James and his team arranged for us a great cruise trip to Halong bay included: Sung sot cave, Ti top island and kayaking in Luon cave. Also, transfers included as promised,. they also arranged private car from Hanoi outskirt to airport with small fee and all were great. thank for a great trip.

Visited these caves as part of a boat day tour of Ha long bay. The caves are huge and amazing. You have to walk in the one direction through them and as there are so many boatloads of people visiting, you feel a bit rushed walking through them. There are a lot of steps up and down and very tiring in the heat, but well worth it.

Sung Sot Cave that was beautiful and huge was limestone cave. Visited this cave as part of day tour of Ha long bay. Not difficult to enter and take sightseeing through good path. We delighted to explore Sung Sot Cave that is the World natural heritage and admired stunning stalagmites and stalactites. Worth to visit.

The Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave is really impressive - pretty long with terrific stalagmites and stalactites. It was discovered by French archaeologists, after what entrances and passageways were enlarged, cave secured and open to public. It is a must stop on every Halong Bay cruise. As you might imagine this brings huge crowds, but that's understandable for a popular spot anywhere. I don't advise people with mobility issues and elderly to visit as the terrain is uneven, with narrow passages and involves climbing stairs both downhill and uphill.

Sung Sot cave in Halong Bay is a stunning place to visit. We had an absolutely stunning experience. The cave is amazingly vast and could hold thousands of people inside. It is huge and visitors can walk through it quite easily, with care, and having to negotiate a number of steps going up and down. However we never felt any sense of fear or concern about safety. There are many stalagmites and stalactites and countless rock formations inside the cave. This is a sight no one would want to miss.

Opting for a two-night stay allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the surroundings. The welcome lunch upon arrival was truly exceptional, setting the tone for the entire journey. We were treated to two memorable excursions during our stay, each offering unique insights into the region's cultural and natural treasures.

At first Tom was little impressed with the simple grotto and passages, and THEN the cave opened into a beautiful MASSIVE area. The bay’s caves had stone formations like what we recently visited on our trip to Slovenia, but this one is artificially polluted with color lights. Giving this cave a 4.4 rating. Oh I possibly forgot to give you the range of Tom’s hinge ratings = 0->5.

Sung Sot Cave, or 'Surprising Cave,' was the perfect ending to our Ha Long Bay cruise. It has three stunning chambers filled with incredible stalactite and stalagmite formations that resemble dragons, Buddhas, and more. The views are breathtaking! Make sure to bring a big bottle of water to stay hydrated!
