OVERVIEW
Halong Bay- majestic and spectacular, the
present the Nature Mother gave for Vietnam. Coming to Halong Bay is coming to a
new Wonder of the world to enjoy and admire the magical creative of the Nature.
Your adventure begins when the cruise boat slowly pulls away from the dock
sailing towards the bay in the Gulf of Tonkin, cool salty sea breeze blowing
lightly and the sights of the islands and islets rising from the sea as you
approach them seems to rejuvenate your tired mind and body on this boat ride.
The journey to explore the bay takes you into a world of vivid
tales and legends of this country. In the calm blue clear waters of this
pristine bay, you will see towering limestone islands which resemble human
heads and figures standing in the sea facing the mainland.
Lan Ha Bay - just the exquisite name alone has been pulling a
large number of travellers from near and far. In reality, regardless of the
administrative boundary, Lan Ha Bay is part of the complex of Halong Bay with
around 400 islets. But unlike its famous neighbour, Lan Ha Bay has long been
famed for its exclusive scenery with an intense concentration of pristine
limestone mountains by which the sea surface is partitioned into smaller bays
and gulfs. The Bay is home to hundreds of mounts of which forms and beauty are
completely different depending on travellers' imagination: Guoc islet (Wooden
Shoe islet), Doi islet (Bat grotto), etc.
The bay has 139 beautiful, small and pristine sandy beaches,
many of which lie between two stone mountains. Just imagine that after a long
day of exploration of caves and grottoes, you will feel entirely relaxed
bathing the azure-blue water of the beach or lying on the white sandy beach.

 Besides sightseeing, tourists have the opportunity to take part

Vietnamese excellent chefs will teach you to cook some unique Vietnamese
dishes. |
