More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from Tuan Chau’s marina onto a polished teak deck as limestone towers cut the sky into sudden walls; the water below dares you to come closer. Scarlet Pearl slips away from Halong City into Lan Ha Bay, where quiet coves and emerald lagoons braid between karst islets and floating fishing houses. The first afternoon the ship slows at a narrow 70‑metre water slot that opens into Sang Cave; guests transfer to kayaks or local rowboats and paddle under arches of sunlight into Ech Lagoon’s glassy basin.
