After a luxurious night of sleep in our cabin on the Dragon Legend, we woke ready for a day of adventure. On Day Two of our cruise, we'd be visiting two dream beaches, exploring a limestone cave, and kayaking around the hills of Ha Long Bay.
After settling into our room aboard the Dragon Legend, we had lunch and then took a couple short excursions. The first would be a sightseeing trip on a small jetty between the limestone hills, while the second would take us to one of Ha Long's oldest floating fishing villages.
Ha Long Bay was a destination which we had been excited about, but also dreading. For every jaw-dropping photo of the bay's karst hills, there's a horror story to match. Would we experience an otherworldly paradise, or a tourist boat traffic jam? More than usual, our choice of operator seemed to be extremely important.
