Things to do in Sung Sot Cave

A day trip to Ha Long Bay truly lives up to its reputation as "Guilin on the Sea"! 🌊 We departed from Hanoi in the morning, and the drive was about 2.5 hours. Although it was a bit far, seeing the emerald green water and thousands of limestone islands made it all worthwhile. Cruising among the islands felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. For lunch, we enjoyed a seafood meal on the boat; the food was decent, but dining with the sea breeze was incredibly pleasant. The biggest highlights were kayaking and exploring the caves, where the water was so clear you could see the bottom. We climbed over 400 steps on Ti Top Island, and the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from the summit was truly breathtaking. The day trip was indeed a bit rushed, so if possible, I'd recommend staying overnight. However, for a short experience, it offers great value for money, and I highly recommend it! Our guide, Johnny, was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous in his service – highly commendable.

I joined the Japanese-language tour of Halong Bay! The guide's explanations were very clear, so I was able to enjoy the trip with complete peace of mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Halong Bay, and it was great to be able to sightsee efficiently. For lunch, we had a course meal, and for dinner, we stopped at a service area on the bus ride and had pho. This was also included in the tour price, which made me very happy. I had a fulfilling time even during transit, and I am extremely satisfied. I highly recommend this tour to anyone thinking of traveling to Vietnam!

Really enjoyed this cruise! Our guide, Mr. Binh, was super lively and entertaining from start to finish. He explained everything well inside the cave and made the trip even more fun. They took care of everything from pick-up to drop-off. Definitely worth the money!Highly recommended! 😊👍

Four cheers for Henry the Handsome. Thanks to Hercules Grand for making my trip memorable and remarkable. Some words for Henry, a guy with lovely gestures and well communication. Such a fantastic person with giving all his energy to describe each & every spots. Thanking you again.

Tour guide Minh is very kind. We took the bus from the Opera House. He called via WhatsApp before arriving and also contacted us the day before. After a 40-minute bus ride, we stopped at a souvenir shop where all the tour vehicles gather for a 30-minute break—be sure to use the restroom here. Upon arrival, we boarded a boat for lunch. All drinks are extra and must be paid for later. When you reach the island, you take an electric cart to the cave and then go somewhere in nature; it gets hot, so bring a portable fan. Afterward, you go kayaking and swimming, then head to the third deck to enjoy watermelon juice and music before returning. It's a great way to spend a day. Also, after visiting the island, there's a buy-two-get-one-free cocktail deal, which is a great time to have a drink. Oh, and watch out for jellyfish while swimming—be careful!

Ha Long Bay Day Trip 🚢 Well worth experiencing~ It definitely has the scale of scenery reminiscent of a mini Guilin on the water. While Surprise Cave isn't decorated with the colorful lights typical of domestic caves in China and isn't overly breathtaking, there are definitely moments that will make you exclaim "Wow." The kids' absolute favorite was kayaking 🚣, going through a small cave and discovering a completely new world on the other side. Ti Top Island (Paradise Island) has mountains, water, and a beach 🏝️—all three spots have their own unique charm. The big surprise was that our customer service representative, Kate, gave us a free upgrade to the VIP Lounge. She was so thoughtful, arranging for me and my friend's family to be in the same vehicle and seated at the same table based on our email communication. It was simply perfect~ The staff on the cruise were very enthusiastic, the transfer drivers were patient, the vehicles were very comfortable, and the tour guide's service was spot on. Um... extremely satisfied 😁~

Great experience and wonderful Journey.. Plenty of vegetarian Indian food options also. It's a proper cruise and better than other companies. Worth every penny. The staff Tonyy is very nice and polite.
