What you'll see and do
Halong Bay
Halong Bay is a beautiful natural wonder in northern Vietnam near the Chinese border. The Bay is dotted with 1,600 limestone islands and islets and covers an area of over 1,500 sqkm. This extraordinary area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. For many tourists, this place is like something right out of a movie. The fact is that Halong Bay features a wide range of biodiversity, while the surrealistic scenery has indeed featured in endless movies. 7:45 – 8:30 am: The tour guide will pick you up at the lobby of your hotel or provided addresses in the Old Quarter to start Halong Bay 1 day tour. After 3-3.5 hours of driving, you will get to the Tuan Chau Habour. On the way, you will enjoy the beauty of Vietnamese countryside scenery such as rice fields with busy farmers working, using Vietnamese traditional methods of cultivation. Then, you will have a short break half way of the drive. 12:00 – 12:30 pm: You will be welcomed on the Halon Bay Cruise, the highlight of Halong bay day trip. Lunch will be prepared and served to you on board by the crew. While having lunch, the captain will drive the cruise around the most beautiful islets among thousands of limestone islands such as Dog islet, Incense Burner Islet, Fighting Cock Islet etc. One stop of the 4-hour cruise is Dong Thien Cung (Heavenly Palace Cave), located on a remote island in the bay. As the name suggests, the cave is adorned with fantastic stalactites and stalagmites as well as colored lights, which transforms the scene into a fairytale palace. Another activity of Halong Bay 1 day tour you could expect during the cruise is the stop at Ba Hang Area, where you could either join the bamboo boat ride or kayaking for 40 minutes to feel the Bay closer. 4:00 pm: Return to the harbor around and we will stop for one break in the middle of the way so you have a chance to go to the restroom or have a drink. 8:00 – 8:30 pm: Arrive in Hanoi city center, and you will be dropped off at your hotel. Finish the unforgettable Halong Bay full day Trip.

Great day trip!!!
Fantastic trip to Ha Long Bay with Tung was my highlight in Hanoi. Our guide Tung was very kind, great communicator and super fun! I 100% recommend the trip includes lunch, kayak, cave visits and hike and its very affordable. Highly recommend! Thanks Tung and the all crew for making the day amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

Trip was good, guide was ok not great
The place is beautiful and everything was as described except a stop at an oyster/pearl store, but there were lots of busses there. The bus itself was uncomfortable with very little leg room. The boat ride was amazing. There was lots of food on board. I wish the guidw would have pointed out more islands than just the kissing chickens. We learned more on our 20 min speedboat ride (extra cost) than we did from our guide. The kayak or bamboo boat were included. We did the bamboo boat as well and that was fun. Surprising Cave was beyond words. I was surprised though, when I went inside, that the guide did not come with us as there were many guides with their groups inside. The drive was safe and we appreciated the bathroom stops. All in all a good day!

Awesome tour with great views
Very great experience! You have to do that tour. The tour guide Luan was brilliant and really kind. We had a great lunch at the boat with fresh seafood. After travelling with the boat through Halong Bay, we had a Kayak tour, a stop at the Cave and the island. The views were beautiful. After all we had an incredible sunset on the boat when travelling back to the harbour. Thanks for that great tour!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.
How much does Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ha Long Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ha Long Bay is not rushed.
Is Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ha Long Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ha Long Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Halong Bay Full Day Tour with All-Inclusive: Boat, Kayak, Island, Cave and Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ha Long Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ha Long Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Ha Long Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All Inclusive 2 Days Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay on Au Co cruise, Top Tier: Overnight Ha Long Bay Cruise 5-Star, Balcony Cabin-2D1N, All inclusive Bhaya 2-Day Halong Bay Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ha Long Bay?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ha Long Bay?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
