Halong Bay, Vietnam

A hugely visited area, but beautiful. 

45 dollars buy you a 2 day 1 night trip (stay over on the boat), including cruising, a cave, kayaking, and 3 meals (if you can call it that). This was a middle of the range boat.

 

All of the boats are wooden like this.

The food was the only bad thing. When a tour agency advertises seafood you should be careful.

Hanging out on the top deck. You can jump off from here and go swimming, which is really scary.

In the cave, they have dolphin and tuna trash cans. It's kind of ironic to put your trash in it, because they literally do eat our trash in the ocean.
 

You can't go wrong with a trip out here. The boat was the most comfortable place I'd been on the trip, and the weather was cool and breezy.
