Is 1 day enough to see Halong Bay?

Yes — with this 6-hour route you see the 3 main experiences (cave, kayaking, island) plus lunch and sunset. It’s the most complete day-cruise format currently running from Tuan Chau. Ideal when you stay in Hanoi and don’t want to sleep on the bay.

Light clothing, hat, sunscreen, swimwear for Titov, comfortable walking shoes for Sung Sot, and some cash for drinks or tips. In winter (Dec–Feb), bring a light jacket for the return cruise.

Is kayaking included or do I pay extra?

Kayaking or bamboo-boat rowing at Luon Cave is included in this Heritage Cruise program as per itinerary. You choose one activity on-site.

Can children join this cruise?

Yes. Children 1–4 years old sharing with parents are free (1st child), 5–8 years old pay 75%, 9+ pay adult rate. Exact age counted by birth year on passport.

What if the weather changes?

Halong Bay is under port authority control. If weather or safety changes, the schedule may be adjusted — cave, kayaking, or island may swap order. ViettrendTour will inform you clearly — customer-first, no surprises.

Do I have to climb a lot?

Sung Sot Cave has steps but is manageable; Titov Island viewpoint is optional — you can stay on the beach or in the Jacuzzi instead. Good for mixed-age groups.

Can I combine this with Ninh Binh or Sapa?

Absolutely. Many guests book this cruise as Day 2 of a northern trip, then continue to Ninh Binh or Sapa. We can arrange private transfers.

Why book with ViettrendTour?

Because we design around your travel rhythm — door-to-door pick-up, verified cruise supplier, clear inclusions, support in peak season, and no hidden add-ons. Customer first as principle. 🙌
