By foot, by boat..
There are several ways to explore the Ba Be National Park. It is inhabited by different ethnic groups, but the largest group in this National Park is the Tay tribe, who live in houses on stilts. Of you decide to take a boat tour, you will find some waterfalls and hidden caves inside of the rocks along the way. Maybe you’ll also see one of the rare tropical birds or fishes that live here! After the boat trip you can take a short walk to a Tay village where you could stay in a simple homestay on the edge of the lake. An unforgettable experience!

No.2 Enchanted Halong Bay
The spectacular Halong Bay, Vietnam’s version of an amphitheatre, is an absolute
must see during your trip. This bay includes some 1,600 islands and islets,
which create an impressive scenery of limestone karsts pillars with beautiful
beaches and coves. Visiting Halong Bay feels like walking into a movie and will
give you goose bumps on your entire body. Unfortunately, the Bay has become
more and more touristic over the last few years. However, it still remains one
of the best places in Vietnam to see.
No.3 Tribes in Mai Chau
Mai Chau is a collection of villages located in a magical valley landscape. In this valley you will find mainly White Thai
people, living their lives in their own traditional way, in the middle of many
beautiful rice fields. These tribes here live in wooden houses on stilts.
Underneath some of these wooden houses you can find little shops where the
locals sell their own handicrafts.
The best way to explore this area and its culture is by staying with one of the
White Thai families in a homestay. You’ll get to know their food specialties,
their daily duties and their way of living. If you’re a sporty type as well, it’s
also very beautiful to ride a bicycle here!
