Full description

This is a 6-hour experience in Ha Long, built around Limousine, Hai Duong and Ha Long. It is run by Dragon King Viet Nam, 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 Pick up and drop off from Hanoi's Old Quarter, Bottled water during transfer, Live English speaking tour guide, 5* Luxury Cruise with Jacuzzi and Includes towels and shower room. It does not cover Personal expenses, Tips for driver and tour guide, Lunar New Year Surcharge and Beverages, 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.

Dragon King Viet Nam 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 Dragon King Viet Nam before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hercules Luxury Cruise – Ha Long Bay Our experience with Hercules Luxury Cruise was absolutely wonderful! From the comfortable transfer to the scenic cruise route, everything was perfectly arranged. The team was professional, and Anna, tour Manager and Henry, our guide, was helpful and cheerful throughout. The lunch on board was delicious, and the entire cruise was relaxing and well-paced. Highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Ha Long Bay — truly a great way to explore the beauty of Vietnam! 🇻🇳✨

I joined the Ha Long Bay day trip and had such a great time! The tour was really well organized, the boat was clean, and the staff were super nice and helpful. The lunch on board was delicious with plenty of tasty Vietnamese dishes. Our guide was amazing, he texted me the night before to confirm everything and took great care of us throughout the day. He was funny, informative, and made the trip even more enjoyable. Titov Beach was a bit too crowded, but the view from the top was stunning and totally worth it. Highly recommend!

I truly enjoyed this Ha Long Bay one-day tour. The guide was professional and caring, and the activities were well planned. Titop Island was great for swimming and hiking, Surprise Cave was stunning, and kayaking at Luon Cave was the highlight of the trip. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Ich habe meinem Freund einen Wochenendausflug nach Ha Long geschenkt. Die Fahrt dorthin verlief reibungslos, und auch das Programm war sehr gut organisiert. Das Boot war super sauber und sicher, das Essen hat richtig gut geschmeckt, und das Team an Bord war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Besonders positiv ist meinem Freund die herzliche und engagierte Art des Reiseleiters aufgefallen. Wenn ich wieder nach Vietnam komme, möchte ich diese Tour auf jeden Fall noch einmal erleben.
