Halong Bay Cruise 2 days
A great way to see spectacular Ha long Bay is on a relaxing cruise through a never ending Bay of islands. This is a wonderful & more intense look at the islands “off the beaten track” with a more leisurely pace & amazing night swimming in the phosphorescent water. Staying on board, a boat watching the sunrise & sunset over the islands is magical. In addition, we will get our way to the fabulous peak offering great islands’ view of Ha Long. Great value for money – comfortable, friendly, not rushed.
