Ha
Long Bay is easily Vietnam’s top tourist destination and brings in thousands of
tourists daily during the peak season. There
are many cruise companies that offer 2 day/1 night or 3 day/2 night cruises
through the bay and this is by far the most popular way to tour this area. Known for its beauty, Ha Long Bay is
scattered with thousands of forest-topped, karst limestone islands that reach out
of its blue waters into the heavens. Its
ethereal beauty is something you would only expect to see on a movie screen and
it in fact has been featured in a small handful of movies; namely the recent King
Kong: Skull Island. It has also been
recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding geological and
geomorphological value, as well as its aesthetic value.
Cat Ba Island
Cat Ba
is a beautiful island set of the coast of Vietnam in the heart of Ha Long Bay. Many tourists only get to see a small piece
of this island when they come ashore as part of their Ha Long Bay cruise, but
there is so much more to be had here.
For those independent travelers, Cat Ba is a great place to get away
from the normal tourist grind and spend a day or two, or more, to enjoy the
amazing views, history, and natural reserves Cat Ba Island has to offer.
