Attractions and things to do - Boating in Halong Bay

Enjoy a family holiday at Halong Bay as you sail on a boat and explore its craggy limestone islands and grottos (small caves). Designated as a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, this bay has exquisite scenery. Situated in the north-east region of Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin, Halong Bay is made up of 1,969 islands of various sizes. Take a boat ride around the bay and spot islands in bizarre shapes.

You’ll see the Man’s Head Island, which resembles a man standing and facing the mainland and the Dragon Island that resembles a dragon hovering above the emerald water of the bay. Other islands resembling their namesakes are: the Sail, the Pair of Roosters, the La Vong and the Incense Burner. Also spot some wonderful grottos such as Thien Cung (Heavenly Residence Grotto), Dau Go (Driftwood Grotto), Sung Sot (Surprise grotto) and Tam Cung (Three Palace Grotto) among others.

Get an insight into the history of Vietnam as you visit the Van Don, an ancient commercial port, the Poem Mountain with stone engraved poems on erstwhile emperors, and the Bach Dang River, the location of two naval battles fought against foreign aggressors. The bizarre shaped islands on the Halong Bay resembling a standing man and a hovering dragon are not to be missed in this family holiday in Vietnam.
