To fully discover the beautiful and natural attractions of Vietnam, a cruise on the scenic Halong Bay is truly an unforgettable experience. Almost all of the Vietnam packages tours are including a day or two to explore the Halong Bay, this is a natural site that is located within three hours car drive from Hanoi, some part of the Bay is protected by the government and only some certain area of the Bay is open for cruising, there are a large numbers of different cruises sailing through the beautiful Bay, each has different style and services to offer. Halong Bay is not only famous for its unusual rock formation which are dotted around the Bay, there are floating houses and small communities which are living on the sea since long time ago and once you are in there you will have chance to see them, they are mainly living by farming off the Bay and or fishing and selling the fruits to the cruise passengers.
