The area immediately northeast of Halong Bay is known as Bai Tu Long Bay and is the focus of our special itinerary. Hundreds of islets rising from the clear waters, long sandy beaches beckon, grottoes and lagoons entice the visitor – an area relatively underdeveloped and unpolluted by the tourist trade

Annam Junk is a traditional sailing junk designed and built by Halong Travel. It is 26m long and there are 7 rooms, comprising 6 Deluxe rooms (2 doubles, 3 twin and 1 single) and 1 Suite room. It also has a restaurant and 2 sundecks. The junk was handmade from wood by 10 craftsmen over a period of 11 months and was finished on 20 July 2005.

Halong Bay is around 180km due East of Hanoi, about 3-4 hour drive way. This region, "the Bay of the Descending Dragon", is dotted with more than 3,000 mountainous islands, each with its own unique landscape. The islands are famous for their dolomite and limestone rock formations, many of which have been given names. Natural grottos, fjords, land tunnels and inlets are also common.
