There are many places in Halong where you can rent Kayaks (at tourist boat docks, on various islands), with rental prices ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 VND per hour depending on the type of Kayak (single, double, or triple seat).

2. Explore the Coastal Fishing Villages

Escape the glittering lights and extravagance of city centers, leave behind the hustle and bustle of urban life. The coastal fishing villages in Halong are peaceful, pristine, offering a fascinating destination for travelers. Places for this experiential activity could be the Van Chai Cooperative in Vung Vieng village, Cua Van village, Ba Hang village... You can rent a bamboo boat right at the Halong tourist pier.

3. Spend a Night on a Cruise Ship

Tourist boats on the bay resemble mini hotels, complete with clean bedding, air conditioning, and private bathrooms. It's fascinating when you can relax right in your own cabin, and when you open the window, you'll see majestic mountains, vast waters, maybe some fish or jellyfish swimming below the window of your cabin. At night, tourists can go up to the ship's deck to admire the stars, the nighttime sea views.

4. Discover the Beauty of Halong Bay from a Seaplane

Hai Au Aviation has officially launched seaplane sightseeing tours of Halong Bay since September 9, 2014. The fleet includes two Cessna Grand Caravan EX seaplanes, with spacious windows, allowing passengers to easily enjoy the panoramic views and capture beautiful moments from various aerial perspectives. As a result, tourists will have the opportunity to experience the journey from Hanoi to Halong as well as fly to admire the scenery over the bay at altitudes ranging from 500 to 3000 meters above sea level.

The most famous specialty in Halong's list of delicacies is undoubtedly squid sausage, made from fresh, pure squid. What distinguishes the distinctive flavor of Halong squid sausage lies in the hand-mashing technique, rather than machine grinding as in many other places.

Thanks to this, Halong squid sausage has a natural crispiness and rich flavor.
