Sometimes, you will see garbages on Ha Long Bay due to changes in flowing water and tides, garbages from other places come to to Ha Long Bay. Government, local people, travel companies... are trying their best to clean up Ha Long Bay.

For the best trip, we need your cooperation. Please tell us all the problems, questions if you have. Our tour guide is always there to help you.

We also hope that customers will respect all other tourists in the group, respect the culture, timetable and common principles...
