With over 2,000 limestone islands and peaks set adrift in calm, emerald waters, Halong Bay is one of Vietnam’s most picturesque panoramas. Weaving your way through it on a traditional wooden junk boat is the only way to truly enjoy it – relax on the sundeck and take in the views and daily life for the people who make their living off the waters. The local legends say that the bay was gouged out of the land by dragons millennia ago - as you drift across the tranquil seas you would be forgiven for thinking yourself in another world, today Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a wealth of caves, grottoes and islands to explore.
