Upon arriving at Lot. 27 Tuan Chau Harbor, guests will check-in and board the Amethyst Day Cruise for a journey to discover the World Heritage Halong Bay at 10:00.
After 30 minutes, enjoy a welcome drink as the cruise departs from Tuan Chau Harbor while passing through the legendary bay with thousands of limestone islands, such as Dog Rock, Duck Rock, and Thumb Rock.
These rock formations are located in the vicinity of Ba Hang fishing village and are popular tourist attractions in Halong Bay. Visitors can take a scenic boat ride through the area to get a closer look at these natural wonders and marvel at the intricate details of these rock formations. The impressive size and unique shapes of these rocks offer a memorable experience and a great opportunity to take stunning photographs.
Indulge in a huge buffet lunch featuring an array of dishes including seafood and traditional Vietnamese food.
Afternoon
In the early afternoon , explore Sung Sot Cave, the largest and most beautiful cave in Halong Bay, with the tour guide. The cave is divided into two main chambers, with the first chamber being the larger of the two and containing various formations resembling animals, plants, and objects such as a Buddha statue and a tortoise. You can explore the cave by following a well-lit path and stairway that winds through the various chambers and formations. Other guests who can't walk much can relax on the sundeck.
After spending 1 hour discovering Sung Sot Cave, move to Luon Cave for kayaking in about 30 minutes. You should transfer to a kayak or a smaller vessel to access the cave, where you'll find a large, circular lake with crystal-clear water and breathtaking views of the surrounding limestone cliffs. The cave is also home to a diverse range of marine life, with colorful fish swimming in the clear waters and unique rock formations lining the walls.
Then visit Titov Island, which features a beautiful sandy beach, clear blue water, and stunning panoramic views of Halong Bay. You can climb to the top of the island's hill for a breathtaking view or enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and various water activities on the beach.
Finally, return to the cruise and get ready for the Sunset Party, where Vietnamese tea, coffee, fresh fruits, and snacks will be served while guests relax on the sundeck or in the Jacuzzi. On the way back, the cruise will pass by the Hoa Cuong area, one of the most beautiful spots in the bay.

Amethyst Cruise is a good choice for a 5-star day cruise in Halong Bay, suitable for tourists who don’t have much time to travel. As the cruise is newly launched, both the interior and exterior are new. We appreciate the staff and services, which is one of the cruise’s strong points. A long trip with a duration of up to 7.5 hours enables explorers to catch a glance at this wonderful heritage site.
Facilities & Amenities - 9.8/10
With a total of 3 decks, the cruise’s capacity is huge - about 100 people onboard. The 1st and 2nd decks are restaurants with classy designs of Eastern and Western style, and large glass windows provide vast Halong views for guests while they enjoy their meals.
The 2nd deck also has balconies to admire the bay, all balustrades are made of glass, which gives a better experience onboard. The sundeck is a wonderful place to unwind, having a Jacuzzi and delicate lounges.
Pros

- Relaxing 4-season Jacuzzi and nice lounge on sundeck
- Clean, modern toilets & coated bathrooms, toiletries are equipped fully
- All-glass balustrades give a more enjoyable experience while viewing the scenery of the bay
- Restaurants with large capacity: 1st deck - 60 guests, 2nd deck - 30 guests. The window’s glass is UV & sunlight-blocking
Cons
- Should have more coated bathrooms for guests (There are 6 coated bathrooms and 4 toilets for male & female in both 2 desks; if the cruise have a large number of guests onboard, some will have to wait long to use)
- Wifi onboard is not stable
Foods & Drinks - 9/10
The food concentrates on Vietnamese cuisine, with many tasty seafood dishes. The meal is quite good, while drinks (including a welcome drink and afternoon tea) are refreshing and tasty.
Pros
- Types of food are various, consisting of Vietnamese traditional cuisine, Asian & European food, as well as vegetarian food for vegans.
- Seafood comprises a high proportion of buffet lunch, seafood is fresh and delicious
Cons
- Dishes are limited; should offer more dishes for buffet lunch
Activities - 9.8/10
The cruise provides diverse activities for guests that are suitable for both seniors and young people, from exploring dry caves, kayaking, swimming, climbing, etc. For relaxation lovers, you can just stay on the cruise and chill on the sundeck.
Pros
- Long time onboard - up to 7.5 hours
- Variety of fun activities for travelers, especially kayaking through Luon Cave and climbing to the peak of Titov Island for a panoramic view of Halong
Cons
- Sung Sot Cave will be explored first before the buffet lunch, so guests may feel tired after the cave tour
Services - 10/10
Though the cruise is new, the services on board are exceptional. The staff team of Amethyst is kind, friendly, and professional.
Pros
- The staff is knowledgeable, tourists are introduced to the destination before visiting
- Attentive to guests if they need any help, as well as always paying attention to safety onboard if children move to a dangerous area

Quite interested in your package for tomorrow morning, for three people. We are just curious it says lunch at the end of your itinerary, but then it doesn’t mention it in the price of including things. Could you confirm if there is lunch or not? And could you confirm that you are starting at 10 AM from the port : Chợ Cảng Tầu Quốc Tế Tuần Châu A1 ( The A1 Tuan Chau International Port Market ) We will make a decision shortly after we receive a response. Kindly, Jung Family

A typical route to Halong Bay, only 8 hours to go on a full itinerary and fun activities. It's great. The staff was really nice, but the buffet menu needs to be more diverse. If the crowds are your concern, it's better to travel on winter days. Anyways, the cruise ship is really new and clean.
The two most interesting features I was impressed with about Amethyst are the great cruise quality and full facilities for a day cruise in Halong. Especially, the tender was superb without fuel smell and good air conditioning. However, the transfer made me a bit disappointed because of the delay. Overall, it was satisfying when booking with BestPrice Travel.
