DESCRIBE

Lan Ha Bay has a crescent shape, surrounded by over 400 large and small islands. The name "Lan Ha" means "the orchid flower that descends to Earth for a beautiful life." Although it does not have as many islands surrounding it as Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay is notable for having 139 small sandy beaches, such as Ang Vem, Cat Dua Beach, and Cat Co Beach. If you don’t have much time to explore the entire Lan Ha Bay, you only need half a day of kayaking in the central area of the bay to reach the most beautiful spots of this kayaking paradise.
