Sung Sot Cave

The cave itself is stunning and huge. One of the biggest i've seen. Pretty incredible what mother nature can do. However, the place is overcrowded. We were there in low season and queues were reallly big. Tons of ships arriving one after another.

We visited these caves as the last stop of our tour, and they were absolutely breathtaking. The rock formations were stunning, especially the final cave, which, according to our guide, is over 10,000 square meters in size. It was also noticeably cooler inside compared to the outside heat, making the visit even more enjoyable. Definitely worth it!

Sung Sot Cave is an impressive natural wonder in Ha Long Bay. The cave is spacious, with stunning stalactites and stalagmites that make every corner feel magical. Walking through the illuminated paths gives you a real sense of the scale and beauty of the formations. It’s well-maintained for visitors, and the guided walk helps highlight the unique shapes and features. A fascinating stop that adds adventure and awe to any Ha Long Bay tour.

Sung Sot Cave is beautiful and definitely worth a visit for its stunning formations and spacious chambers. The hike to the cave is fairly easy and manageable for most people, but do expect a lot of stairs. However, it was extremely crowded during our visit, which took away a bit from the overall experience. It can be hard to fully enjoy the serenity and scale of the cave when you're surrounded by large tour groups. If possible, try to go early in the morning or during off-peak times to avoid the rush.

This is an incredible natural wonder, but be ready for large crowds - especially during peak hours. The cave features stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations, dramatic chambers, and well-lit pathways that make exploring easy. The tour is well-guided, and platforms allow you to safely enjoy the incredible rock formations. While the cave is beautiful and impressive, the number of visitors can make it feel rushed and less peaceful. If you go, try to visit early or later in the day for a slightly quieter experience. Still, it’s a must-see highlight of Halong Bay!

This was our last and best stop among three of them. It was quite cool compared to other two stops so you will feel little relax here. It was really very huge cave you have to climb around 120 stairs to enter this cave. Sufficient lightning was also there so you won’t find any difficulty in finding way. I suggest you that if you can’t complete it then please don’t enter in it because it is one way cave as told by our guide.

Ha Long Bay is without a doubt a place worth staying overnight to truly appreciate its magic. Known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the bay is home to thousands of limestone karsts and islets rising dramatically from emerald-green waters. While a day trip offers a glimpse of its beauty, spending a night here transforms the experience into something unforgettable. As the sun begins to set, the golden light casts a warm glow over the rocky formations, creating a dreamy, almost surreal landscape. Cruising slowly between the towering cliffs, you can feel the tranquility settle in as the bustle of daytime visitors fades away. When night falls, the bay becomes even more serene – the water reflects the moonlight, the air is fresh and quiet, and the only sounds are the gentle lapping of the waves against the boat. An overnight cruise allows you to explore hidden corners of Ha Long Bay that most tourists never see. You can visit floating fishing villages, kayak into secluded lagoons, or simply relax on the deck with a drink in hand, watching the stars appear one by one. Waking up early the next morning is a reward in itself – the mist drifts slowly over the water, the sun rises behind the karsts, and the whole bay feels like it’s holding its breath in peaceful stillness. Staying overnight in Ha Long Bay isn’t just a trip, it’s an immersion into nature’s masterpiece. It’s the kind of experience where time slows down, your mind clears, and every view feels like a painting you’ll carry with you forever.
