Cuising Halong Bay


First destination – UNESCO World Heritage: Halong Bay, which is peppered with thousands of small beautiful islands.  The best way of enjoying Halong Bay is by a cruise around the islands. The tour took two days with one night on the boad. The group was small, the food was fantastic and the tour guide was very good – really enjoyable tour.


First destination was the „Amazing Cave“. I don’t know exactly why this place is called like that, but I assume it's because it‘s a cave ;)


Kayaking around the islands is a good way to get closer to the steep rocky islands to make you feel even smaller.


Swimming is basically essential to cool down of the baking heat.


The second day was all about cruising around this amazing area and visiting a small fishermans island, before heading back to the mainland and taking the bus back to Hanoi along little villages and rice fields. Halong Bay was a very good start of the trip. It felt like 2 hours on the tour and I would have loved to stay a few more days cruising all around Cat Ba Island (the biggest island of them), but as usual, you have to leave something behind, which makes you come back…
