Halong Bay is one of the must-see attractions in Vietnam, even for travelers on a time budget. This full-day tour of the UNESCO-listed bay is the perfect choice if you're trying to squeeze in a quick trip from Hanoi. Take it easy with all-inclusive transportation plus lunch, and enjoy kayaking, swimming, and hiking to the Ti Top Island vista point.
You cannot miss the opportunity to take a cruise as Ha Long Bay is the best sailing destination. Taking a cruise ship to see the islands is an ideal way to appreciate the overall scenery.
You can enjoy sightseeing the caves and karst formations, visit uninhabited islands, an oyster farm, and a floating village, and experience sea kayaking.
Ha Long Bay contains numerous limestone islands. Some have interesting shapes. The most famous are Cockfight Rock (looking like two cocks fighting, the symbol of Vietnamese tourism), Incense Burner, and Man's Head.
If you have enough in your budget, exploring the scenery with a seaplane flight is highly recommended. Watch in awe as you fly over the pillars reaching up from the emerald waters. It's awesome!
