Halong Bay Cruise

If you decide to visit Halong bay during your stay in Vietnam, you can book 1 or 2 day’s cruise including a transport from Hanoi, in any of the tourist agencies around the city. Trip from Hanoi to Halong bay is around 2.5 hours. Once you get onto the boat, depending if its luxury or regular cruise, you will be served lunch and drinks, after lunch you can go to upper deck to enjoy gorgeous limestone mountains raising up from emerald waters. Halong bay is also part of UNESCO World heritage site so that s one more reason to visit this place. On the tour you will stop at TiTop island (named by Soviet Union Cosmonaut) where you can swim or go for a hiking tour around the island. Next stop is Sung Sot cave on Bo Hon island. After a climb of about 200 steps you will enter largest and most visited cave with a reason. It s absolutely beautiful. Cave is about 500 meters long and around 30 meters high. It was first found by French in 1901. And it s definitely one of the best part of the journey. At the end of the day you will have about an hour to do some kayaking and enjoy nature from the water :) And for the end of the day my recommendation is to grab a drink, go to upper deck and enjoy the sight of limestone mountains while the sun is setting down. Absolutely wonderful trip…
