Explore Sung Sot Cave

Your tour stops at Sung Sot Cave where you can marvel at its massive limestone chambers illuminated by both natural light and artificial lighting. Discovered in 1938, the cave covers an area of about 250 square meters with two main halls featuring stunning rock formations that have been eroded over millions of years. Visitors spend around 30 minutes exploring the cave's vast interior, admiring its intricate stalactites and stalagmites. Sung Sot Cave is one of the largest caves in Ha Long Bay and a must-visit landmark for its unique geological features and historical significance.

Paddle Through Luon Cave

At Luon Cave, guests can paddle through calm waters surrounded by towering forested limestone cliffs that reach up to 100 meters high. The cave was formed approximately 5 million years ago when sea levels rose and carved out the rock formations along the coastline. Visitors spend about an hour exploring this natural wonder by kayak or sampan boat, enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding karsts while learning about the geological history from knowledgeable guides. Luon Cave stands out for its pristine waters and dramatic cliff faces, making it a unique destination compared to other caves in Ha Long Bay.

Ascend Titop Island

Titop Island serves as a highlight of your tour with its picturesque beach and challenging 400-step staircase leading up to the summit. The island was named after Ho Chi Minh's visit in 1962, during which he climbed these very steps for panoramic views over Ha Long Bay’s stunning seascape dotted by numerous islets. Visitors spend about two hours on Titop Island, enjoying swimming at the beach and hiking to the top where they can see an array of islands stretching into the distance. The island's unique combination of a serene beach and steep climb makes it a memorable part of your Ha Long Bay experience.
