Your Halong Bay 1 day group tour (Deluxe) begins early with a luxury transfer from your hotel in Hanoi by our driver & guide.
The distance from Hanoi to Tuan Chau Harbor is 153 km for 2 hours 13 minutes.
On route, you can request to stop at Halong Market. A popular market in Halong City, offering a variety of seafood, local specialties, and souvenirs. It's an excellent place to experience local life before going to Halong Bay.
When you arrive at Tuan Chau harbor, the Halong tour 1 day is just about to start. You will check in and board the cruise, where the crew greets you with a warm welcome and a refreshing welcome drink.
Sip on your welcome drink as the cruise sets off from Tuan Chau harbor. You're embarking on a journey through the stunning Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Look out for iconic limestone formations like Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and the remarkable Thumb Rock, each telling a unique story of nature's artistry.
Titop Island is a small but charming spot in the heart of Halong Bay, known for its stunning scenery, crystal-clear waters, and soft, sandy beach. Named after the Russian astronaut Gherman Titov, a visit to this island offers a mix of relaxation and adventure against the backdrop of Halong Bay's iconic limestone karsts.
The island's beach is perfect for those looking to soak up some sun, take a dip in the sea, or simply enjoy the beautiful view. Despite its relatively small size, the beach feels like a little slice of paradise, with its white sand and the emerald waters of the bay.
For the more adventurous, a climb to the top of Titop Island is a must-do. It might be a bit of a trek, with quite a few steps to conquer, but the panoramic view from the top is absolutely worth it.
From the summit, you'll get a 360-degree view of Halong Bay, showcasing the vast sea dotted with countless limestone islands. The view is particularly breathtaking at sunrise or sunset when the sky and sea are painted with vibrant colors.
Enjoy a lavish buffet lunch aboard, featuring a variety of dishes, including delicious seafood and traditional Vietnamese cuisine. It's a feast that promises to be as memorable as the surrounding scenery.
Sung Sot Cave also known as the Surprise Cave, lives up to its name. Located on Bo Hon Island, it's one of the largest and most astonishing caves in Halong Bay.
As you step inside, you'll be greeted by massive chambers that seem to stretch endlessly, adorned with stalactites and stalagmites that have taken centuries to form.
The cave's interior feels like a different world, with various formations sparking the imagination — some even resemble animals or mythical creatures. The largest chamber opens up to an awe-inspiring, well-lit space, making visitors feel as though they've stepped into a hidden kingdom.
It's a 45-minute exploration of this natural wonder, while those preferring a more relaxed pace can enjoy the views from the sundeck.
After leaving Sung Sot Cave, the cruise arrives at Luon Cave. Here, you can experience a kayaking session, paddling through tranquil waters and soaking in the majestic views.
Kayaking through Luon Cave is like paddling into a secret world. The calm waters of the lagoon, protected by the cliffs, are ideal for kayaking, making it an activity that's suitable for both beginners and experienced paddlers.

Best time to visit
When planning a deluxe 1-day group tour to Halong Bay, the good time to visit is key to ensuring you get the most out of your experience and enjoy a wonderful vacation without worrying about the weather. Here’s our guide to the best times to visit:
Seasons Throughout the Year
Halong Bay experiences four distinct seasons, making it a year-round destination. The spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months offer mild and pleasant weather, ideal for cruising and exploring the caves. Summer (June to August) brings warmer weather, perfect for swimming and kayaking, but it can be accompanied by occasional storms. Winter (December to February) is cooler and can be foggy, adding a mystical allure to the bay but possibly obscuring the views.
Best Time to Visit
The best times to visit Halong Bay are during the spring and autumn months when the weather is moderate, and the skies are clear, providing the best conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
March to May avoids the peak tourist season, offering a chance to enjoy the bay’s serene beauty with fewer crowds. September to November is also ideal, with comfortable temperatures and less rainfall, allowing for beautiful sunset viewings on the cruise.
Local Cuisine
Halong Bay’s local cuisine is a delightful exploration of fresh seafood and traditional Vietnamese dishes. Notable mentions include:

Transportation
Getting to and around Halong Bay is convenient via various modes of transportation. From Hanoi, tourists can opt for a shuttle bus, private car, or seaplane. The shuttle bus is the most economical option, while a private car offers more flexibility in terms of schedule.
For a unique and faster alternative, the seaplane provides breathtaking aerial views of the bay. Within Halong Bay, cruises are the primary means of transportation, offering multi-day tours to explore the vastness and beauty of the bay and its islands. Kayaks and bamboo boats are also available for closer exploration of caves and secluded areas.

FAQs
As travel agents, we frequently receive a variety of questions before the trip-planning process even begins. Everything from the best period to book to determining if travel insurance is worth it. We love being able to share our professional expertise and personal experience with our clients, offering them confidence that their holiday will be nothing less than exciting.
While it may seem too early to plan a holiday, it's always a good idea to research travel tour prices ahead of time and book as soon as a suitable offer has been identified. "When it comes to the winter holidays from October to February in the next year—the priciest time of the year—your best bet is to book the tour service before this period," according to my own experience. "Look to book between one to two months ahead for domestic travel and two to 6 months ahead for international travel."
It is a good idea to check if you need a visa for Vietnam before applying for one, since this will save you both time and money, especially in times of crisis.
According to official announcements, residents of 25 countries will be able to travel to Vietnam and stay for 14 to 45 days (depending on nationality) without requiring a visa beginning in 2024.
To enter Vietnam, such citizens just require a valid passport with at least two black pages. The complete list of these countries can be found this link : https://www.vietnam-visa.com/vietnam-visa-exemption/
