Description I read to choose this tour - Junk Cruise On Ha Long Bay (HLB-002)
Port: Hanoi (Ha Long Bay) 9:30-1:00 Tour Length: Half-Day (Approximately 3 1/2 hours or 4.5 hrs) Tour
Tour Description
- • Cruise on a Chinese junk into Ha Long Bay, an incredibly scenic World Heritage site.
- • Relax on deck while reveling in the natural setting.
- • Get a chance to climb up the Thien Cung Cave.
Witness the breathtaking scenery from the decks of a wooden junk. Gliding through the gin-clear waters of the bay, absorb one of the most magnificent natural splendors of the Far East.
Arriving to the junk pier in Ha Long city, begin your fascinating cruise through Ha Long Bay, one of the world's outstanding natural wonders, resembling a geographic work of art with thousands of limestone islets soaring dramatically from the clear emerald waters. This densely concentrated zone of kharst islands, world famous for its spectacular scenery of grottoes and caves, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. See tiny islands dotted with rock arches, sheer cliffs, innumerable white sand beaches and peaceful coves. Like sculpted cartoon characters, these limestone islands have fanciful names: Heavenly Gate, Tortoise Rock, Man Head Rock, The Isle of Wonders, Tea Pot Rock and Devil's Face.
A stop is made at impressive Thien Cung Cave, with a chance to climb up. Continue to enjoy this relaxing cruise through the stunning landscape.
HELPFUL HINTS • Dress in weather-appropriate clothing. Wear flat comfortable walking shoes.
PLEASE NOTE Guests who wish to enter the Thien Cung Cave must negotiate approximately 100 steep steps up and down.
This description was quite accurate but we did not sail in a wooden junk. We sailed in a standard tour boat. The cave we visited was pretty cool.
