This summer, Quang Ninh’s islet sea tourism promises to strongly come back with interesting, new, energetic and vibrant experiences for tourists. Along with Ha Long Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay and the other islands also possess its exceptional and distinct discovered tours.
When it comes to Bai Tu Long Bay, visitors will depart from the modern Ao Tien international cruise port and enjoy themselves on newly-invested, facilities boats, which are utterly ideal for exciting journeys. Tourists are able to appreciate spectacular landscapes and tasty dishes, along with experiencing mindful activities such as “Tea Appreciation and Meditation at Sunrise and Sunset,” or transform into a fisherman through the program “A Day as a Fisherman.” These activities are particularly attracting young people and international visitors.
On the one hand, Minh Chau and Quan Lan islands (Van Don) also make an impression because of their uninhabited beauty combined with the depth of community culture. White-soft sand beaches, ancient forests and traditional fisherman’s lifestyle are remarkable “ingredients” that create their own unique travel characteristics. A model “tourists are a part of a fishing village” is attractive for travellers as they have opportunities for emerging themselves in local living such as singing, dragging net, cooking…
The atmosphere became even more vibrant with the 2025 Van Don Beach Tourism Festival recently held in Minh Chau, themed “A Love Song of the Sea.” This was not only a tourism event but also an occasion to honor local culture and foster community connection. At the same time, inter-island tours between Minh Chau and Quan Lan have been continuously refreshed, offering visitors opportunities to swim and relax at stunning beaches such as Son Hao and Minh Chau, while also exploring the Tram forest, historical relics, and the Quan Lan lighthouse.
Visiting Co To – A paradise of island sea tourism, tourists will experience special and appealing travel products such as water motor racing, kayaking, flying parachutes… that bear unforgettable and joyful emotions. Otherwise, the other gripping activities are the flag national-raised ceremony at Ho Chi Minh President Monument, discovering wild islands, scuba diving, night walking street… also contribute to make-up a bustling festive air throughout the summer.
A highlight of this year’s tourism season is the synchronization and professionalism in service organization across coastal and island localities. Numerous businesses have launched all-inclusive travel combos covering transportation, accommodation, electric vehicles, and local exploration tours — making it easier for tourists to choose a journey that suits their preferences.
With fresh experiences and methodical-invested travel products, Quang Ninh’s islet sea tourism is expected to welcome the great number of tourists in the upcoming summer tourism season and bring significant revenues for Quang Ninh tourism.
