OVERVIEW

Kayaking in Halong Bay is the best way to explore the breathtaking beauty of Halong Bay. Paddle through islets; visit hidden caves, lagoons, unspoiled beaches, and floating fishing villages…Kayaks go where other big boats cannot. Depending on trip length, visitors have different kayak route and time frame. Cruise with Indochina Junk, paddling around the islands, get closer to limestone karst, and enjoy the breathtaking nature in a less-visited corner of Bai Tu Long Bay must be a great experience for life.

HIGHLIGHTS

Kayaking is one of the must-try activities that attract tourists when they come to Halong Bay. This active outdoor activity allows visitors to enjoy the magnificence of Halong Bay from a different perspective – closer to the water surface than from a big cruise ship.
