HUONG HAI JUNK


Best choice to discover Ha Long.

A legendary voyage with Huong Hai junk.

Proud to be the leader in cruising the green water of Halong Bay, royal junks with oriental style take visitors to the most spectacular spots.

Decorated with wood and bamboo, the junk's interior is both cozy and charming. With seating for 14, the dining room is intimate, giving the passengers a chance to get acquainted. Write wine seems appropriate for this festival occasion, we toast our voyage and delve into the seafood which Quang Ninh province is famous.

Away from the coast, the fresh smell of salt fills the air. The captain now orders his crew to hoist the sails, which stand out a deep purple against the blue sky. Accompanied by the sound of the wind on the sails, we make our way past towering dark green islands asmy sterious and fantastically shaped as fairytale castles. The upper deck is the perfect, breezy place to sunbathe or scan die magnificent scenery. Then, we cruise towards small piers, where we disembark to visit spectacular caves. Huong Hai Junk is the best choice to discover Ha Long in your Vietnam Travel trip


The captain now turns the Huong Hai towards Bai Tu Long Bay and hoists the sails. The junk anchors some where near Cat Ba - Hai Phong. At about 9 p.m, we board small bamboo boats and start to catch fish and crabs. It's midnight when we pull up to the junk. The crew cooks op our caught fish, squid, crabs and shrimp. This food, which we caught ourselves, tastes even better than usual.

In a single day on Halong Bay, we saw and experienced so much while we must now return to Hanoi, we all take some of the bay's magic with us. Rightly or wrongly, Huong Hai junks are known for their claims to be Halong's only wonderful junk.
