Gratiot Premium Full Day Cruise in Halong

Enjoy the scenic Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site with lush oceans and many limestone islands overshadowed by rainforests, for 365 days. A scenic drive from Hanoi offers a glimpse into the breathtaking scenery of Vietnam. After completing your journey, enjoy the sights by embarking on a modern cruise ship or classic junk boat. You’ll spend the day swimming and snorkeling in the clear bay waters, admiring impressive karst formations. Be sure not to miss out on the chance to visit the Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave, which is one of the most impressive and stunning caves in Halong Bay. Additionally, there are options to frolic in the unspoiled sea waters of the harbor or venture on a kayaking adventure through the islands.

Guests in different hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter will be picked up by our English-speaking tour guide, who will cover the period from 0815 AM to 0900 AM. Despite our efforts to make pick-ups as soon as possible, the morning traffic in the Old Quarter can result in some delays due to the availability of hotels for pick up. Our driver would appreciate it if you could help speed up the process by being ready to assist.

The Tuan Chau Marina will receive your booking at 11.45-12.00 and we’ll transfer you to our pier. Our friendly staff will be waiting with a smile for you as you arrive, right after the bus leaves.

The cruise departs from Tuan Chau harbor at 12.00-13.30, and includes a delightful lunch on board to experience the splendor of Halong Bay, renowned for its history. During the journey, you can explore the grandeur of the famous bay and its numerous limestone islands, such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock. Thumb Rock is a magnificent limestone islet that rises above the sea in resemblance to ‘Grasshopper’. Thumb Rock has been created by Mother Nature to convey a message of goodwill to all passengers traveling in the ancient bay. Bring along for a massive buffet lunch that features both seafood and Vietnamese dishes.

Head to Bo Hon Island at approximately 13.30 – 14.30 to visit the Surprising Cave, which is both Sung Sot Cave and Amazing Cave. We will take you to Sung Sot Cave/Surprising Cave, the largest and most stunning cave in Halong Bay as shown by our guide. After climbing approximately 200 steps, the entrance to the cave emerges from the forest canopy. Paradise is a place you’ll find. Arriving at Luon Cave on a Kayaking Cruise at 1430-15 30 minutes allows for cruisers who are not skilled in walking to stay on the sundeck. This area is the perfect spot to warm up with a 30-minute kayaking adventure or taking in the scenic view at Hang Luon (Creepy Cave) using stricken Rowboats, which are brought by locals and transported to Halong Bay.

A visit to Titop Island, a nearby beach, and the Ti top mountain stop will take place between 15.30 and 17.00. From halfway up the mountain, you can see the panoramic view of Halong Bay from this tiny island. Watching the sun set from a high altitude creates an unforgettable experience, and also offers stunning views of every corner of the bay. Enjoy your evening tea with complimentary Vietnamese drinks like fresh fruit or mini cakes. Enjoy the return sail back as the sunset begins to fade and the sky envelops in deep reds, purples and yellows.

We depart from the harbor at 17.30, board the buses and drive along the high-speed highway. A short break at the halfway point, and then on its way back to Hanoi.

We appreciate your contribution to our Cruise’s experience, as it provides a unique opportunity for you to experience the Old City in person. The tour guide will take you straight to your hotel choice, and on weekends, due to road closures, our buses will drop you off at an appropriate location within the city.
