Spend a day cruising Halong Bay aboard a 5-star Sky Cruise: open-air Jacuzzi, seafood buffet, kayaking through Luon Cave, and visits to Sung Sot Cave and Titop Island. This full-day trip pairs hands-on exploration with onboard comfort for travelers leaving from Hanoi.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun hits the open-air Jacuzzi and the Sky Cruise slides past a forest of limestone towers; seawater hisses against the hull and the karsts seem to watch as you drift between them. On this full-day loop from Hanoi you spend the day on a 5-star dayboat, moving from sheltered channels into broad emerald bays, stepping ashore at sandy Titop Island and descending into the cool vaults of Sung Sot Cave.

Bring motion-sickness remedies
The bay is usually calm but the return trip and open ocean sections can be rough — pack pills or wristbands if you’re susceptible.
Wear non-slip water shoes
Decks and island beaches are wet and uneven; closed-sole water shoes improve stability for boarding, kayaking, and the Titop climb.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect your skin and the marine environment during swimming or kayaking stops.
Carry a small change of cash
Bring local currency for tips, snacks onshore, or optional bamboo-boat rides in floating villages.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin and reduces harm to marine life during swimming or on-deck time.
