Introduction:
Halong Bay is perhaps the most spectacular of Vietnam's natural wonders. The tranquil, green waters of the bay are dotted with limestone cliffs that erupt out of the water from the ocean floor.
The ancient Vietnamese believed that Halong Bay was where a giant dragon "descended into the sea", because the rocky outcrops resemble the humps and scales of a dragon's back. The stunning natural beauty and unusual geology of the bay led UNESCO to designate Halong Bay a World Heritage site.
Many of the nearly 2,000 forested islands in the bay have hidden coves and grottos which are easily explored by boat or by kayak. Some of the island caves are filled with a colourful variety of stalagmites and stalactites.
A full exploration of Halong Bay takes 2 to 3 days, though a 1-day journey provides enough time to glimpse the rugged islands. Halong Bay is 3-4 hours by car, or 2 hours by train, from Hanoi.

While all those who visit Halong Bay are charmed by the archipelago’s beauty, few visitors are aware that the three-thousand islands that dot this bay are home to many rare plants, including species found nowhere else in the world. We chose our boat’s name - Halong Ginger - because, like the plant it was named after, our junk is perfectly suited to this environment. With its golden sails, polished woodwork and refined, Asian décor, the Halong Ginger offers an unforgettable ambiance of relaxed elegance. Join us, and see Halong Bay in style.
Officially open on 18 December 2007, our newest four star junk will set the standard for services and amenities on the bay. Fitted out in the 1930's Indochina style, the Halong Jasmine will feature 22 spacious cabin, restaurant, lounge and two special Jasmine Suites with their own Jacuzzi & balcony for uninterrupted views of the bay
