Bai Tu Long Bay is a bay and national park that sits directly northeast of Halong Bay, and while it may be Halong’s lesser-known neighbor, it is without a doubt, equal in beauty! The Bay encompasses Bai Tu Long National Park and like Halong Bay, is an area protected by the local government on both land and sea.

  • Bai Tu Long Bay is located in the northeastern Halong bay and encompasses a total area of 158 km2.
  • It incorporates a population of about 320,000 inhabitants, residing mostly on Van Don district, Quan Lan island and Ngoc Vung Island.
  • Bai Tu Long Bay covers an area of over 1,500 square kilometers, making it one of the largest bays in Vietnam.
  • Bai Tu Long Bay is known for its stunning natural beauty, with its towering cliffs, pristine beaches, and crystal-clear waters.
  • Bai Tu Long Bay is home to a unique ecosystem, including hundreds of species of flora and fauna, and several species of endangered marine life.

Bai Tu Long is made up of hundreds of islands and islets, some of which are well-known tourist locations, and others that are completely unknown to foreign visitors. This particular bay is home to a variety of ecosystems – visitors can find mangroves, schist islands, coral reefs, and tropical forests.

Visitors to Bai Tu Long will notice that the landscape is identical to that of Halong Bay, and that it is more of an extension of Halong rather than a neighbour. Just like Halong Bay, throughout Bai Tu Long there are giant limestone karsts jutting out of the tranquil green waters. However, in Bai Tu Long the karsts seem slightly taller, the concentration of them feels somewhat denser and the number of tourists are fewer. All of this adds to the wonderful feeling of being somewhere almost undiscovered, allowing visitors to truly contemplate their surroundings in peace.

The best way to explore Bai Tu Long Bay is undeniably by joining a tour 2 days one night and overnight on boat. Many cruise operators will help their guests to enjoy Bai Tu Long in the best way possible, with many activities to make the most of the experience.
