Major Classic Destinatinons : Halong - VietNam

Ha Long Bay is a magical place where the nature has outdone itself. The bay is nestled in the Gulf of Tonkin and includes some 1,600 islands and islets rising abruptly from emerald ocean, creating a spectacular seascape. Some middle islets are also home to small pristine beaches with calm water during spring and early summer.

The magnificent towering limestone outcrops of Halong come in different shapes and sizes, some resembling animals and some like human bodies. Local people have woven interesting legends about these rocks, arches and caves sculpted by nature. The scenery even becomes more mystical at dusk or in a foggy morning. Take a cruise in Halong to savour a starry sky over this splendid setting and enjoy surprisingly pleasant sleep, cuisine and relaxation on board.

Lunch at Yen Duc Village

 WHY YEN DUC VILLAGE?

We have received a lot of complaints for Halong Bay tour from our customers for a long time:    

  •    The brunch on board between 10a.m to 11 a.m before returning the harbor is too early.
  •    The restaurants near the harbor are too touristy and don’t meet their requirements for quality service.
  •    The road distance from Ha Long to Hanoi is too far and they need a good place to stop for relax and lunch.

Asia Aventura has taken their effort to find out a good solution for all these problems. Our Product Manager, Mr. Nguyen Minh Thang spent many weeks wandering through rural villages from Quang Ninh to Hanoi and finally set foot in Yen Duc Village - a typical model agricultural village in the North of Vietnam.
