Iconic limestone karsts and emerald waters
Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Vietnam, is a stunning natural wonder of towering limestone karsts and serene waters.
Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam’s most iconic destinations, a dreamlike seascape of limestone islands rising from emerald-green water. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s a place where legends meet nature, and where a boat cruise is the perfect way to take it all in.
What we love about Ha Long Bay tours is the sense of stillness and scale. Cruising through the bay, you’ll pass towering karsts, floating fishing villages, and hidden coves that feel worlds away from the busy mainland. Most tours include stops for kayaking, swimming, or exploring limestone caves, as well as freshly prepared meals onboard.
There’s a wide range of options depending on how much time you have. A day cruise gives a good taste of the scenery, but we recommend at least one night on the water to fully experience the calm of the bay, especially at sunrise or sunset. For a quieter alternative, Bai Tu Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay offer similar landscapes with fewer boats and just as much charm.
Ha Long Bay works for couples, families, and first-time visitors alike. Whether you're after adventure, relaxation, or just a different perspective on Vietnam’s natural beauty, a cruise here is a highlight not to be missed.
