Halong Bay

Halong Bay Shore Excursions

Discover Halong Bay, one of the most spectacular natural wonders in all of Asia, on a private shore excursion with Bakadi Dreams. This UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Vietnam is famous for its breathtaking seascape of over 1,600 towering limestone karsts and islands rising from emerald-green waters – a landscape so extraordinary it has to be seen to be believed.

⛵ Cruising Through a Natural Masterpiece

A boat cruise through Halong Bay is the quintessential Vietnam experience. Glide past dramatic rock formations, explore hidden caves and grottoes carved by millions of years of erosion, and watch traditional fishing boats drift across the still waters. The bay’s ever-changing light – from misty mornings to golden sunsets – creates a magical atmosphere that makes every moment on the water unforgettable.

🚢 The Ultimate: A 2-Day Premium Cruise

For those who want to go deeper, our exclusive 2-day cruise through Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay aboard the luxurious The Au Co (Bhaya Cruises) is the ultimate way to experience this wonder. Sail far beyond the day-trip routes into the pristine waters of Lan Ha Bay, kayak through limestone caves, visit floating fishing villages and wake up to a sunrise over the karsts. With gourmet meals, sunset cocktails on the sundeck and a night on the water, this is Halong Bay at its very best.

🍜 Hanoi – Vietnam’s Captivating Capital

The Halong Bay cruise port is also your gateway to Hanoi, Vietnam’s fascinating capital. Our Hanoi Old Quarter and street food tour takes you through the atmospheric 36 Streets, where centuries-old trades, bustling markets and colonial architecture meet the energy of modern Vietnam. Sample steaming phở, crispy bánh mì and sweet Vietnamese coffee at the best local stalls – a feast for all the senses.
