Excursion: Halong bay (Full day) – Pick up/drop off in Hanoi

Declared as a World Heritage site by the UNESCO, Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam’s most spectacular natural attractions, which was declared a World Natural Heritage site by UNESCO in 1994. Located around 200 km out of Hanoi, the bay covers an area of more than 1500 square kilometers and is dotted with thousands of limestone islands, which are rising from the clear green waters like sculptures carved by the Gods. Come and see that Vietnamese call “the descending dragon”

After breakfast at your hotel, at 08:00 our waiting guide and driver will welcome you at your hotel in Hanoi and transfer us to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also one of Vietnam’s most spectacular natural attractions

A 3 and half hours-drive pass us through rice fields, buffalos and rural villages.

We will spend 04-hour cruising around the myriad of tiny islands and exploring the many grottoes created by the wind and the waves.

A delicious seafood lunch will be served on board before we visit the stunning Thien Cung cave (Heavenly Palace Cave), well-known for its stalagmites and stalactites. We then visit Dau Go Cave (grotto of the wooden stakes) where in 1288 one of Vietnam’s most famous Generals, Tran Hung Dao amassed hundreds of stakes deep inside the cave prior to a battle with an invading Mongol army. We return to the wharf in the afternoon and transfer back to Hanoi
