TOP 5 MUST-SEE SPOTS IN HALONG BAY 🌊✨
Whether you’re taking a day cruise or spending a night on board, make sure these five iconic locations are on your itinerary—they capture the very essence of Vietnam’s UNESCO World Heritage seascape.
1. Surprise Cave (Hang Sửng Sốt)
The largest and most famous cave in the bay features three vast limestone chambers draped in stalactites and stalagmites. A short jungle walk to the entrance rewards you with panoramic bay views before you descend into a “natural cathedral” of shimmering rock formations.
2. Ti Top Island
Home to a crescent-shaped white-sand beach and a 400-step lookout, Ti Top delivers the best 360° panorama in Halong. Swim, paddleboard, or simply climb to the summit pavilion for a spectacular sunset shot.
3. Luon Cave Lagoon
Too low for big boats, Luon’s limestone arch opens into a tranquil emerald lake ringed by cliffs. Paddle a kayak or bamboo boat beneath the arch to spot playful monkeys and lush vegetation—an easy, family-friendly adventure that takes about 30–40 minutes.
4. Cua Van Floating Village
Nestled between towering karsts, Cua Van is the bay’s largest floating community. Glide past brightly painted houseboats, try your hand at night squid-fishing, and hear traditional “hat gheo” folk songs for an unforgettable cultural encounter.
5. Heavenly Palace Cave (Hang Thiên Cung)
Perched 25 m above sea level on Dau Go Island, this 10,000 m² cavern dazzles with dramatic stalactite “sculptures” accentuated by subtle lighting—like stepping into a mythic palace carved from stone.
QUICK TIPS
Wear soft, non-slip shoes.
Bring a light jacket and water; cave interiors are cooler than outside.
Book a cruise package that includes sightseeing fees to skip ticket lines.
