Halong Bay Trail, Vietnam - Jan. 24, 2014

Walking Distance: 1 mile (estimate)
Walking Time: 2 hr. stop (estimate)
Start and End Point: (boat dock)

Occasionally I include short write-ups about visits to other bay trail walks from around the world. I was fortunate to be able to make a visit to Halong Bay (Vietnam) in January 2014.

Towering sea stacks loomed up through the mist the day we were there. Some of these vertical islands in the Bay were big enough to have trails and networks of caves in their interior.

Our tour boat landed on one island and we took a hike, around the shore, and up flights up stairs, and then into and through lit caves. It was a magical experience.


Wildlife Sightings:
A few sea birds flew by that I couldn't identify
