Full description

This is a experience from Ha Long, built around Ti Top Island and Sung Sot Cave. It is run by CÔNG TY TNHH NINH BINH GETAWAY, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Round-trip transfer from Hanoi with pickup and drop-off, Welcome aboard, tour guide, Entrance fees and sightseeing fees to visit Sung Sot Cave and Sunset party. It does not cover Drinks during the trip, Travel insurance, Kayaking/bamboo boat and Tips for guide, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Good organization (pick-up from the hotel, activities, schedule), beautiful and comfortable boat, nice staff. Our guide Luca (Linh) was very knowledgable, professional and kind. The lunch menu contained both vegetarian and nom vegetarian Vietnamese options. I do recommend this tour.

The boat tour in Halong Bay was an unforgettable experience. The landscape is simply breathtaking, with iconic limestone formations rising from the water, creating a magical atmosphere. The boat was comfortable and well-organized. A special mention goes to Andry, our guide, who was extremely knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions, making the tour even more engaging. The only downside was the weather, but of course, that’s beyond their control. They have to work on the food because it was sadly under the excpectatives
