Full description

This is a 6-hour experience in Ha Long, built around Ha Long Bay, Sung Sot Cave and Ti Top Island. It is run by Sunlight International Travel Company Limited, 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 Hotel pickup and drop-off, Full-day cruise, Lunch on the boat, Bottle of water on Bus only and Hike on Titop Island. It does not cover Entrance fees 360 000 vnd / 14 USD, Holiday surcharge, Drinks and Extra services and activities, 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.

Tuan Chau International Marina. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Sunlight International Travel Company Limited before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The guide were professional and explained to us about Ha long bay and its attraction. The cruise is also good and the food sortiment is ok. The problem was in transportation which delayed for 1:30 hours.

correct dans l'ensemble les endroits visité sont extrêmement fréquenté et le guide nous presse beaucoup et ne répond pas à nos questions quand nous en avons. Mais le couché de soleil à bord du bateau était magnifique et le buffet était très bien.

The guide was very funny and spoke good englisch. The time at each spot was too less, not really time to explore something. The ship was nice, although there were almost 100 people on it.

Die Halong-Bucht ist die Sehenswürdigkeit. Der Bus hätte moderner sein können aber der Busfahrer fuhr ganz sicher. Der Besuch im Perlenmuseum hätte kürzer sein dürfen. Das Schiff war groß und gemütlich, Internet vorhanden. Das Buffet ausreichend und für jeden etwas dabei. Die Landschaft unbeschreiblich schön. Der Besuch der Insel mit Badeoption und hiking auf den Aussichtspunkt über Stufen machbar. Die Höhle war ausgebaut mit vielen guten Stufen für die vielen Touristen und sehr gut machbar. Der Guide war immer zur Stelle. Englisch Kenntnisse sind natürlich von Vorteil. Busfahrt mit Pausen 3 S

The hosts were super bored and clearly not interested… the food was okay, probably only due to the fact that everything was deep fried. All the time cheap souvenirs were pressured at us… spend 30$ more and it will probably be better..

Det var en lång bussresa för en endagsutflykt, ca 6 timmars total bussresa. Guiderna var bra och informativa. Men det är för många personer som skall besöka samma ställen. Det är kö för att gå upp till utsiktspunkt, in i grottor mm. Maten på båten var smaklös. Det bästa var att se inne i grottan och solnedgången på vägen tillbaka. Vi fick en upphämtningstid i ett mejl från arrangören och på morgonen ringer guiden en timme innan upphämtningstiden och frågar var vi är. Då blev det stressigt. Rekommenderar inte denna utflykt.

Sehr gut war die Leitung und Organisation. Vielen Dank an Robert und die Schiffscrew. Guide Robert spricht gutes Englisch, erklärt zu den einzelnen Stationen und führt durch die Höhlen. Das Schiff ist ordentlich. Es ist sauber. Die Möbel sind in Ordnung und schön. Wir waren insgesamt eine Gruppe von 15 Personen, was perfekt war. An Bord kosten Getränke extra, sind aber fair bepreist. Das Essen war gut, aber leider nach einiger Zeit nur noch lauwarm/kalt. Hat dennoch geschmeckt. Insgesamt sind wir sehr zufrieden, für uns war der Trip genau das, was wir gesucht hatten und würden es auf jeden Fal
