strongly suggest the luxurious day boat. Less
While in Halong Bay, we had the good fortune to discover Light Cruise. We were treated like VIPs from the minute we were picked up in our private car.
The boat itself is spacious, well-maintained, and modern. We visited in April and the caves and Ha Long Bay are incredibly serene—at times.

Our accommodations were in a hotel located in the heart of Ha Long City. To take the cruise, we were transported to Tuan Chau Island, which was just ten minutes away, via a private vehicle. A large, luxurious boat that exceeded our expectations greeted us upon arrival. The cruise ship was immaculate, brand-new, spacious, and had a lovely sundeck. If we take other boats into consideration, I believe this was the best boat for a day trip. Lunch was a delectable seafood meal, and on the way back, we were given tea, cakes, and fruits. I really enjoy Surprising Cave for its distinct beauty, and I also did some hiking and kayaking. It was all just perfect. Highly suggested. Less
We enjoyed a beautiful day trip with Light Cruise around Halong Bay. The boat was nice, food was tasty, the crew was kind and supportive. We will come back next year.
Great tour. Nice lunch. Excellent guide. A really comfortable boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip! It was also pleasant to be on a boat that wasn't overly crowded.
