Halong Bay Cruise With Oriental Sails Scorpio

Halong Bay never fails to amaze visitors by its labyrinth of limestone islands dotting the shimmering Gulf of Tonkin. These same islands witnessed years of history: from flourishing human settlements in 16000 BC, to the sea-faring people of Cai Beo culture in 3000 BC and a number of naval battles that defined the nation's history.

The area plays hosts to a diverse ecosystem with abundant wildlife, including 7 species endemic to the area. Explore the caves, experience its flora and fauna on a kayak, laze on one of its fine sand beaches, tour hạ long and a whole lot of activities to make your visit a truly memorable one.

Ha Long Bay is located in the northeastern part of Vietnam and constitutes part of the western bank of Bac Bo Gulf, including the sea area of Ha Long City and Cam Pha Town and part of Van Don island district.

It abuts Cat Ba Island kynghidongduong.vn in the southwest. Toward the west is the shore with a 120 km-long coastline. It is located within 106o58'-107o22' east longitude and within 20045'- 20050' north latitude. The site is 1553 sq. km with 1969 islands of various sizes, of which 989 have been named.

The islands in HaLong Bay are mainly limestone and schist islands most lying in the two main areas: the southeastern part of Bai Tử Long Bay and southwestern part of HaLong Bay.

These islands represent the most ancient images of a geographical site having a tectonic age of from 250 million to 280 million years. They are the result of many times of rising and lowering processes of the continent to form a karst. The process of nearly full erosion and weathering of the karst created the unique Hạ Long Bay in the world.

In a not very large area, thousands of islands with different forms look like glittering emeralds attached to the blue scarf of a virgin. The area where many stone islands concentrate has spectacular scenes and world-famous caves and is the center of Ha Long Bay Natural Heritage, including HaLong Bay and a part of Bai Tu Long Bay.
