Ha
Long Bay, located in the Gulf of Tonkin, covers an area of
1500 square km. with more than a thousand limestone peaks
soaring from its crystalline emerald water. The calm sea
provides an ideal location for sea kayaking as we paddle
through a maze of islets amid dramatic natural scenery. With
our modern kayaking equipment, we are able to maximize on
speed and maneuverability as we paddle through the open sea
and explore the many hidden lagoons and stalagmite caves that
are difficult to access by any other means. After a day of
paddling, we unwind on a deserted beach on one of Halong's
many islands and enjoy dinner before retiring to sleep under a
blanket of stars. This tour is ideal for those people who have
very limited time in their schedule. Combining the best of sea
kayaking and camping it allows the novice and the experienced
kayakers to sample the delights of this sport in some of
Vietnam's most stunning scenery. Our
equipment includes modern Zebec Kayaks, which are lightweight,
stable and safe with lightweight aluminium paddles. All
passengers and guides are supplied with modern, international
standard buoyancy vests. We also use lightweight tents, all of
which are fitted with mosquito screens. In
keeping with our philosophies on safety, our guides have been
trained in basic first aid and CPR by an international medical
clinic.
