Discover Halong Bay: UNESCO karst seascape with cruises, caves, kayaking and floating villages. Plan the best time to visit and practical tips.
Travel guide

Halong Bay is Vietnam’s iconic UNESCO-listed seascape of limestone karsts, emerald waters and floating fishing villages. Best experienced on an overnight cruise, with kayaking, cave visits and island beaches.
Halong (commonly known as Ha Long Bay ) is one of Vietnam’s most famous coastal landscapes: thousands of limestone karsts and islets rising from emerald waters, dotted with caves and floating villages. The bay is best explored slowly — by day trip or, for a fuller experience, on an overnight cruise.
