3. Sightseeing Excursions

Step off the boat and into adventure with daily shore excursions, included in your cruise package. Your destinations vary depending on which bay you explore.

If you're cruising through Halong Bay, you may visit:

  • Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave) - one of the largest and most famous caves in the bay
  • Ti Top Island - known for its panoramic viewpoint and beach for swimming
  • Luon Cave - explore by kayak or bamboo boat through a serene water tunnel
  • Floating Fishing Village - discover the unique culture of local fishermen
  • Me Cung Cave (Maze Cave) - a lesser-known cave with archaeological significance, offering a peaceful and equally stunning alternative when Surprise Cave becomes too crowded

  • Dark & Bright Cave - a peaceful grotto perfect for kayaking or sampan rides
  • Trung Trang Cave - located in Cat Ba National Park, with impressive stalactites
  • Viet Hai Ancient Village - cycle through lush jungle paths to reach this remote village
