Things to do in Bai Chay Beach

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.

Vincent was kind, humorous, and a really fun guide. He also took great photos for us. The tour required a bit of physical stamina, but it was packed with sightseeing spots, activities, and great meals. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends.

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!

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.

Best value on money to have this trip. On time, the guide is nice and funny. The itinerary was top notch we were having so much fun. I like the cruise trip the most. it was clean and comfy. Even the food was nice. would love to get back

Due to the storm, our tour was rescheduled for a few days later. The tour itself was wonderful. The children were absolutely delighted and wanted to go again. We also really liked our guide, Tinh. Special thanks to him for taking beautiful photos of our entire family.

We had such a wonderful experience with Diamond Cruise in Ha Long Bay! The food was delicious, the trip was well-organized, and the views were absolutely stunning. Our tour guide was also amazing, very friendly, helpful! Everything made the trip so enjoyable and memorable. Definitely recommend Diamond Cruise to anyone visiting Ha Long Bay! 💙

We were picked up at the hotel on the day of the tour, and the entire experience was extremely satisfying! We participated in mid-October, and thanks to the wonderful weather, Ha Long Bay was stunningly beautiful—many times more so than we could have imagined. In particular, the stairs on Titov Island are tougher than expected and you will work up a sweat (I climbed them in sandals). Older guests were climbing them too, so it should generally be fine, but it's best to be mindful of your footwear and take precautions against heatstroke. Our guide was cheerful, kept the mood lively, and entertained us the whole time with clear and easy-to-understand explanations. Although there are some low reviews, if you join with a mindset of "let's have fun!," this is a wonderful tour that will undoubtedly become your best memory.

Giving us gourgeous experiences. Every staff is caring and smiling that made us relaxed and retreated. If you'd like to play kayaking to the cave, bring swimsuits and learn a bit in advance how to row!
