Recognised as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995, Halong Bay is one of the country's most striking panoramas, with hundreds of islands and islets containing secret grottos, deserted beaches, tiny fishing villages and spectacular cliffs. For MICE groups visitng Vietnam there are now a number of options for taking in the splendour of beautiful Halong Bay, among them some luxuriously fitted junks, boats and yachts offering every comfortand convenience to guests on board. The latest boats to ply the placid waters of Halong include a classic single-wheeled paddle steamer, the Emeraude, which can accommodate the largest groups in its 37 cabins. Trips can be taken for a day, overnight or extended cruise of two or more nights on board. Beach barbecues can be arranged, or leave it to the expert chefs to prepare sumptuous seafood banquets eaten under the stars at the end of a perfect day's cruising. During the summer months, swimming and snorkelling are favourite activities while sea-kayaks provide a perfect opportunity to explore the islands from close quarters.
