Overview of your Halong tour

Discover the beauty of Halong Bay on a relaxing 4-hour cruise departing from the docking area. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay is famed for its breathtaking seascape of nearly 2,000 limestone islands, many untouched and covered in lush greenery—perfect for exploration and unforgettable views. Along the way, enjoy a peaceful stop at Yen Duc Village, a hidden gem in the Red River Delta. This charming rural village offers an authentic glimpse into traditional Vietnamese life, where rice farming remains at the heart of the community. Stroll through scenic rice fields, visit local homes and gardens, and connect with friendly villagers as they go about their daily routines. Yen Duc is the perfect place to unwind, offering a genuine and refreshing contrast to the dramatic landscapes of Halong Bay.
