Today’s travel photo is of some people kayaking amongst the limestone karsts of Halong Bay in Vietnam. Halong Bay is certainly one of the highlights of any trip to Vietnam, even if it does get a bit crowded with tourists. The crowds can’t take away the beauty of this spectacular place. Kayaking is usually included in most tours, and it was a lot of fun paddling through sea caves and exploring hidden lagoons that boats can’t get to.
Kayaking with my wife and son around Halong Bay has been one of my highlights and lowlights of our nomadic adventure both at the same time. It’s clearly a magical place to visit, but the truckloads of rubbish in the water around the floating villages was disgusting. They should take better care of such an amazing place.
Hi Chris. I agree with you there. It is a shame that a place as beautiful as Halong Bay is so polluted with rubbish. The nearby Han La Bay is a lot better…less people and much cleaner. Check it out if you ever go back. Cheers!
What a nice place, hope I can do some kayaking in Halong bay Vietnam.
Thanks for introducing so beautiful places really inspiring for future trips.
All the best!!

The Picture Look beautiful! indeed it’s true the crowd make it hard to see and appreciate the beauty of nature but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy in those places and neither nature faded in any way 🙂
