A spontaneous solo cruise trip to Halong Bay

This trip was unplanned. I woke up and booked the cruise at 8:30 AM.
The cruise name is Amethyst Cruise.
I booked it for 1,450,000 VND per person, including lunch.
The departure was at 10:30 AM. The staff were lovely. Since I traveled alone, they helped take photos for me. The food on the cruise was also good.
This trip included 3 stops:
1. Sung Sot Cave: A 45-minute walk to explore the stalactites (there's a free photo spot and free keychain souvenirs).
2. Hang Luon: Bamboo boat ride, kayaking, or speedboat ride (additional 300,000 VND).
3. Ti Top Island: A hike to the top for a scenic view. The stairs are steep and narrow, and it was crowded. There's a beach for those who want to swim in the sea. Spent 1 hour here before heading back to the cruise for snacks, tea, and enjoying the view on the way back to the pier.
