BHAYA Cruises - Sea kayaking - BBQ on Beach 3 days


Halong Bay is a spectacular natural wonder. The dramatic scenery dotted with islets makes this an excellent semi-sheltered, open water location for kayaking. This 3-day cruise is ideal for keen novice and experienced kayakers alike. Modern equipment gives you the necessary speed and maneuverability for both open sea crossings and to enter into hidden lagoons and caves. Sample the delights of this exhilarating sport in one of Vietnam’s most impressive natural sites, aboard the modern and luxurious Bhaya.
