Ha Long Bay

Vietnam

4.5 (0)
Overview

UNESCO World Heritage Site in Vietnam. It lies in northern Vietnam, best visited in autumn or spring.

Why visit: Thousands of limestone karsts rising straight out of jade water — the single image Vietnam is known by, and it earns it.

Things to do
  • ›Take an overnight cruise rather than a day trip — the bay empties in the evening
  • ›Kayak among the karsts instead of only watching them from the deck
  • ›Check the operator's safety record; standards vary sharply at the cheap end
  • ›Go early in the season for clear air, later for calm water
