Cruise is one of the activities that many people recommend to try when coming to the bay. When sitting on the boat, visitors will be taken to visit many islands in the area, watching different limestone blocks lying on the water.

But Joshua advises international visitors to stay overnight on the boat to see a completely different Ha Long Bay, in the setting of "only the golden moonlight and the silver color of the water".
