Those who visit Halong Bay are rarely left untouched by the power and beauty of the site. However, if you come to Halong and don't take the opportunity to closely explore this marvel, you may miss some of the unique sites that give the bay its legend.

On the Dragon’s Pearl Junk we take you to the must see highlights of Halong Bay and offer a host of activities for you including swimming, visiting amazing caves on foot or in your kayak to closely explore the karsts, grottos, lagoons and floating village, trekking in Catba National Park or lazing on the deck.
