Ha Long Bay Tours | Custom Vietnam Itineraries

Dreams of Vietnam travel often conjure images of Ha Long Bay. The UNESCO World Heritage site is painted in rich greens and blues: emerald waters, lush limestone islands, and its iconic karst formations rising from tranquil bays.

The best way to visit Ha Long Bay is by overnight boat, and you can explore the area from the comfort of a private charter junk, a traditional and romantic option, or board the luxurious Elite of the Seas, which offers stunning suites, a pool and spa, and private yacht excursions. You’ll also explore bays to the north and south of the main bay for a quieter, more secluded experience.

Why visit Ha Long Bay?

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ha Long Bay's misty, sculpted landscape feels almost surreal, with over 1,600 limestone karsts and islets rising dramatically from the emerald-green waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.

Our favorite way to experience Ha Long Bay is aboard a traditional junk boat. Spend your days kayaking, swimming, eating fresh seafood, and watching the sun rise over the bay from the deck.
