Situated between Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay, Halong Bay forms the center of The Halong UNESSCO world heritage site. Opposite to the more peaceful carm of its two sisters, Halong is often refered to as the " Colorful bustling beauty" due to the tourism industry quickly developing in the area. The bay, therefore, offers tourists with a wide variety of tourism facilaties including grand cruise ships, 5star hotels, high-end restaurants and so on. But that doesn't necessary mean Halong has lost its grateful charm. The beauty of Halong is preserved in thousands of uninhabited islands such as Titov and Bo Hon or grand caves such as Surprise cave or Luon cave. Also, contrast to the luxury of glamorous ships and hotels, small fishing villages full of life can still be found at bigger islands scattered around the bay.
Go on a cruise ship and enjoy the panoramic beauty of the bay. You will never regret about it. Also, don't forget to take part in aquatic sports often offered by the cruise tour insluding kayak trips to islands and caves or volleyball matches on the beach. Life of the locals on floating houses in fishing villages is worth you a try, too.
Halong Bay is vast and picturesque. The highlight was Dong Thien Cung. The size and formations within the cave were dramatic. Luckily most ot the bus ride from Hanoi is on a freeway, but even with that the bus ride took 2.5 - 3.0 hours one way

helpful go-to company. Booking through A21 was super convenient and easy- they were also very responsive at communication with us so we felt confident in our plans. We also found ourselves needing transportation last minute after arriving in Vietnam- being able to hop on WiFi and contact them through WhatsApp was easy and they were able to arrange something for our needs.

Awesome Service. They are fast in responding with enquiries/updates via Whatsapp. Mike from A21 Tours make sure everything goes smoothly by updating me on the status of the arrangements. We took a Wonderbay Day cruise in Halong Bay via A21 Tours. We stayed a night in Halong bay thus did not take the transport back to Hanoi provided by Wonderbay. A21 Tours provided the return trip to Hanoi using Luxury bus with NO additional charges. We also took their airport transfer to/from Hanoi by A21 Tours. Everything went as beautifully planned and scheduled. This is our first trip to Hanoi/ Halong Bay, A21 Tours makes our trip a breeze. Effortless and enjoyable. Totally satisfying and contented. Will strongly recommend A21 Tours.
