  • Halong Bay

    After you’re picked up at your hotel 08:00. you’ll head out on the drive to Halong Bay, making a short stop en route in Hai Duong to visit crafts workshops, where you’ll see marble stone sculptures, plaque paintings, and hand-embroidered items. Arrive in Halong City tourist wharf around 12:00pm. Here you'll board a traditional wooden junk and head into the bay. A fresh seafood lunch (vegetarian available if requested) is served on the way out. The limestone bedrock and sheer cliffs of the countless islets have inspired local people to come up with equally fanciful names: Stone Dogs island, Duck island, Finger island, Incense Burner island, and Fighting Cocks Island, the symbol of Halong Bay. You will then head on to Thien Cung (Heavenly Palace Grotto) and Dau Go (Hidden Wooden Stake Cave), two magnificent and otherworldly caves. Explore their huge chambers adorned with stalactites and stalagmites of all kinds. Finally, enjoy 45 minutes of Bamboo boat at the Floating Village to visit the islands and water tunnels and bask in the charm of this natural paradise. Around 4:30pm you will be brought back to the Halong tourist wharf, where our vehicle is waiting to take you back to Hanoi. The trip ends at your hotel around 8:00pm.

  • Hon Ga Choi Island

    Fighting Cocks Islet is located in the southwest of Halong Bay, approximately 5 km from Bai Chay Tourism Wharf. Fighting Cocks Islet includes two limestone islets in which one looks like a rooster while another has the shape of a hen. Each of these islets has the length of around 10 meters. With different imagination, some says that these cocks are fighting, on the other hand, the others think they are kissing

    15 minutes

  • Dong Thien Cung

    Heaven Palace Cave is situated on the south-west side the bay, 4 kilometers from the wharf outside of Halong city, at the height of 25 meters above the sea level. The cave is 10,000 square meters with complicated interior structure, many floors, and high ceiling. Visiting the grotto, tourists will feel like visiting an art museum with variety of sophisticated statues and reliefs. The way to Thien Cung is a perilous one, covered on both sides by thick forest

Should be visit when you are in vietnam. It is very beautiful, wide bay and amamzing view. Shoud sleep night over in jungle if you have time enough.

Excellent Guide and good food

Published on Jan, 2019

We visited hanoi during the last week of dec 2018 and we had booked a day trip to Halong bay via Klook. It was managed arranged by Charming Vietnam Travels. I would give 5 stars to the guide. (probably his name is Sam our travel date 31-12-2018). He is excellent knows the geography well and he explained about the caves in detail. Couldn't visit the floating village . Our group of 9ppl were pure vegetarians and the vegetarian food served was very good.
