My experience of traveling to Ha Long Bay when kayaking is to sit still and hold the position tightly for easy balance.

- Seeing Ha Long Bay from a seaplane: This is a relatively new form of experience. On the seaplane, you will have a view like a bird flying overhead, zooming in, embracing the majestic scenery of Ha Long Bay.
