A working pearl farm where you can watch oysters seeded by hand and learn how Ha Long’s pearls are cultivated.
At Tung Sau, staff demonstrate the patient craft of pearl cultivation, from seeding the oyster to the years of waiting before a pearl is harvested.
It is a popular, hands-on stop on longer itineraries, with a small showroom where the graded pearls are displayed.

Who it suits
Curious travellers and couples. The pace and accessibility still vary with weather, tide and the number of boats arriving at the same time.
How to see it at its best
Morning and late-afternoon visits are usually quieter than the middle of the day. Overnight cruises can reach popular landmarks outside the peak day-boat window, while two-night routes have more freedom to use the quieter hours.
Choose the route, not just the boat
Not every itinerary stops here even when it sails the same bay. Tell us this place matters to you and we will confirm which current routes include it before you book.
