Ha Long Bay, located in the Gulf of Tonkin, covers an area of 1500 square km. The calm sea provides an ideal location for sea kayaking amid dramatic natural scenery. With our modern kayaking equipment, we are able to maximize speed and maneuverability as we paddle and explore the many hidden lagoons and caves. After a day of paddling, we unwind on a deserted beach on one of Ha Long's many islands and enjoy dinner before retiring to sleep under a blanket of stars. Combining the best of sea kayaking and camping, these tours allow the novice and the experienced Kayaker to sample the delights of this sport in some of Vietnams´ most stunning scenery. Our equipment includes modern Xebec Kayaks, which are stable and safe with lightweight aluminum paddles. All passengers and guides are supplied with modern, international standard buoyancy vests. We also use lightweight tents all of which are fitted with mosquito screens. In keeping with our philosophies on safety, our guides have been trained in basic first aid and CPR by an international medical clinic.
