Singapore - I was there with my family in December and we had good fun and memories. Unfortunately, on February 17 early morning, one of the many Tour boat plying Halong Bay sank and killed 12 people.

I read so much about Halong Bay and being a UNESCO site, I wanted to bring my family there. But when I researched over the Internet - there were so many companies plying their tours and which do I choose. Prices range from the low of US$75 to the high of US$300. But the best advice is to read the forums and my best was TripAdvisor.
The forumers gave lots of tips but you also have to do your own research, There were so many horror stories which you can spend hours crawling the tripadvior website or even the Internet.
But finally I decided on the Best Halong Bay Operator because,
- Their Junks are very new,
- Indo China Junks have exclusive routes (not croweded),
- Kayaking cost is included
- The kayak operators only served Indo China junks
- Transfer transport (to and fro Hanoi) is managed by Indochina Junk (some operators out source to 3rd party which they do not have control).
