Tour Description:
Discover Ha Long Bay, a body of water spanning approximately 1,500 square kilometers in North Vietnam, with 120 kilometers of coastline in the Gulf of Tonkin. Its name means “Bay of the Descending Dragon”. Ha Long Bay has about 3,000 limestone islands covered in jungle, rising straight out of the sea. Many of these islands are hollow, featuring massive caves, while others host floating villages where fishermen thrive, catching over 200 species of fish and 450 types of mollusks.
Take a boat around the bay, surrounded by thousands of limestone mountains. Sail through the emerald waters, passing by notable landmarks like Cho Da (Dog Stone) and Dinh Huong Islet (Incense Burner Islet), which resembles a giant incense burner, its four pins only visible at low tide. Next, visit the Fighting-Rooster Islets and explore Thien Cung Cave (Heaven Palace Cave), known for its stalagmites and stalactites. The approach to Thien Cung Cave is via a winding pathway, enveloped in thick jungle. Inside, the cave is dry, with many chambers and high ceilings. There are steps up to the entrance
