Bo Nau Grotto
Location: Bo
Nau Grotto or Pelican Grotto lies
far from 2-3km southeast of Trong
Mai Islet.
Characteristics:
This vaulted
grotto covers 200m2. The floor of
the grotto is wide and flat but not
deep and its wall features lots of
stalactites and stalagmites.

Bo Nau Grotto is one of the beauty
grottoes in Halong Bay. At the
entrance are three stones, looking
like three fairies with their heads
close to one another. Two men appear
to be playing chess, with the third
serving as a referee.
The name Bo Nau or Bo Nong is
associated with the fact that
pelicans often take shelter here. If
Dau Go Grotto lies completely inside
the island, Bo Nau opens its mouth
at the side of the island.
Stalactites fall down from the roof
of the grotto in different clusters.
Meanwhile stalagmites grow up in
different shapes and layers. Is this
that the life out there is so noisy
that the three fairies have to
choose this tranquil place to play
chess? Turning southward, Bo Nau
Grotto enjoys cool wind. Standing
there, one can hear the murmur of
the sea all year round. |
