From Hanoi/Ha Long: Ha Long Bay ALOVA Cruise Day Tour - Cave, Kayak & Buffet Lunch

Discover Ha Long Bay in one day
aboard the ALOVA Cruise

This is a day tour of about 12 hours aboard the ALOVA Cruise, departing by bus from Hanoi Old Quarter or joining at Tuan Chau Harbor in Ha Long. With an English-speaking guide, enjoy a limestone cave visit, kayaking or a bamboo boat ride, a buffet lunch on board and a sunset party, all in one day.

Explore a limestone cave in Ha Long Bay

Cruise into the heart of the bay and admire limestone karsts rising from emerald waters. Visit one of Ha Long Bay's limestone caves with stalactites and stalagmites formed over millions of years, and learn about the region's geology and cultural heritage from your guide.

Paddle through hidden lagoons
by kayak or bamboo boat

Paddle a kayak yourself or ride a traditional bamboo boat through hidden lagoons and quiet passages between the limestone islands. You will see a side of Ha Long Bay that cannot be seen from the cruise. Kayaking and swimming are optional, and you can stay on board to relax.

Buffet lunch on board
and a sunset party

Enjoy a buffet lunch of Vietnamese and local dishes with panoramic bay views. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available. In the afternoon, wrap up the cruise with a sunset party featuring complimentary drinks and cake.

Easy transfers from Hanoi

Hanoi departure options include pickup in Hanoi Old Quarter and a round trip on the new expressway by standard bus (max 33 pax) or limousine bus (max 19 pax). If you are staying in Ha Long, choose the option to join directly at Tuan Chau Harbor.
