Full description

This is a 6-hour experience in Ha Long. It is run by Amazing VietNam tour, 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 by shuttle bus/Limousine Hanoi, 1 water bottle on bus, English-speaking guide, Cruise in Ha Long Bay and Welcome drink onboard. It does not cover Personal expenses, Drinks on boat, Tips for guide and driver and Travel insurance, 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.

Amazing VietNam tour sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Amazing VietNam tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Our tour guide, Mr. Tung was such an informative and friendly person who brought a lot of laughter to us. If he becomes your tour guide, you would be a lucky person! I would love to take a tour with him next time I come back to Hanoi.

I had a wonderful time with Phong and the rest of the crew. The boat and its accommodations exceeded my expectations and I had so much fun swimming in the bay & kayaking. This is a must do for anyone visiting Hanoi.
