With more than a thousand limestone peaks rising up from its crystalline emerald waters, this area is one of the world natural wonders, and it was recognised as World Heritage site in 1994. The tiny islands are dotted with secluded beaches providing an excellent setting for swimming or just lazing about on the boat deck. This trip also includes an exploration of Cat Ba Island. |
