Bhaya Classic Cruise Halong Bay Destinations

The area’s exceptional scenic beauty is a result of its limestone karst towers, now islands, which come in the form of spectacular pillars and are marked by a variety of coastal erosion features such as arches and caves which only add to the majestic natural scenery.

Halong Bay has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site twice, in 1994 and 2000. Cruises bring visitors to caves, beaches and lagoons, all amidst Halong Bay’s iconic and magnificent vistas.

Sung Sot Cave

Halong Bay’s largest and most famous cave, Sung Sot Cave consists of two major chambers. The first, comparable to a theatre hall, features numerous stalactites hanging from the ceiling. From here a narrow passageway leads to the massive second chamber, where a flow of natural light brightens the surfaces of a space roomy enough to hold thousands of people.

Sung Sot Cave’s 10,000 square meters of space hold thousands of stalactites and stalagmites, and are threaded by a 500-meter paved passageway.

Trinh Nu Beach & Cave

Deep within the heart of Halong Bay, within the picturesque Bo Hon Archipelago, lies Trinh Nu Cave, known to many as the “Virgin Cave”. Just 3 km to the southeast of Sung Sot Cave, a visit to the Trinh Nu Cave blends the spellbinding natural beauty of Halong Bay with the quaint folklore imprint of Vietnamese heritage.

Cua Van Fishing Village

Cua Van floating village is exceptional as it is home to generations of fishing families and a lot of the residents never depart. It offers the opportunities to enjoy rowing boat by the local people around the village while watching how the locals live on their floating house.

Tung Sau Pearl Farm

Pearl farming has been going on for around 4,000 years but this particular pearl farm in Tung Sau, an isolated region of water in Halong, was newly founded in 1995. By combining the Japanese techniques in honing the pearl beauty with the Vietnamese’s dexterity, the pearls from this farm stand out.

Surrounded by cascading mountains that jut out from the jewel-colored waters of the bay, this place is where Halong Bay’s traditional marine culture meets modern craftsmanship.

Titov Island

Titov Island is a well-known destination in Halong Bay for the scenery it offers and its white sand beach. Although Titov is a small island, the established path up to the peak offers visitors the chance to take in a magnificent panoramic view over Halong Bay – at the cost of climbing a lot of stairs!

After you’ve conquered the peak, lay back on Titov’s crescent of white sand or take a relaxing dip in the emerald waters. A great off-board excursion for a bit of climbing and a bit of relaxing, it is no wonder so many people remember Titov Island.

Tien Ong Cave

Among Halong Bay’s less well known treasures is Tien Ong Cave, its many timeless stalactites and stalagmites located amidst the pristine landscapes of Cai Tai Island, some 20km from Halong City.

The mouth of the cave, 50m wide and 10m high, leads to a massive underground dome of some 1,000 square meters. Archaeologists have discovered fossilized animal bones, pottery shards, shells and ancient tools in Tien Ong, indicating that the cave was inhabited around 8,000-10,000 years ago.

Luon Cave

Upon passing through the cave, you enter a tranquil, round lagoon which is ringed by steep stone walls and luxuriant foliage. Monkeys leap to a fro on the cliffs, which also host benjamin fig (ficus) trees and a variety of orchids. Shrimp, fish, crab and cuttle-fish thrive in the protected environment of this lagoon.

Me Cung Cave

Me Cung Cave, located on Lom Bo Island some 2 kilometres southwest of Titop Island, has numerous chambers linked by small passageways often just large enough for one person to pass through at a time. Me Cung Cave is notable as the site of archaeological evidence of prehistoric life in this area.

Initial scientific explorations of the cave revealed piles of freshwater seashells along with fossilized animal remains. Experts believe the cave was inhabited some 7,000 to 10,000 years ago by a Stone Age culture using the bay as a food source.

Dau Go Cave

The three chambers of Dau Go Cave, spreading over some 5,000 square meters, are located just 300 meters from Thien Cung Cave, and the two are usually visited together. The beauty of Dau Go Cave is in its ancient and mossy appearance.

Its first vaulted chamber resembles a large opera hall, with the colours and shapes of its formations representing a harmonious design. The middle and rear chambers of Dau Go are full of stalactites which are carefully and colourfully lit.

Locals tell several stories about the name of this cave, one of which links the spot to the historic battle against Mongol invaders in the 13th century under the Tran Dynasty. It is said that this cave is where wooden stakes were hidden, which were later driven into the river bed to trap enemy vessels – the name “Dau Go” means wooden stakes.

Thien Cung Cave

Considered the most beautiful cave in Halong Bay, Thien Cung Cave is located only a few km from Halong City, the embarkation point of most Halong Bay cruises. The cave’s vast interior is some 3,000 square meters, including several levels and impressively high ceilings.

The stalactites and stalagmites in Thien Cung Cave come in many forms, and visitors enjoy learning the local stories about them, including the legend of the Dragon Prince falling in love the Lady of the Clouds.
