Ha Long

Located 170 km away from Hanoi, There is magic in Ha Long Bay, top new 7 wonders of nature, one of the most beautiful places on earth. Ha Long Bay covers an area of over 1,500 km, dotted with thousands of rocky islands, most of them made of limestone. If you sit quietly in the evening, just as the sun has set and the pinks and baby-blues silhouette the shapes of the towering limestone features, you can feel it. There is no better way to experience it than to be aboard one of Footprint’s selected cruises. The food is magnificent and the sites and activities will leave you with lasting memories.

Local fishermen have given many of them expressive names according to their shapes including: Cone-shape Cookie, Banana, Small Fish, Tortoise, Nail, Wading Ox, and Wallowing Buffalo. The islands are riddled with caves and grottoes offering spectacular stalactite displays. Bo Nau cave, Dau Go grotto and Trinh Nu grotto are especially worth seeing.

Bai Tu Long Bay, located directly beside the world renowned Ha Long Bay, has quickly become known as an area less frequented by tourists. Although several operators do now operate in the area, the number of boats is dramatically less. The bay features are very similar to that of Ha Long. Karst limestone features dot the ocean area with tiny islands and small islets. The area is also rich in biodiversity.

A number of (floating) fishing villages inhabit the waters.
