Tien Ong Cave

13:00 Visit Tien Ong Cave, a natural karst cave in the middle of the sea that contains not only beautiful stalactites and stalagmites but also historical and cultural values of prehistoric sea fishermen from thousands of years ago.
Tien Ong Cave, one of the most stunning limestone caves in Ha Long with a finely constructed karst landscape, has captured the hearts of countless local and international visitors who have been captivated by its unspoiled magnificence. While Tien Ong Cave boasts exceptional and distinct qualities, it distinguishes itself from Ha Long Bay caves. The traditional narrow entrances and expansive interiors, commonly observed in most Halong Bay caves, take a remarkable turn with the cave's unique configuration

village by kayak or local rowed bamboo boat

Learn more about the lifestyle and customs of the local people from the time they were born until they passed away at the village's quaint museum.

Cua Van of former times used to be among the biggest floating villages of Halong Bay residential area. Despite being in the middle of the sea, Cua Van village is not disturbed by the strong wind blowing in different directions. The main reason behind that is the surrounding cluster of islands which prevents the rush of air from completely getting through, acting as an important contributing place for boats to anchor themselves when a storm hits the zone.
