Tour Overview
One of Vietnam’s most photographed places, Halong Bay is a natural wonder located in northeast Vietnam. Emerald waters, towering limestone islands covered in lush rainforest and sandy shorelines attract many tourists to this magnificent bay. Offering you the opportunity for scuba diving, kayaking and cave exploring as you embark on an incredible 2-night cruise along the scenic Halong Bay on a Bhaya Cruise.
A holiday to Vietnam wouldn’t be complete without a cruise around the stunning Halong Bay, especially if you’re a first time traveller to Vietnam. Halong Bay has a 75 mile-long coastline with 2,000 islets that will simply take your breath away. One of the best ways to cruise Halong Bay is on a Bhaya Cruise, which homes between 15 and 20 en suite cabins, each with panoramic windows to take in the marvellous views as soon as your bags hit the floor. On board facilities include a lounge deck with dining room, bar, and massage area and library to relax in between sightseeing and excursions.
