Halong Bay was one of the destinations that I most wanted to visit in Southeast Asia, and I finally made it there last week!
Sam and I chose to take a 2 day tour of the harbour and one of the activities we got to enjoy on our first day at sea was kayaking!
I was really looking forward to going for a dip in the water, but since it was jellyfish season (we could see them bobbing near the surface!) that was out of the question. Instead, we hopped on a boat that took us out to a floating village, and from there we slipped into our kayaks and set off to explore the jagged karsts and limestone cliffs.
I am happy to say that we did not tip over the kayak – phew!
Here are a few photos from our afternoon at sea:

There you have her, beautiful Halong Bay – another reason why you should visit Vietnam.
Have you been kayaking in Halong Bay?
