Rowing Boats and Kayaking

Rowing traditional boats and kayaking are among the most exciting activities that visitors can experience when exploring Ha Long Bay. Thanks to its favorable natural terrain, kayaking has become an indispensable part of any Ha Long Bay tour.

Sitting on a small boat, paddling by hand across clear, emerald waters, and admiring towering limestone mountains at close range offers a completely different sensation compared to simply standing on a large cruise vessel.

Only small rowing boats and kayaks allow visitors to slip into hidden corners of the bay, get closer to ancient fishing villages, and truly experience the interaction between rock and water as they pass through sea-notched caves. These caves open into entirely new spaces—like isolated oases in the heart of the bay—that no other means of transport can reach.
