Halong Bay (or the Bay of the Descending Dragon), one of the world's natural wonders, is located to the northeast of Vietnam about 4 hrs drive from Hanoi. Halong Bay covers an area of 1,553 square km, the bay contains 1,969 islands and is designated Unesco World Heritage site. The mainly limestone and karst formations are concentrated in two main areas: the southeastern part of Bai Tu Long Bay and southwestern part of Halong Bay. The area has spectacular views and world-famous caves as part of Halong Bay Natural Heritage, which includes Halong Bay and part of Bai Tu Long Bay.
It took me about 1 1/2 months of researching to find the best Junk cruise for my family Ha Long Bay cruise. I found out many unscrupulous junk operators using old junks, add extra cost and cheats. So, I was very careful and found out this operator - Indo China Junk - http://www.indochina-junk.com/
Their junks are new and there are so many good reviews from guests that I trusted by paying the down payment for this trip.
