A few final words from Halong Bay
We are undecided on this place its a terrible mixture of the good and bad. The bay and islands are lovely. But there are 3,000 trip boats here so the trip boat terminal is chaotic and has a unique air quality, surely found only here - yes only here ...
Enter The Dragon!
Formed by an angry dragon which flew around this once singular land mass, smashing it to peices with its tail and wings, Halong Bay is just incredibly beautiful & serene. Some people have claimed the story is a legend or an old wives tail, ...
Halong Bay Tour - Day One

Ethereal Halong Bay

Halong Bay Day 186 (22nd Nov)

Cruising through the karsts of Ha Long Bay
... I had never heard anything about it before. Ha Long Bay is a collection of thousands of towering limestone islands off the north Vietnam coast, and looks like nothing I've ever seen. Unfortunately we had read that lots of the tours were a bit rubbish so ...
Halong Bay
Na een nacht van .........? We worden om 7:15 wakker na een lange nacht met regen,donder en bliksem en het getrippel van ratten in het vooronder. We zijn al snel uit de veren, want als we bedenken hoe goed de lunch en het diner ons gister smaakte,zou ...
Breathtaking

The Gringo Trail
... to the south, not expecting one of the worst bus rides on my trip. For starters, this is the way buses in Vietnam work: There's a driver usually driving like a bat out of hell for no reason and another guy collecting money, negotiating ticket prices ...
Super Mario Pringles
... we'd be doing things. On the first day (after our captain finally turns up) we set off to visit Thien Cung Cave. Seeing the bay on the way is absolutely incredible, although it is cold, it is amazing to see it in the eerie mist with amazing karsts ...

Ha Long Bay
... . We arrived in Hanoi and I had lost my purse and my cards. It was a bad way to end the day. We also only had one hour rest and then we got on our 14 hour, 550km bus journey to Hue in Vietnam, south of Hanoi. Lovely lovely lovely Halong Bay.xxxxxxxxxx ...
Jellyfish vs crab deathmatch
Halong bay, nice boat trip, we splashed out and went luxury on the boat, which was well worth it. Pretty much the same scenery as Mai Chau except the limestone cliffs come out of the water and not the fields. Nice swimming off the side, ...
Halong Bay
... Myself boarded a 3 hour mini bus to Halong City. From Halong City we boarded a cruse ship to take us out into the famous Halong Bay. From the attached scenery, you can see that it is truly spectacular. So far this is one of my favorite destinations on ...
Quan Lan
... ) and so don't immediately register the faux-Colonial facades and juxtapositions until she points them out to me. It is obvious that Halong City was once a beautiful place. Now it is gaudy, a jumble. We ask ourselves the same question we always ask: why ...
A boat with rats (and that's not the boys!!)
... European city. At this stop, we managed to see more westerners in one spot than we had passed on our whole travels in Vietnam. Yes, I guess Halong Bay is a tourist spot. At the docks, it is mass chaos. As soon as you get out of a bus, other people ...

Halong Bay
... ; The islands and rock formations are gorgeous, but it was a bit disconcerting to see our own boat dumping waste into the bay as we were headed back to port. We definitely recommend coming here if you get the opportunity, as this ...
Caving and sleeping in Ha Long Bay
... and once again, I was impressed with the safety for the kids (they had their lifejackets on - so cute!). We stormed out into Halong Bay, enjoying the beautiful day and smooth waters. We visited a cave near Cat Ba to start off with, and saw some ...
Cruise in Halong Bay
We flew out of Hue the next days into Ha Noi, from where we had to catch a ride to Halong Bay somehow. After checking with the airport they offered a shuttle to go there for a few hundred US dollars, a price that seemed horrendous. And so started our next ...
How long Halong
