Take a two-day group tour that leaves from Hanoi to see Halong Bay. Many meals, transportation, lodging, and other arrangements are handled for you, leaving you free to spend your time exploring the bay. Try a cooking class, a bamboo boat ride, kayaking, or any other activity that your crew and guide are planning. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay is well-known for its breathtaking limestone karsts that rise sharply out of the emerald seas. The utter awe of the scenery will overtake your senses as you travel along this marvel of nature. It's difficult to get the same level of peace anyplace else as the boat's soft sway and the sea breeze through your hair.
