V’spirit Cruises

Halong Bay, one of the best tourist attractions in Vietnam, is an ideal place for swimming. Surrounded by thousands of limestone mountains and islands, Halong possesses a wide area of tranquil, emerald and turquoise water so you can’t see the bottom. There are many charming and beautiful beaches, which are suitable for swimming like Ti Top Beach, Soi Sim Beach, Ba Trai Dao Beach, Ngoc Vung Beach, etc. Most of them have pure blue water, idyllic sands so you can totally relax on the sandbank while contemplating the stunning scenery of mountains and water combined together.

Tips for Safe Swimming in Halong Bay:

• Doing a warm-up before swimming and don’t overestimate your swimming ability.

• Swimming at the safety area following the guide of the lifeguard on surf conditions before swimming. Never swim alone and swim in water area of unknown depth - use the buddy system.

• Never swim while intoxicated. Alcohol impairs judgment, unnecessary risks are taken and a swimmer will tire more easily, increasing the chance of an accident.

• Don’t swim too long, especially, at noon when climate is too hot and too much sunlight, you can easily feel tired and get sunstroke.

• Should wear sandals instead of shoes to let your foot feel more comfortable and airy.

• Should apply sunscreen to protect your skin especially in the summer.

• Be watchful over jellyfishes because they can hurt you, but don’t too worry about that because there are a little jellyfishes in Halong Bay and you can ask sailors of your cruise to know the best place to swim.

Have a Good Trip!
