Halong Bay Seaplane Tour

A scenic flight is really the only way to truly appreciate Halong Bay’s magnificent seascape of nearly 2,000 jungle-clad limestone pillars reaching up from the green waters, all spread over an area of 2,000 square kilometres.

With a water takeoff and landing from Tuan Chau Island Marina, our 25-minute sightseeing flight takes in the highlights of UNESCO-listed Halong Bay, providing a completely different perspective than from a cruise ship. From the air, the islands appear as mountain ranges, resembling the undulating body of a dragon, the meaning of “Halong” in Vietnamese.

Our latest series Cessna Grand Caravan 208B-EX Amphibians are outfitted for a maximum of 12 passengers, ensuring that everyone can enjoy superb views.

• Dau Be Island: Located in the southeast of Halong Bay, 500 meters to the east, from the Bai Chay Tourist Wharf about 28 km, in a gland located in the outer archipelago of Ha Long Bay (Lan Ha Bay estuary), standing between Tra Ngu islands and Da Le Island.
• Cong Do island: On the south-east side of Ha Long Bay, about 25 km from Bai Cháy Wharf, Cong Do is in Bai Tu Long Bay in the region which recognised as the World Heritage. It has an area of 23,363 sq. m, and its mountain reaches a peak of 172 m. The island features many lagoons, which are the residence of numerous species of sea-life, such as shrimp, crab, fish, squid and aquatic plants.
• Bo Hon island: Bo Hon Island or Soap-Berry Tree Island, not only because of its splendid scenery, but also as it is one of the largest in the area. There are many grottoes located here, such as the Surprise, Luon, Virgin and Male grottoes. There is also a concentration of high mountains with vertical cliffs like citadel wall; mountains follow closely make a huge beautiful watercolour picture on the sea.
