Day 8 Lan Ha Bay

This morning we went to the office of Cat Ba Ventures to do a 2-Day-Tour. The tour started in the Lan Ha Bay which is a smaller bay next to Ha Long Bay. On a boat we were driven through a floating village where people are living on floating homes. Then the journey continued to the famous Ha Long Bay which is UNESCO World Cultural Heritage and voted as one of the new natural Wonders of the World. Over 2000 limestone rocks and islands are covering a huge bay. We were able to jump from our boat and swim around in the warm water. After lunch we entered kayaks to explore caves and hidden lagoons within the bay. Then we changed our boat to have dinner after another swim session. On the second boat we stayed overnight in the Lan Ha Bay with our group: 2 German couples, 2 Dutch girls, a Belgian girl and a French couple. The sunset happened in a quite impressive scenery and we had some beers on the deck with the group before we went to bed in our spacious cabin.Read more
