You wake before dawn on the sundeck, the ship easing through a maze of limestone towers. Mist peels off emerald water and the karsts seem to lean closer, as if inspecting your quiet passage. The boat hums; oars slap softly against hidden coves; gulls wheel overhead.

History
Halong Bay’s karst towers are the product of millions of years of uplift and erosion; the area later supported long-standing fishing and floating-village cultures.
Conservation
Heavy visitor numbers stress coral beds, mangroves and local fisheries; choose operators that limit waste, avoid single-use plastics, and respect no-anchoring zones.

Bring seasickness medication
The bay can get choppy; take preventive medication or use acupressure bands before boarding if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Waterproof your electronics
Use a dry bag or waterproof case for phones and cameras during kayaking and tender rides.
Wear water shoes
Rocky shorelines and slippery boat decks make sturdy water shoes or sandals a better choice than flip-flops.
Respect local fishing areas
If you visit floating villages, avoid feeding wildlife and ask before photographing people's homes or boats.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Protects electronics during kayak trips and tender transfers.
Motion-sickness remedy
