  Sung Sot Cave

  Sung Sot Cave – The Most Stunning Cave in Halong Bay Sung Sot Cave is the largest and most beautiful cave in Halong Bay, first explored by a French expedition in 1901 and opened for tourism in 1993. The total area is 10,000 m², divided into three chambers: ~300 m², ~700 m², and ~9,000 m², the most impressive final chamber. To explore the cave, visitors climb about 100 steps, walk around 1.2 km inside, then climb another 100 steps and descend 200 steps to return to the boat. The tour follows a one-way path. Health Advisory: Guests with joint, heart, or mobility issues are advised to stay on the boat and relax, as the cave tour involves many steps and walking.

  Ti Top Island

  TiTop Island – Halong Bay Escape Discover TiTop Island, located in the heart of Halong Bay. Spend around 50 minutes enjoying two activities: Mountain Climb: Climb 400 steps to the summit (10–15 min up, 10 min down) for breathtaking panoramic views of Halong Bay. Beach Time: Relax at the natural beach, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply unwinding. Both activities are self-guided, so you can choose either one or both. Note: During peak season, weekends, or Vietnamese holidays, the island can be crowded and the stairway congested. In such cases, 50 minutes may only allow time for the climb, leaving little time for the beach. Plan accordingly to make the most of your visit.
