Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Vietnam, known for offering plenty of cruising options and boat exploration opportunities, perfect for seabound travellers.
Halong Bay is one of Vietnam’s most iconic settings and a must-visit for people exploring South East Asia. It’s no exaggeration to describe the area as a little slice of paradise, complete with thousands of limestone karsts and protruding islets, best seen from smaller boat tours. If you prefer getting a little closer to the water, it’s also a great place to kayak, swim or explore its many natural caves. On dry land, there are many little floating villages and fishing communities, offering a unique way to understand how the locals are connected to the water so profoundly. As you can see by our itineraries, it’s also a popular cruise stop and starting point, so make sure you consider it on your travels.
