HALONG BAY - DAY TOUR - PHOENIX CRUISE ****
One day trip on Phoenix Cruise will enable you to discover and enjoy the world-famous Halong Bay and through spectaculous areas of the Tonkin Golf. The cruising route will offer you an excellent opportunity to see beautiful high points, in and around the water of the World Heritage site, in a very chilling way. You will witness the tranquil beauty and breathtaking scenery from the sundeck of a comfortably traditional junk, from which you can enjoy the bay’s seascapes, the serene floating village as we slowly pass by.
