Bai Tu Long Bay: The Quiet Side of Halong

Bai Tu Long is the bay northeast of Halong. The landscape is the same, hundreds of limestone islands in green water, but far fewer boats come here. The fishing villages are still working villages.

Was Sie tun können

• Sleep on a boat Most trips are one or two nights on board, sailing between the islands.
• Kayak in the lagoons Quiet water, and often nobody else around.
• Visit Vung Vieng village A floating fishing village where people still live and work.
• Swim off the boat Clean water, and you will usually have it to yourself.

Gut zu wissen

• Fewer operators sail here, so book ahead.
• Storm season is July to September. Trips get cancelled.
• The route is regulated, so boats follow set paths.
