Imagine thousands of ragged islands that jut majestically from the ocean, creating a fairy tale landscape of hidden lagoons, caves, grottoes and secluded beaches. Crowned one of the new Seven Natural Wonders of the world, Halong Bay is home to Vietnam’s most dramatic scenery. For a really close look at the rock formations, spend a day navigating this picturesque panorama on a cruise or a private boat, explore the bay on your terms by visiting quieter, far less touristy areas.
As you are drifting through the iconic scenery into the golden hour, leave the world behind and let the tropical wind navigate you through a dreamy seascape. Sculptured into fantastic shapes and suspended in time and space, the limestone pinnacles can magically be changed by the angles of light, directions of view, especially when silhouetted against the sun. This is the moment you don’t want to miss, the beautiful memories of sunset over Halong Bay, tie-dyed into a gradient of pink and burnt orange, will be imprinted in your mind for a lifetime.
