Taking off and landing on the water at Tuan Chau Marina, our 25-minute scenic flight showcases the highlights of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay, offering a completely different perspective than from a cruise ship. From the air, the many islands appear like mountain ranges, the embodiment of ""Ha Long"", meaning ""descending dragon"". Dau Be Island: Located in the southeast of Ha Long Bay, Dau Be Island is 500m east of Hang Trai Island, and about 28 km from Bai Chay Cruise Port. The island is part of an archipelago on the outer route of Ha Long Bay (gateway to Lan Ha Bay). Cong Do Island: Situated in Bai Tu Long Bay, southeast of Ha Long Bay, and 25km from Bai Chay Cruise Port, Cong Do Island is part of the natural World Heritage area. Bo Hon Island: Bo Hon rightfully appears on every list of most beautiful islands in Ha Long Bay, not only for its fantastic scenery but because it comprises one of the largest island chains in Ha Long Bay.
