Halong Bay Vietnam Day Trip – Boat Cruise, Kayaking and Caves

Our first stop on the Southeast Asia adventure cruise aboard the Holland America Volendam is a stop at Ha Long Bay (Halong Bay, Vietnam).  This is our first Vietnamese port and after walking around the main street along the beach we board a junk boat for a day of cruising on the bay.

We pre-arranged a guide and private junk boat to visit island caves, a floating fishing village and see some of the 2,000 or so grottos and little islands that make up this UNESCO world heritage site. We also get to go Kayaking to explore some of the enclosed lakes.   Ha Long Bay is referred to as the Bay of Descending Dragons. Read more...
