As you glide through the bay, you'll encounter hidden caves, pristine beaches, and floating fishing villages, offering a glimpse into the lives of the local communities that call Halong Bay home. Explore the mystical depths of Thien Cung Cave or venture into Sung Sot Cave, adorned with intricate stalactites and stalagmites that create an otherworldly atmosphere.
For the adventurous at heart, kayaking through the bay's labyrinth of limestone pillars is an unforgettable experience. Paddle through narrow passageways and hidden lagoons, surrounded by towering cliffs and lush greenery, as you immerse yourself in the tranquility of this natural paradise.
Back on board your cruise ship, indulge in delectable Vietnamese cuisine and savor the flavors of freshly caught seafood, prepared by talented chefs who showcase the best of local culinary traditions. As the sun sets over the bay, relax on the deck with a refreshing cocktail in hand and witness the sky ablaze with vibrant hues, casting a magical spell over the serene waters below.
Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or simply a moment of awe-inspiring beauty, Halong Bay offers an unforgettable escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. So pack your bags, set sail from Hanoi, and prepare to be enchanted by the timeless allure of this UNESCO gem in the heart of Vietnam.

Explore Halong Bay With Cozy Bay Cruise 🌊
This time i want to share my experienced when i joined in 1 day tour to Halong Bay in Vietnam. Last time i using Cozy Bay Premium Cruise, and the route is going to Sung Sot Cave, Titop Island, and Luon Cave.
What i like the most about this cruise is they offer buffet lunch and it’s included on the price of the package. The lunch also more premium than others cruise. They serve unlimited seafood.
For the drink, it’s not included on the package. We can buy drinks on the spot at the cruise, the price a bit higher than at the market but not too expensive. Btw, every cruise that sail to Halong Bay are not include drinks (for 1day trip).
Not only the buffet, Cozy Bay Cruise also give free sunset party for the guests, they serve wine and snacks for the sunset party. Overall the trip was good and the staffs are so kind.

Day trip to Halong Bay
If you are in Hanoi, Halong Bay is one of the tours you should definitely take. Bus was waiting for us in front of the hotel and then we had 2 and half hours drive to the port. Our tour guy explained to us what we gonna see and also he was telling us a bit about history and development of this area. First stop before lunch at boat was Bo Hon Island where we were exploring big cave and walk around it. After that we took speed boat for 30 minutes drive around some smaller islands and after that we were doing kayaking. Lunch at boat was very nice, many different options to choose. Last stop was at Ti Top Island where we enjoyed at sandy beach. On the way back there was like a party at the boat and they had happy hour for cocktails. Very nice experience and I recommend you to try it.

Halong Bay Vietnam 🇻🇳

The Halong Bay tour was one of my best travel experiences in Vietnam. We visited the different destinations by boat. The sceneries are magnificent.
Along the way, we were treated to delicious local food on the boat. We also got to know the different travelers at our table. It was great 😎.
We did kayaking, I was scared at first, but then I got the hang of it and it was the best experience yet. Then we climbed to the caves which was not easy at all because there were a lot of people. Taking pictures was not easy either, but we managed it. The last destination was Titop Island where we went swimming for 40 minutes.
At the end of the day, we went home happy and satisfied. It was really a great experience.
Getting There - It’s best to book a guided tour because Halong Bay is a bit far away, especially if you’re staying in Hanoi.
Attractions - Titop Island and Hang Sungsot
Shopping - There are some souvenir shops and probably your bus will stop at these stores.

Kayaking & Ti Top Island Climbing
Kayaking at Tung Sau Area & Ti Top Island - Halong Bay, Vietnam!
👉 Kayaking through Halong Bay is a must-do bucket list activity and by far the best way to explore all that the bay has to offer. These tours are offered by most Halong Bay cruises. Our cruise took all tourists to Tung Sau Area for kayaking trip which is a not-to-miss experience, we all had joyful moments paddling among beautiful rock formations and karst cliffs. Moreover, we stopped at Tung Sau Pearl Farm to watch and learn about the pearl growing and making process.
👉 Ti Top Island is a small, picturesque, and most attractive island known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views of the surrounding bay. Climbing to the top is another not-to-miss activity for adventurous travelers which takes nearly 30 minutes, and humongous breathtaking panoramic view of Halong Bay awaits you there. Many cruises stop at the island for 1-2 hours.
SAVE & SHARE this post with travellers visiting Vietnam that must go for the most prominent and indispensable activities like kayaking and climbing Ti Top Island in Halong Bay as vast majority of cruises include these not-to-miss activities in their cruise itineraries for free.

