After a fairly nice bus trip from Vientiane we arrived in about 4 hours in Vang Vieng. Next we were whisked off for kayaking, however we misplaced one thing within the communication of this and weren't prepared for it at all as we have been wearing jeans and heavy coats, as were a number of others on the tour with us. Whereas the other half kayaked across the bay we frolicked at a fishing village and had a beer.<img class='alignleft' style='float:left;margin-right:10px;' src='http://file.alotrip.com/photo/halong-bay/cruises/life-heritage-resort-ha-long-bay-cruises/small/life-heritage-resort-halong-bay-cruises-857.jpeg' width='251' />

<br/>The construction of the panorama was reminiscent of Halong Bay albeit without the entire ocean factor occurring. Later within the afternoon we took a stroll in the different path and checked with several places to get prices for Halong Bay journeys. We had been very conscious from most reviews that ‘you get what you pay for' with these trips. The tour also picked us up direct from Hanoi which meant we needn't spend the night time in Halong Metropolis which is not bathed in rave reviews. The following day we headed off on our tour to Halong Bay, some two and a half hours out of Hanoi.

<br/>We hadn't really performed too many official tours since we had been away and found the working commentary provided by the guide as we made our technique to Halong City quite attention-grabbing. We arrived in Halong Metropolis <a href="http://www.vktour.com/page1/page8/page8.html">Halong bay tour</a> to a gray and overcast day, and headed for the port where we had been to board our boat. Looking out into the bay you'll be able to see the stunning Karst formations that Halong Bay is known for and lots of of Junks in between on glassy waters.

<br/>We began with lunch and made our method into the bay at a pace that was so slow it took Kara a very long time to determine we had even moved. Everybody had a chance to settle in on the boat before we headed off on the smaller boat to climb Ti Prime island, check out Sung Sot Cave, the biggest cave in Halong Bay, and Kayaking, for some. I guess Halong though is a correct tourist, cash spinning enterprise, so ease of access - and safety is paramount. We chatted happily with others on our cruise and as night settled in Kara and a couple of others took up the option of squid fishing whereas I checked out the barman's cocktail abilities at blissful hour.
