Full Day Itinerary Breakdown
07:30 – 08:15 | Hotel Pick-Up in Hanoi
Your day will start with a comfortable hotel pickup in the Old Quarter or in the center of Hanoi. From there, your tour will be taken aboard a clean and comfortable modern limousine van. As the metropolis disappears in the distance, glimpse the countryside of Vietnam, lush fields, villages lining the roads, and sunbathing water buffaloes.
08:15 – 11:30 | Journey to Halong Bay via Expressway
We take the newly opened Hanoi-Halong expressway, reducing the time to just more than two hours. During the ride, your guide will tell interesting stories of Halong Bay, its myths, and its UNESCO Heritage Site designation. Upon arrival, you will be smitten by what is to come.
We dock at Tuan Chau Harbor, where your cruise vessel is waiting. A quick check-in, and we welcome you aboard with a refreshing drink and a safety guide. The adventure now begins as we depart and navigate one of the world’s most legendary landscapes.
12:00 – 13:00 | Lunch on Board While Cruising
The further in you cruise to the center of Halong Bay, the more delectable seafood lunch will be enjoyed onboard or over the panoramic dining area. One by one, limestone karsts such as Ga Choi Islet, Dinh Huong, and Dog Islet will become visible, each more spectacular than the next. Pack your camera, peak postcard time.
13:00 – 14:00 | Visit Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave)
Embark on a walk through the fabled Sung Sot Cave, the biggest and most spectacular cave in Halong Bay. See its enormous stone chambers and be amazed at what nature has crafted throughout millions of years to create such a work of beauty. Your guide will tell you all about the cave’s geology and point out features that include the “Buddha,” “Lion,” and “Dragon.”
14:15 – 15:15 | Discover Titop Island
The next destination: Titop Island, the treasure of both beachgoers and photographers. Swim in the tranquil, azure bay or bask in the sun on its white shores. For the adventurous, a quick trek uphill will take you to a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the bay, a top feature of our Day Cruises & Tours of Halong from Hanoi.
15:30 – 16:00 | Kayaking or Bamboo Boat at Luon Cave
We continue to the becalmed waters by Luon Cave to have a more secluded experience. You can paddle your kayak beneath overhanging cliffs or take a Vietnamese-style bamboo boat paddled by a local. This secluded lagoon is a quiet respite from the majesty of open waters in the bay.
16:15 – 17:00 | Sunset Tea on Deck
Back on the cruise, now is the time to relax. Have a Vietnamese tea or a cup of coffee while the sun sets over the bay. The sun’s descent casts a warm, long glow over the rock structures, your final magical glimpse before your return to your homeland.
17:30 – 20:30 | Return to Hanoi
We get off and get on the van to take a leisurely ride back to Hanoi. Catch your breath, flick through your amazing photos, or take a well-deserved nap. You get back to your hotel at around 20:30, contented, rejuvenated, and with plenty to tell.

Travel Tips for a Perfect Halong Bay Day Tour
To get the most out of your Day Cruises & Tours of Halong from Hanoi, a bit of preparation will take you a long way. Whether you are traveling with us whilst you’re visiting Hanoi briefly or incorporating this experience within your overall Hanoi Tours, here are some tips that will see you cruise comfortably and with confidence.
What to Bring
Pack lightly but cleverly! We suggest comfortable walking shoes or sandals. Titop Island has a beautiful hike, and you will appreciate the grip and ease. Pack a wide-brimmed hat to keep the sun off your face, especially in the time spent sailing with the open deck and at the beach. A light jacket is useful in the cool months or when there are breezy moments at sea. And don’t forget that camera or smartphone you will want to capture Halong Bay’s limestone towers, hidden grottos, and sun-kissed sunsets.

What to Avoid
Leave your large suitcases or heavy backpacks at the hotel. Our Day Cruises & Tours of Halong from Hanoi are well planned to be done within a single day, so keep your day simple and hands-free. Forget the stilettos, they’re not appropriate for cave exploration or beach climbs. You won’t be thanking us enough when we finally get to the top of the lookout on Titop Island!
What Not to Forget
Don’t let a dead battery get the better of your shot at photo-worthy postcard snaps. Have your phone or camera charged, or better still, carry a power bank. It is also a good idea to have a bit of the local currency (Vietnamese Dong) with you to provide optional tips, snacks, or purchases at the harbor.
Conclusion
Don’t let your day in Hanoi pass by without seeing the breathtaking glory of Halong Bay. Our skillfully designed Day Cruises & Tours of Halong from Hanoi are prepared to make your single free day become a memory that will stay with you forever. Whatever you plan to make the day a part of other Hanoi Tours or to fly here solely to spend a day, Impress Travel has got your back.

I will highly recommend Impress Travel for anyone interested in visiting Vietnam. Very organized and reliable!
