Region Overview
Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northeast Vietnam, is renowned for its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone karsts topped by rainforests. Junk boat tours and sea kayak expeditions take visitors past islands named for their shapes, including Stone Dog and Teapot islets.
For an unforgettable experience, we recommend embarking on a luxury 2-night or 3-night cruise on a boutique vessel. This allows you to sail deeper into the less-visited Bai Tu Long Bay or Lan Ha Bay, where the water is pristine and the scenery is peaceful.
Signature Bay Activities
• Ultra-Luxury Junk Cruises: Sail on a classic hand-crafted wooden vessel, complete with private balconies, fine-dining restaurants, and sunrise Tai Chi classes on the sundeck.
• Lagoon Kayaking: Paddle through Luon Cave, a low-hanging limestone archway, to enter a hidden circular lagoon surrounded by steep vertical cliffs inhabited by wild monkeys.
• Panoramic Island Viewpoints: Hike up the stone steps of Ti Top Island to reach the summit pavilion, which offers an iconic 360-degree view of the karst-studded bay.
