Ha Long Tours and Activities

The best way to appreciate the natural wonder of the spectacular Halong Bay is on a relaxing cruise through a positively relentless bay of islands. If you are one of those thrill-seekers looking for something more intense, try swimming here in the night in phosphorescent water!

The only way to really experience Halong Bay is to book one or two nights on board a Junk (Chinese Boat). Neighbouring Cat Ba island offers a more refreshing option, and is often preferred because of its tourist-free existence.

Plan a good tour or activity in Halong with the information about things to see & do that you will find in our Halong Bay Destination Guide. You can choose from one of our many local tours and activities below. Also check out our Halong Transport page to help you get around.

If your stay in Halong is longer, we have listed some local tour options below that may interest you. Regardless, if you don't know your way around Halong already, consider taking a short tour soon after you arrive. Just to get acquainted. Don't forget to take advantage of local knowledge. Ask your host and the hotel staff about what to see and how to see it. You may be surprised at what is available in and around Halong that hasn't made it into the tourist guides....yet!
