Getting there

Walking

If you're in the main tourist area of Ha Long, start by heading towards the waterfront. From the Bai Chay Bridge, walk along the promenade until you reach the Tuan Chau Island ferry terminal. Look for signs directing you to the Tuan Chau area. Once you reach the terminal, you can either take a shuttle bus or a taxi to reach Lô 26 Tuần Châu, where the Halong Bay Cruise is located. The total walking distance is approximately 3 kilometers, which should take around 30-40 minutes.

Bicycle

Rent a bicycle from one of the local shops near the Bai Chay area. Cycle along the coastal road towards Tuan Chau Island. Follow the signs to Tuan Chau, and when you reach the island, continue until you see Lô 26 Tuan Chau. The ride is about 4 kilometers and should take roughly 20-25 minutes, depending on your cycling speed.

Public Bus

Take a public bus from your location to Tuan Chau Island. Look for bus number 14, which connects the main areas of Ha Long with Tuan Chau. Board the bus and stay on until you reach the Tuan Chau terminal. From there, it’s a short walk (about 10 minutes) to Lô 26 Tuan Chau. The bus ride is about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.

If you're looking for a quicker and more comfortable option, you can hail a taxi from anywhere in Ha Long.
