00:00I spent two weeks in Vietnam and this is the coolest thing that I did. While you might be
00:03familiar with Ha Long Bay, this is by Tu Long Bay. It is way less crowded on the same bay so you get
00:08the same views. I personally went on the cruise with Indochina Junk. Their mission is to combat
00:12over tourism, pollution of the beautiful bay, and give back to the local communities. They have
00:17several trip options but I highly recommend doing at least one night. You are taken straight to the
00:21dock by luxury van. It's not just mission-led, the boat is beautiful. Bathtub views of the bay.
00:26On board, there are three meals. They accommodate dietary restrictions and all throughout the day
00:31they offer many different activities from a full-service spa to caving, fishing, paddle boating,
00:37and a cruise through the local fishing villages. The dinner service also offered a show and before
00:42breakfast there was a sunrise tai chi class. Waking up to the views of the bay was truly surreal. It
00:47added with all of the cultural experiences, food, friendly staff, new friends from around the world,
00:52and the boat itself made it very hard to say goodbye. If you're heading to Vietnam make sure to add
00:57Bai Tu Long Bay to your itinerary.
