Leaving the marina area, the cruiser passes by Dog Head and Swan Islands, the Ba Hang Floating villages, and Thumb Islands before reaching Sửng Sốt (Suprising Cave). Explore the cave with your guide.

Our tour guide with nickname 'Hero' was great. He shared so much interesting information on the sights and Vietnam history in general combined with a great light sense of humor which the group really appreciated. The tour schedule was put together very efficiently avoiding the crowd peaks at the major sights. The boat that took us from the main land was still very new and looked great. We were served a fresh seafood lunch on board. All of this made our experience of Ha Long Bay even better. It's a truly beautiful place to visit. Best parts for me were kayaking in a secluded parts of the bay where the big boats cannot come as well as swimming in the indigo waters at Ti Tov island. I can recommend this tour to anyone. A bare minimum fitness is advisable.

Very good Tour guide. When it is rainy or/and misty there will be not so much people so everything goes smootlhy. But nevertheless very typical touristy activity. Just follow the program. I would recommend only a 1 day Tour. Would not take a 2 day cruise. Food was not wow. Very basic. But still good! I would recommend this Tour so you can see beautiful Halong Bay is. Unesco World Heritage for a reason!.
