Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Why Walk Ha Long Bay

Ha Long Bay's otherworldly landscape of towering limestone pillars draped in jungle vegetation has captivated travelers for centuries. While most exploration is by boat, the bay offers remarkable walking experiences. Cat Ba Island, the largest in the bay, has hiking trails through the national park to Hospital Cave and cannon fort viewpoints. Ti Top Island has a steep stairway climb to a panoramic viewpoint over the bay. Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave is one of the largest grottos in Ha Long Bay, with illuminated stalactite chambers reached by stone stairways. The floating fishing villages, where communities live entirely on the water in houses anchored to the karst islands, can be explored by kayak and short walks on wooden platforms. Bai Tu Long Bay to the northeast offers a less-visited alternative with similar scenery and more authentic floating villages. The town of Ha Long on the mainland has developed rapidly with a cable car to the Sun World amusement park.
