Ha Long Sports & Outdoors Tips by Wild_Orchid Top 5 Page for this destination

Kayaking is the way to go!

Kayaking is a great way discover Ha Long Bay at your own pace with a friend, or on your own. It is also a good way to get some exercise after all that lazing around and eating & boozing on board your cruise ship.

No kayaking mate? No problem-I saw a woman from another boat who got one of the local boys from her boat to paddle with her. Now, that was travelling in style! LOL

Equipment: Most larger cruise boats have their own kayaks. Our tour included the use of 2 kayaks, and for any extra kayaks, the charge was US$25 per kayak (in Malaysian ringgits this was RM100, which we thought was rather expensive). Fortunately since only a few people on our group wanted to try out kayaking, my colleague, H, and I were able to monopolize one of the two kayaks for a few hours and enjoy the activity to our hearts' content.

Indeed, it was fun and I recommend it to everyone!

Directions: Arrange it with your boat captain.
