• 11:00-11:15 AM: Take a break en route at a Rest Stop near Halong Bay City. Relax at a Pearl Workshop, where you can witness the collection and refinement of this precious gem from the bay, transforming it into luxurious jewelry.

Along the way, soak in the extraordinary scenery of thousands of limestone islands.

• 2:20 PM: Arrive at the Hoa Cuong area, one of the most enchanting corners of Ha Long Bay. Surrounded by majestic limestone mountains, Hoa Cuong unveils a mysterious world with its wild and graceful beauty. Resembling a slumbering princess, it eagerly awaits your discovery. Notably, you will encounter a beautiful limestone islet rising from the sea in the form of a giant thumb, aptly named Thumb Rock. Nature has placed Thumb Rock here to convey a message of goodness to every passenger cruising through Ha Long. Make sure your camera is ready to capture the mesmerizing views this place offers.

The cruise then proceeds towards the Ba Hang area, where you will see notable rock formations such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, Fighting Cock Rock, and Lu Hung Islet (formerly known as Ba Hang fishing village).
