Shore Excursion: Spectacular Seascape of Limestone Pillars at Uninhabited Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site’s outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest.

Amazing boat tour! - The Viator sponsored tours have been a go-to tour company since we tried them for a previous holiday. This one did not disappoint. We were texted the day before by our guide Johnny who was everything all the other reviews said about him. He was prompt and spoke excellent English. The boat was big and had a crew that tended to our needs such as coffee and drinks. The washrooms were clean and full flush toilets. We did the 1/2 day tour which was just right amount of time given it was cloudy on our day. We visited an oyster farm, we did some kayaking in this lagoon while some jumped on a bamboo boat if they didn’t want the exercise or get wet. The last stop was the Dong Thien Cung Cave. It was an amazing cave and Johnny provided all the valuable information on all the various things in the cave.

Half day Ha Long Bay - A really enjoyable boat trip to Ha Long Bay visiting an oyster farm, kayaking through sea caves and a land walk through a cave which was excellent. As it was a half day cruise, no lunch which is what we expected. The guide Johnny, the boat crew were all absolutely brilliant! Highly recommend.

Perfect day in Hong Bay - This shore excursion exceeded my group’s expectations!!! We booked this because it was less than half price of the excursion offered by Celebrity. Though I had read the description of what was included in the trip, I was not prepared for how magnificent Halong Bay is. The day turned out to be beautiful and sunny so it was a perfect day. Our guide, Johnny was just terrific. His knowledge of the area was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the oyster farm, the caves by boat and on foot. It was so beautiful. The ships crew were friendly and welcoming as well. Thank you for a great half day!

Lovely morning cruising Halong Bay - We enjoyed our morning discovery cruise at Halong Bay. The highlight of this shore excursion was the trip in the rowboat. The local lady who rowed for us was very friendly and made sure that we enjoyed our expedition.

Sandra R from Vancouver - We climbed into the cave which was strenuous and exciting and our tour guide stopped and pointed out many interesting facts. The crew was very hospitable and provided a lunch with many Vietnamese selections. The Pearl factory and the ride underneath the cave was exciting as well.