Most FANTASTIC stay in all of Ha Long Bay!
Whether you’re staying in the area for a week
or just a weekend getaway, The Queen Motel is the perfect location with fantastic service, kind and generous hosts and the kind of hospitality which makes Vietnam such a wonderful place to visit.
This family run establishment will pamper you at every opportunity and completely assure that your stay is exciting, comfortable and memorable.
Whether you are here on a day tour and just staying the night or are you have plans to spend more time, I highly recommend this establishment.
You will find reasonably priced food right around the corner, reasonably priced during opportunities and you are literally three minutes walk from the port.
I suggest you rent a motorbike ($5) and take a $2.75 ferry ride to Cat Ba Island. You are just 30 m from the fairy!
If you’re coming from Hanoi this is the perfect weekend getaway!
This is great for both locals and #Vietnamhotel foreigners.#vietnam #hanoi #halongbay #hotelstay#catba #halongbay#visitvietnam #urbanexplorer #hostel #getawaytrip #vietnam
Cat Ba Island, for your beautiful holiday
Cat Ba is one the famous tourist destinations in the North of Vietnam. Situated only 50 km from Hai Phong Center, Cat Ba island is the largest island of 366 islands which lies within the larger area of Ha Long Bay. Once visiting Cat Ba, you can not skip its famous destinations such as Lan Ha Bay, Monkey Island, Cat Ba National Park.... However, when is the best time to visit Cat Ba, it seems a frequent question of many tourists

Best Sunset at Halong Bay
If you are looking to watch one of the best sunset, please do not miss Halong Bay in Vietnam! Very mersmerizing and unforgetable experience cruising down Halong Bay and enjoying the magnificient views! Children enjoy their time at the beach building sand castles and picking up seashells. You can also find some very nice dropoff pieces of the cliffs/stones that got washed up to shore! #halongbay
Ha Long Bay
2 hours driving from Hanoi City is really worthy. The scenery there is very spectacular and good for self-healing. You need to book the cruise package to go round the UNESCO site. Please keep in mind to negotiate the price prior booking. You can have your lunch on the cruise. some of the cruise offered Seafood only so it is Muslim-friendly. we also can see some of the fishermen are selling the seafood from one boat to another. Depending on the package that you taken, they will brought you to the cave. In the cave, the view is stunning. Very recommended place to go once you reached Hanoi. #hanoi #halongbay #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #deliciousfood #awesomepic
Handcrafted pearl artistry
During our trip to Halong Bay, we were brought to visit the Ha Long Pearl where they rear mussels and cultivate exquisite pearls. They gave us a tour around the farm and we got to witness how they picked the pearls, refined them with tools and crafted them into the perfect shapes and textures ready for use. These skilful master craftsmen then transform these pearls into one-of-a-kind jewellery. I was amazed at the whole process and gained respect for the people who do this incredible works of art.
My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sung Sot(Surprise) Cave @ Ha Long Bay
When visiting Ha Long Bay, drop by Sung Sot Cave for a visit, this is a tourists attraction offered by many tours.
This Cave popularity has increased as it is one of the most beautiful caves found in Ha Long Bay and is a highlight when coming to this area. This Cave has a history where the French found this place and it was so amazing that he named it *grotte des surprises*, which explained the name of the Cave today.
This Cave isolated on Bo Hon Island and is just 25 meters above sea level, to get to these Cave you will have to climb 50 stairs to the mouth of the Cave therefore this isn't a wheel chair friendly place.
Also to note, as this is a tourists attraction, the Cave requires an entrance fee where children below 7yrs ol are generally free and there are also discount for senior citizen as well.
Do visit this place around April to October where the weather is dry with less rain.

World Famous Ha Long Bay
Most have heard of the every popular Halong Bay where the James Bond Movie called tomorrow never dies was being shot at.
Ha Long Bay is located in the North East of Vietnam and is a popular tourists attraction due to its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands topped by rainforests. There are also many junkboats and kayaks that take visitors out to sea towards the beautiful limestone for a closer up shot as this is a World UNESCO site.
Several junkboats or ship also offer stay overnight on the boat with luxurious rooms and sumptuous breakfast but can be rather costly. They normally even prefer to be paid in USD instead of thr vetnamese dong.
For us, we only took the boat out to see the several limestone and island before we headed back to shore. It is an incredible sight to see such gigantic beauties around you.

On this cruise we ordered family rooms, which the bed was very soft, the bathroom was also clean, the air conditioner was cold, and our room had a balcony, so we could enjoy the trip on the ship and see also the sunset. especially in the cruise, while lunch and dinner time, we were given a menu of food served, very delicious, which we could see the chef cooked the dishes and served it at our table.so amazing. #vietnamtravel #halongbay #cruisetrip

#Throwback to my amazing 2019 trip to Hanoi! 🇻🇳
I started my exploration with a visit to Tran Quoc Pagoda, the oldest temple in the city. The architecture was absolutely stunning – a true testament to Hanoi's rich history.
Hanoi wasn't just about the sights though! The city offered an incredible cultural experience, from the delicious food to the fascinating religious traditions.
But of course, no trip to Vietnam would be complete without experiencing the natural beauty. I still miss cruising through the breathtaking Ha Long Bay, just a few hours' drive from Hanoi.
Such a memorable trip! ✨#hanoi vietnam#กินไรดีบางแสน#下龍灣 #halongbay
