About this tour
Don't worry because you will be accompanied by a Japanese guide!
Lan Ha Bay and Ha Long Bay are adjacent in the northeast corner of Vietnam and are considered two parts of the same place, but there is an invisible line around the water flow and limestone that separates the two adjacent bays, dividing the almost identical seascape into two regions (Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh province and Lan Ha Bay in Hai Phong province). Ha Long Bay to the north is full of tourist boats, but Lan Ha Bay to the south is very quiet and offers untouched nature.
At the 45th World Heritage Committee held in September 2023, "Ha Long Bay" was expanded to become "Ha Long Bay = Cat Ba Archipelago" and Lan Ha Bay was also recognized as a World Heritage Site. Ambassador Signature cruises Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay.
