It took Mother Nature 500 million years to craft Halong Bay…but visit this natural wonder in northern Vietnam and you'll see it was worth the wait. This idyllic bay, 150 kilometres from frenetic Hanoi, is dotted with 775 limestone islands rising sharply from the deep green sea. So hop aboard a boat and set sail with your local guide for a private Halong Bay tour you'll never forget.

The name Ha Long means 'descending dragon.' As the legend goes, a dragon saved the area's inhabitants from seafaring invaders, spitting out jewels that morphed into islands, blocking the passage of enemy ships. As your captain skillfully threads the vessel between the towering rocks, your guide can point out oyster farms and fishing barges moored in secret coves.

Enter a world of stalactites and stalagmites inside Thien Cung and Dau Go caves, then meet the children of Vong Vieng who attend a floating school. Whatever your time frame, our guides can tailor a trip to fit your schedule.
