Ha Long Bay Day Cruise from Hanoi: Caves, Kayaking & Ti Top Island
Cruise among the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay on a full-day trip from Hanoi, with a cave visit, kayaking, and a swim at Ti Top Island.
About This Tour
Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its emerald water and thousands of limestone islands. This one-day trip takes you there from Hanoi with a comfortable ride, a boat cruise, and time to explore. After a morning drive from Hanoi, you board a boat and sail between the islands. You stop at a large cave, paddle a kayak or ride a small bamboo boat through a water cave, and climb Ti Top Island for wide views of the bay. If you prefer to relax, you can swim at the beach there. This is an easy tour with no special skills needed. It is a good choice if you have only one day for the bay, or if you want a taste of Ha Long before a longer trip.
