Head deep into the Vietnamese countryside with your private guide and English-speaking guide for the scenic drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay, adjacent to the Gulf of Tonkin. An overnight visit is recommended, but if you are pressed for time, this unique wonder is still within easy reach of Hanoi for the day.
Dotted with scenic limestone karsts, monolithic islands, exciting grottoes waiting to be explored and aquamarine waters, this natural wonder is a must-see for visitors to Northern Vietnam. Halong Bay roughly translates to Descending Dragon Bay in Vietnamese, and tales of local lore depict dragons as the protectors of this national treasure, famous for its unique geomorpholog.
On arrival, enjoy a 4-hour cruise through the bay sailing past the picturesque islands of Hon Cho Da, Hon Dinh Huong, and Hon Ga Choi and enjoy a delicious seafood lunch on board. After lunch, you and your private guide will explore lesser-visited island and grottoes. Delve into grandeur of Dau Go cavern, and marvel at the stalactites and stalagmites of Thien Cung cave. After a memorable day on the water, settle in for your transfer back to Hanoi.
