When visiting Vietnam, tourists are constantly treated to the country’s best and iconic sights and smells; this gives each traveller a unique experience to take back home. Kayaking in Lan Ha Bay in Hai Phong is one such experience that is naturally designed to leave the traveller in complete awe at the beautiful surroundings of Vietnam. Lan Ha Bay is known to be one of most beautiful places in Vietnam especially for kayakers as the bay comprises of over 2000 limestone karsts, approximately 400 small secluded islands, dozens of mysterious sea caves and a flourishing marine life beneath its blue waters. Accommodation in Haiphong is plentiful as many locals have built luxury and boutique hotels to accommodate the large number of tourists visiting each year. Apart from hotels, one also has the option of staying at service apartments such as Somerset Central TD Hai Phong City.
Lan Ha Bay is located south of Ha Long Bay which belongs to the Cat Ba islands of Hai Phong city. Dotted by around 139 small, white sandy beaches it is the ideal place for some peace and quiet in Vietnam. Kayakers can enjoy a bit of island hopping as they explore these hidden treasures of Vietnam. For a relaxing break from kayaking, travellers generally dock their kayaks and enjoy a picnic on these dazzling beaches or swim in the crystal blue waters of the South Chinese Sea. Known to be the ideal location for snorkelling is the area surrounding the rocky islands of Green Strait, which is home to colourful and lively coral reefs. Kayaks are the new way to explore the islands of Vietnam as opposed to cruise ships, as travellers have the ability and freedom to visit secret caves, rugged mountainous areas and glide through the unknown, untraveled path between the islands.
