Experience The Real Vietnam
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.
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. On the peaceful turquoise water of the World Heritage, it’s easy for you to try your hands to lead the small kayak through a number of limestone mountains rising from the sea even it’s your first-time kayaking. For those who are used to kayaking, Halong Bay is a very special destination to experience your passion with the kayaks. You will have a great time to race with your travel companion to explore hidden grottos, discover a tranquil lagoon after a cave. The kayaks offered in Halong Bay are medium-sized double kayaks, which are safe and appropriate for all guests
