Why This Shore Excursion Is the Best Choice for Cruise Guests
Convenience and safety are at the core of every Hanoi Shore Excursion offered by Nha Trang Day Tours. The journey begins just 50 meters from your cruise ship at Ha Long Port—there's no hassle in locating transport or organizing third-party pickups.
A Journey Through Hanoi’s Heritage
Early Departure from Ha Long Port
Your private guide greets you with a warm smile and a thorough overview of the day. As you travel in comfort from Ha Long to Hanoi (approximately 2.5 hours), you’ll gain insightful context on Vietnam’s geography, history, and customs.
Stop 1: Ho Chi Minh Complex
Upon arriving in Hanoi, you begin your journey at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, an iconic structure where Vietnam's revolutionary leader lies in rest. The complex includes the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh's humble Stilt House, and the legendary One Pillar Pagoda, one of Vietnam’s oldest Buddhist temples.
Stop 2: Museum of Ethnology or Women’s Museum
Depending on the day, you’ll visit either the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology (closed on Mondays) or the Vietnam Women’s Museum. Both offer immersive exhibits that help you understand Vietnam’s diverse cultural tapestry—from hill tribe traditions to modern urban narratives.
Stop 3: Hoa Lo Prison (Hanoi Hilton)
A solemn yet essential visit, Hoa Lo Prison is where Vietnamese revolutionaries and later, American POWs, were held. The preserved cells and historical narratives offer a vivid perspective on Vietnam’s 20th-century struggles and resilience.

Vietnamese Lunch Break
By midday, it's time to enjoy an authentic Vietnamese meal. Your guide brings you to a reputable local restaurant, serving specialties like grilled pork with vermicelli, spring rolls, caramelized fish, or vegetarian tofu clay pot. You’ll also get a taste of Vietnam’s fresh tropical fruits and local beverages.
Special dietary needs like halal or vegetarian options can be arranged with advance notice—ensuring no traveler is left out of the culinary discovery.
Afternoon Highlights
Temple of Literature
Founded in 1070, this ancient temple complex served as Vietnam’s first university. Beautiful courtyards, ancient architecture, and Confucian altars await—providing a calm space to reflect and connect with Vietnam’s educational roots.
Tran Quoc Pagoda and West Lake
Your next stop is the oldest pagoda in Hanoi, sitting serenely by West Lake. With over 1,400 years of history, this site invites you to observe the spiritual traditions that shape Vietnamese life.
Hoan Kiem Lake & Ngoc Son Temple
At the spiritual center of Hanoi, the famous Hoan Kiem Lake tells the story of a magical sword returned to the gods. Walk across the red-painted The Huc Bridge to reach Ngoc Son Temple, an elegant structure floating on the lake's waters.
Cyclo Tour in the Old Quarter
The tour concludes with a leisurely cyclo ride through the narrow streets of Hanoi’s bustling Old Quarter. Each street specializes in a particular craft—silver, herbs, silk, paper, or bamboo. This is where old Hanoi lives on, surrounded by buzzing motorbikes, street vendors, and artisan shops.
Seamless Return to Your Ship
By 4:00 PM, you’re on your way back to Ha Long Port, with enough time to freshen up before reboarding your cruise ship. No delays. No stress. Just an unforgettable day in Vietnam's capital city.
