I visited Ha Long Bay on a day trip from Hanoi in July 2004.
It was very cloudy on the day I visited but the resulting
mist made the islands in the distance very enchanting and I
was able to take quite a few good shots from the boat I was
on. Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam's premier destinations and
as a son of Vietnamese immigrants, I am very proud of this
world heritage site. |

We did a trip 2 week ago, this is one of the most beautiful
on earth, our private overnight boat trip was fantastic with
sunset and sunrise, caves visit, long cruise showed us some
of hundreds very spectarcular islands and islets juting up
from clear water. We recomended for whole travellers comming
to Vietnam.
We booked this trip through internet and we went with:

We were in Vietnam in December, 2005. We did an overnight
junk trip on Ha Long Bay and were thoroughly enchanted.
Stunning scenery, and really quite a special place
especially cruising through in the morning mist. We did not
see any of the pollution that others have written about. We
really felt like we were far from land-based civilization
while we were out on the water. |

I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam which included 2 days on
a traditional Vietnamese junk boat in Halong Bay. The site itself is
breath-taking, but unfortunately, there is little respect for nature
shown by those operating the tour boats. I repeatedly saw boat
operators throw their garbage overboard into the waters. These are
the people who survive on tourism and ought to care more about
protecting the very site which is bring the tourists to them in
bus-loads. It was sad to see this and I hope the government forces
people to clean up their act.

i went to Halong bay in 2002 it was fabulous! it is just amazing
lazing on the roof of a boat and sunbake while looking at such
FANTASTIC scenery. i have to admit that there was pollution in teh
air but i found non in teh water where i was swimming.. the water
was clear crystal blue and just the right temperature for an aussie
girl liek myself!
