We are delighted to share that Indochina Junk has been featured in The Independent (UK) in the article “Vietnam’s lesser-known destinations away from the tourist trail”.
The feature celebrates Vietnam’s untouched beauty beyond its famous tourist spots – and highlights Bai Tu Long Bay, a serene and unspoiled corner of the Gulf of Tonkin where Indochina Junk has long been a pioneer in sustainable cruising.
“Pictures of Ha Long Bay feature in every Vietnam advert. But this Unesco World Heritage darling is packed to the gills with tourist boats. So, try an overnight cruise here with one on nearby Bai Tu Long Bay. You’ll still float by towering karst mountains, kayak its emerald waters and wave to sleepy floating fishing villages – just with far less congestion,”
– The Independent, UK
The article recommends travelers to board a traditional wooden junk and explore Bai Tu Long Bay’s breathtaking limestone landscapes, emerald waters, and tranquil floating villages – away from the crowds of Ha Long Bay.
