Magnificent Halong Bay, with more almost 2'000 islands rising from the clar, emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, is a Unesco World Heritage site and one of Vietnam's natural marvels. The vegetations-covered islands are dotted with innumerable grottos and caves created by the wind and the waves. Ha long means 'where the dragon descends into the sea'. To see the islands and grottos, a boat trip is mandatory. Most of the tours include transport, meals, accomodation and boat tours. I took the chance and made a booking for a three day tour. There are a lot tour operators and many different standards of boats. Some of them offer trips for three days for USD 55.- which I find rather difficult believe. Therefore I decided to go on a more exclusive one which was really worth it. Being on the boat I could also see the other boats with and their standard. So I was happy with mine. My package included kayaking which I did on the second day to the most fantastic, unique, untouched and quiet places where the big boats obviously cannot reach.
