This is a top pick! ... had a really good selection. After lunch we were told we would cruise to a fishing village with 400 floating houses. The bay is as stunning as everyone says it is! The legend behind it involves a family of dragons that were sent by the ...
Racking up the world heritage sites
This is a top pick! ... cost 2 - 3 times as much as a typical Vietnam tour (where you would expect that sort of shoddiness). Luckily for the tour agency, Halong Bay is truly spectacular, and the other tourists were a great bunch of people to be stuck on a boat with, so we were ...
First stop was to halong bay where i ...
This is a top pick! ... 4am, then all was silent...Phew at last. Silence, but then the street dogs started barking like crazy, until around 5. From Halong bay, i diverted via Hanoi and travelled up to the mountain village of Sapa. The bus trip took me 15 hours to travel the ...
Bai tu long bay w/ none of the mess
... hanoi. Anyway we caught two seemingly endless buses to Don Van island in bai tu long bay which is north of halong bay. It's amazingly beautiful, old fishing boats are crowding the pier w/ dredgers and nets. They eat a lot of mollusks ...
Scary bus ride & then scary boat news!
Left Ninh Binh in pouring rain at 5.30am & went on a public bus to Halong Bay. It was the most terrifying stressful trip with very fast crazy driving & overtaking & very loud ongoing beeping of the horn. The horns here are much louder & ...
Ha Long Bay
... site featuring thousands of limestone karsts riddled with caves jutting out almost vertically from the sea. We spent 3 days traveling around the bay and Cat Ba Island, a national park. Our bus arrived at the harbor at around 11 on the first day, and ...
All I Want Is a Photograph
... a beach where we found so many cool shells. Then we saw a small fish farm. There are people who actually live out in Halong Bay on these floating houses, tending to their fish farms. They have really scary dogs who protect their farms and bark like crazy ...
Halong Bay on an overnight Junk
2 Days one night on the Santa Maria Junk at Halong Bay. Great boat, great company, great food and amazing scenery...what more could you want?? .... some exercise...ok .. and kyaking. - a wonderful couple of ...
Cloudy and Mysterious Limestone Islands
... only 3 hours from the Chinese border, after all). It's fair to say we were happy to depart for Hanoi early the following morning. Halong Bay is a beautiful place, but it's fair to say there's not much to do ashore. So here's a big tip for fellow ...
Overnight Train
... had to check out of the room at 8am and go up to the restaurant. I'd missed breakfast so I just anticipated a brief trip through the bay back to land. This was not to be the case, for whatever reason it took about 4 hours for us to get back, the ...
Mini Milford
In Ha Long Bay schieben wir unser Holzboot erstmal durch die Tourimassen. Nache dem ersten Gewuehl entschaedigt aber die Aussicht. Es schifft zwar die ganze Zeit, aber beim Kajaken ist es eh egal von wo das Wasser kommt. Tolle Gesteinsformationen ...
Halong bay, lohikaarme laskeutuu
Retki Halong Baylle. Ihan mukavaa olla ilman sadetta. Lahdella seilaa satoja laivoja, satojen kallioisten saarten seassa. Kannella on mukava katsella maisemia ja olla vaan. Kaytiin myos melomassa kajakilla, mentiin kivisten tunnelien ja luolien lapi. ...
Halong Bay
... clothes with them which we doubted but we said they were welcome to try. Luckily the day got better and we got on the bus to Halong Bay and met a nice couple called Kirk and Michelle. The bus was about 3 hours to the bay and when we got there we got ...
Halong Bay
... has flourished to a point where it rivals Costa Rica in service and capacity and is ten times cheaper. We just spent 3 days in Halong Bay on this boat (junk boat). We will post pictures later on once we find a place to upload. Basically we were in ...
Life on the ocean waves
... yes ther bar with kids stools and wash the glasses in ditch water, but then what do you expect for 30p a pint! The caves at Halong are amazing, which is what one of them is called. We were told that the islands ...all 1,996 were created by a dragon. ...
Keeping Everything Ship Shape
... fun and no doubt we will see a few of them again in Laos. Hoi An, Hanoi and Halong Bay were excellent and the scenery in Vietnam is so far the most beautiful. It is quintessentially South East Asian. Distant Mountains, rice fields and ...
We're engaged!!
... for our 3 day trip to Halong Bay. There were four other people plus our tour guide on our bus. The ride to Halong Bay city was 3 1/2 hours. Once we got there we got on board our boat the Dragon Pearl. The boat is really pretty. ...
Shiver Me Timbers!
... us lots of advice for our trip there. Another memorable twosome were a couple of Scouse lads who certainly livened the boat up! Halong Bay is a very beautiful place to visit. When we first set off from the harbour we were a bit concerned about the time ...
Beautiful is an Understatement
Halong Bay We road three hours through picturesque rice field and arrived in Halong Bay. We loaded our 16 passenger ship that resembled an old pirate ship. It was a beautiful vessel. We had two days in Halong Bay but could have easily ...
Wow! Beautiful, breath taking Halong Bay
Wow, wow, wow! That's about all for this blog folkes!!! No seriously I was gobsmacked by Halong Bay. We met at 8.15am and took a private bus for about 4 hours. We stopped halfway at a craft place for the disabled and ...
Long time no blog....from the mountains to the sea
No blogging from Sapa because the Internet connection was archaicly slow....and we didn't have wireless on the boat in Ha Long Bay...so here's a brief catch up from our $30 a night hotel that includes a computer in our room with internet connection in ...
Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island
3.5 hour bus ride to Halong City and then a smooth ferry ride to the ...
Hiking, Biking, Selling And Conning
... driver to wonder how his idiot tourist marks could have figured out his cunning plan. Our last 2 days in Vietnam have been spent in Halong Bay, on a junk sailing around even bigger and more dramatic karsts. Sadly, the predictions that the English style ...
Boat trip on Halong bay
... Hanoi. Luckily Ivo had brought as he was too lazy to pack a small bag so we all got to borrow his clothes for the duration. Halong bay is about a three hour drive from Hanoi and then our tour guide hired us a boat there and then. It was unreal the amount ...
Halong Bay
... So, I was really looking forward to seeing this designated 'World Heritage Site' along the coast of Northern Vietnam. And it didn't disappoint! Halong Bay is beautiful -- green-turquoise waters with huge limestone islands jutting out of the water at all ...
I'm Cruising
Hi, Have just returned from three restful days cruising around Halong Bay. This is a little oasis off the coast of Vietnam where there are several 100 small rock formation islands which are made of limestone (like Yangshao if anyone has ever been) ...
