Ha Long Bay half-day shore excursion from Ha Long Port

Discover the gorgeous Ha Long Bay! This magical place is located in the North of Vietnam and has 120 kilometers of pristine coastline. Ha Long Bay means "Bay of the Descending Dragon" in the local language and it's famous for the cluster of 3000 limestone monolithic islands, each topped with thick jungle vegetation, which rises spectacularly from the ocean. Several of the islands are hollow with enormous caves. Kickstart your tour with a dreamy cruise and explore the stunning scenery of thousands of limestone mountains, through emerald waters, passing by the Dog Stone and the Burning Incense Islets. You'll also get to explore the Heaven Grotto (Thien Cung Cave) – which has opened to the public since 1998 with stalagmites and stalactites. You'll also get to visit Dau Go Cave and then enjoy a seafood lunch (served with Vietnamese traditional dishes as well as vegetarian options) while cruising back to the dock and returning to port.
