Magnificent & Stunning Halong Bay

One can book a 2 days 1 night trip to Halong Bay from Hanoi for as little as USD29 per person. Bus journey from Hanoi to Halong City (Hon Gai) takes 3 1/2 hours, passing Haiphong along the way. Once we reached the port at about 12pm, we were taken on board the boat and start cruising along Halong Bay. Lunch was taken on board the boat.

At 3pm, we were guided to visit one of the caves in Halong Bay. In this case, the Amazing Cave. Halong Bay is famous not only for its magnificent view and scenery, but also for its geological value of the numerous caves around the area.

After visiting the cave, one could opt to kayak around the blue and tranquil water of Halong Bay.

We stayed the night off the shore near the southern tip of Cat Ba Island after dinner and head back to Halong City the next morning.
