Your Perfect Halong Bay Cruise, Designed Just for You
Why Halong Bay?
Dark & Bright Cave
Dark & Bright Cave lies between Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and calm emerald waters. This area includes two distinct sections: the “Dark Cave,” a narrow, shadowy waterway accessible only by bamboo boat, and the “Bright Cave,” an open, sunlit arch leading into a tranquil hidden lagoon. With no waves and gentle currents, it is one of the safest and most picturesque kayaking spots in the region.
Highlights:
- Peaceful enclosed lagoon surrounded by limestone mountains
- Narrow cave archways and dramatic rock formations
- Local rowers offering traditional bamboo boat rides
Best Experiences: Kayaking, bamboo boat tours, photography, slow cruising through the limestone passages.
What to Prepare: Lightweight clothing, sandals, waterproof bags for phones and cameras, drinking water.
