Information about Huong Hai Cruise Halong Bay |
|
Halong Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1, 600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. The thousands of limestone peaks create a natural wind barrier to the waters of the South China Sea and a karsts wonderland that was a favorite hiding place for pirates. These calm waters are wonderfully suited for kayaking and the limestone formations are a fantasy land of exploration. Now imagine kayaking it's calm, emerald waters through caves into hidden lakes and white-sand beach coves-your small kayak gliding smoothly beneath the towering limestone peaks.
Highlight: Boating, cave visiting, and kayaking
