Day 9-Hanoi/Ha Long

This day, we visited Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, then continued to Halong Bay to spend the night on a traditional junk boat surrounded by turquoise waters, where thousands of sculpted limestone islands rise from the calm waters. We cruised through Bai Tu Long Bay, a more secluded section of this stunning World Heritage site, and then continued to cruise around the bay and explore the Me Cung cave with our local guide.

Halong Bay Overnight Junk boat Cruise 
Cruising through stunning and secluded Bai Tu Long Bay, a less visited section of Ha Long Bay. Relax on board our comfortable traditional wooden junk boat, we enjoyed our time afloat eating fresh seafood and admiring the magnificent karst formations and exploring Me Cung Cave. The peaceful night was spent anchored in the bay under the stars. 

Kayaking
We had the chance to transfer from boat to kayak in this guided water tour, giving you the chance to get even closer to the stunning natural surroundings.
