Ba Be Lake, Bac Kan Located in Northern Vietnam, Ba Be Lake is an ideal choice when you need some tranquil moments amidst the unspoiled wilderness.
The lake belongs to Ba Be National Park, a reserve founded in 1992 to protect more than 300 species inhabited in the primitive forest. Ba Be means “Three Lakes” in Vietnamese. It refers to the distinctive topography which consists of three smaller reservoirs to combine an area of 6.5 km2 of Ba Be Lake.

Now that there isn’t any traffic noise nor any sound of modern civilization, you can notice the birds chirping around and the quiet flow of the water. Sometimes, a whopping of wild animals seems to tear the silence apart, drawing your daydreaming soul back to the present.
Halong Bay If you have done any googling on Vietnam holiday packages, Halong Bay may appear on the top search all the time. More than just a declared World UNESCO Site, Halong Bay is truly a magical destination where the mountain meets the ocean. Halong can be translated into the Land of Descending Dragons, which is a symbolic way to depicts 3,000 limestone karsts emerging from the Gulf of Tonkin.

numerous stalactites in mysterious shapes. And before you can realize it, your mouth is wide open; your eyes are staring in awe when seeing the sparkling of the stalagmites.
Lan Ha Bay Right next to the world-renowned Halong Bay is Lan Ha Bay, another excellent place for a kayak tour. Despite less popular than Halong, you can take advantage of the low tourist density of Lan Ha to relish a leisurely trip.

However, floating within the deep old jungle in Cat Ba National Park is what differs this hidden gem from the crown jewel. Taking kayaking package tours in Lan Ha Bay, to be sure that you don't miss Cat Ba island where Cat Ba National Park locates. It is the home of more than 30 types of mammal, some of which are the world's most endangered golden-headed langur. You may think Cat Ba and Ba Be National Park are similar but it can never be true.

Phong Nha Unlike other destinations in this list, Phong Nha looks quite strange when it comes to Vietnam tourism. Still, the remarkable nature of Phong Nha is gaining popularity and achieving the public attention it deserves.
Phong Nha Cave is the most critical site in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. Scientists found evidence that this is the most ancient karst mountains formed in Asia. Phong Nha Cave may be 400 million years old now. The cave has an incredible length of 7,729 meters long, with around 14 grottoes. It features a 13,969-meter underground river, so Phong Nha promises to lighten you up with the spectacle of nature. Since mass tourism hasn’t touched on Phong Nha, most of the internal kayaking routes are dark, which makes you feel like joining a real treasure hunt with a torchlight band on your head.

However, it’s more than enough to make you startle in your Vietnam package tour.
