    Halong Bay Itinerary - Planet Travel Advisor

    Your Vietnam Beach vacation begins with a trip to Halong Bay, a collection of almost 2000 islands and jungle-clad limestone pillars in the Tonkin Gulf. Called “Bay of Descending Dragons” in Vietnamese, the archipelago is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a world-famous travel destination.

    Leave the hotel with a shuttle bus and go to Halong with a pass-through of fantastic scenery en route to tranquil villages and buffalo on fields.

    Upon arrival, enjoy a welcome drink and a delicious freshly caught seafood lunch while sailing out of the Bay, passing amazing-shaped mountains. Enjoy the seascape from the sundeck or even in your private cabin through a glass window. To get more experience, go swimming or kayaking and visit caves on the island. In the late afternoon, we take part in a Vietnamese cooking demonstration by the onboard chefs and enjoy the seafood feast for dinner as stars emerge from behind those jungle-clad limestone pillars.

    We spend the night on board in the elegant cabin, which has handicraft wooden interiors and air conditioning. Alternatively, we can go night fishing before our overnight stay aboard.
