Day Trips in Halong Bay

Ha Long Bay is a stunning World Heritage Site known for its outstanding scenic beauty and unique marine ecosystem. However at half a day's drive from Hanoi it can be difficult to get out to, especially if you're on a tight schedule. On this day trip from Hanoi, visit some of the Bay's natural highlights without having to throw out your itinerary. Spend the afternoon cruising around the Bay, stopping at sights like the surreal Sung Sot Grotto and the low-hanging Luon Water Cave.

Trek along the coastline of Cat Ba Island to Viet Hai and soak up beautiful scenes of both land and sea. You'll visit the farming village and enjoy sweeping views over Halong Bay; ride a bike through Cat Ba National Park; and take a boat past the floating villages in Lan Ha Bay, where you can kayak and swim at pristine beaches. Your guide helps you interact with the locals and keeps an eye out for various animals you might see in the forest. Lunch and hotel transport are included.
