Ha Long Bay Kayaking

May 10, 2009

Approximately 4 hours east of Hanoi is Ha Long Bay. On our first day here we started with a kayaking trip, where we went through hidden tunnels to secret lagoons and between giant limestone cliffs. Though it was a bit of a workout to say the least, kayaking through a Ha Long Bay is an amazing experience that everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. Every excruciating paddle stroke is worth the amazing scenery you experience.

Having gone to Ha Long you realize there's no better sculptor than nature itself. Watching the panoramic view make's you also realize the vastness of this earth and nature's beauty.

Don't get thrown off by these two ugly mugs, I swear the scenery in Ha Long is better.















Our group of about 9 people, including a guide, went through pristine lagoons and narrow caves.





























The limestone mountains make you want to just stop paddling and let the current take you, while your eyes are in constant awe of the view.
