Halong Bay Cruise One Day Tours
Description
Halong Bay is located in the north east of Hanoi, about 3.5 hours from the capital city. Convenient transportation and modern road infrastructure make it easier to reach the Bay. The Bay is constituted by thousands of grottos and islets, which are well connected by emerald body of water and 120km of coastline. The specific area considered UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site alone is cornered by Cong Tay island to the east. Dau Go island to the west and Ba ham lake to the south. Most cruise trips will take you for a ride within this complex, visiting the most important sights such as Surprise Cave, Titop Island, BaiTu Long Bay and several floating villages. The most common way to reach Halong Bay is by road, with Hanoi being the most popular starting point. Currently there is no tourist train line connecting Halong Bay with Hanoi as yet. One can also choose to book the helicopter service, which will reach the Bay in less than 2 hours.

Very nice views. The weather was sullen, the only negative. Fine dining with outstanding service.
Very nice family trip in this beautiful country. Three weeks traveling from North to South Vietnam, everything was perfect with pleasant and magical moments. Horizon Vietnam is well worth the 5 stars. Present from the beginning to the end, she was in our care. We recommend this agency and we will go back with them. For the choice of hotels restaurants and visits, nothing was forgotten, it was perfect. Not to mention their welcome on the day of arrival, bravo, bravo.
