Halong Bay's towering limestone cliffs and teal waters are certainly a sight to behold. It has a magical feel... serene and inspiring as many of the 1600 islands have not yet been explored. We decided on a 2 day boat trip with one night sleeping aboard. A9 and G7 loved our cabin on the top deck and exploring all the nooks and crannies of the boat. We visited the suprising cave ......and it certainly was; surprisingly massive caverns as far as the eye can see, surprisingly great view from the top, suprising how many tourists you can fit through said cave at any one time, suprising how bad the public toilets on site can smell, and suprising how much serenity is broken by a massive generator powering all the lights in the cave. As kiwi's, we are so lucky to have our National Parks protected from mass tourism. Kayaking at sunset, night time squid fishing, karaoke, happy hour, spring roll cooking lesson, visiting a pearl farm and the amazing food on board, all made for a memorable few days in Halong Bay.
