Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch

1.Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,551 reviews · from $40Our pick

Leave Hanoi’s Old Quarter by air-conditioned bus, cruise Halong Bay for about six hours, visit Sung Sot Cave, kayak or take a bamboo boat at Luon Cave, and hike or swim at Titop Island. Guides such as Alex, Tinh, Henry, Sam, and Tom are known for keeping large groups organized.

“In terms of the nature you see, this tour is amazing. Our guide Sam was lovely, organized, and was able to keep track of a big group. The boat was definitely nicer than many we saw on the water and the crew on board was very accommodating and proactive. Locations that they chose were good and accurately described! Bus was perfectly adequate/comfortable and driver was safe and good in the traffic. For us, we learned that groups of this size are not for us. I don’t find it intimate and it doesn’t offer the chance to have a strong connection with the guides. However, I think the price is fair…”

“Driver was on time and efficient. Orientation breakfast was about as sparse as can be - toast and coffee - so eat beforehand or bring snacks. There were a lot of guests but everything was well organized and ran smoothly. The tour guide (Thon?) was the highlight. He was funny, informative, helpful and made sure we all stayed hydrated. Lunch was pretty good - honestly, better than I expected. We had an epic day and saw amazing sights. One of the highlights of our trip.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 806 reviews · 3 hours · from $26

Spend three hours kayaking Ban Thung Yee Peng with a Thai or English-speaking guide such as Karim, Alim, or Ramadan. Expect birds, mudskippers, fiddler crabs, monkeys, a local fish farm, fried rice, fruit, and hotel transport. Bring swimwear or spare clothes because the kayak gets wet.

“This was a great trip. Karim was our guide and he is one of the most engaging tour guides we have ever met. It was so nice to spend half a day away from the hustle and bustle and in tranquil waters with amazing scenery. Karim has clearly put a lot of work in to build relationships with the monkeys as they boarded his kayak to get fresh water and just hangout. We also got a lovely lunch after the kayaking and saw some fish being fed in the fish farm. Would highly recommend this tour and we hope you get Karim as your tour guide.”
