A Boat Tour

A boat tour is a short trip in a small boat taken for tourist reasons, typically starting and ending in the same place, and normally of a duration less than a day. This contrasts with cruising in large ships for a number of days with accommodation in cabins.
Usually, a sightseeing boat is used.
We provide introductions of three boat tours for your choice: Bateaux Mouches on the River Seine in Paris, Ha Long bay boat tour, Viet Nam,  Maid of the Mist at the Niagara FallsCanada, USA.

2.      Ha Long bay boat tour, Viet Nam

Halong Bay is one of the most beautiful and impressive sights in Vietnam. Ha long bay has twice been recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Area for its exceptional scenic beauty and one of the world's greatest natural wonders.
Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including 1,960–2,000 islets, most of which are limestone.
Many visitors choose to spend either one or two nights cruising on a traditional junk, which not only allows more time for exploring, but also allows for the unforgettable spectacle of limestone islets piercing the mists as the sun rises over the bay.

Visitors will be picked up at the Bai Chay Tourist Wharf and start cruising through hundreds of limestone islands and islets on the bay. Here, witness beautiful spots like Cho Da (Stone Dog), Lu Huong (Incense Burner), Ba Hang Fishing Village and Ngon Tay (Fingers) Islets, and then, Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave is the next place for visiting- one of the most stunning caves in Halong bay.
In addition, board the boat and cruise to Ti Top island. Climb to the top of the hill on the island, visitors might explore this magical bay as its attractions are extremely numerous. They  could see parts of the bay- lush, sculpted valleys and hidden lakes which shimmered in the late afternoon sun. It was like glimpsing a primeval land untouched since the mother goddess of Vietnam Au Co,and the dragon prince, Lac Long Quan, met on earth thousands of years ago before they gave birth to the ancestors of modern Vietnam…

The tours are well coordinated from hotel pick up to drop off. If you are looking for a great tour look no further than Indochina and the Ha Long tour boat. Visitors will have a perfect cruise in Halong Bay!
