And now tourists have a new way to experience the dazzling natural attraction.
Northern Vietnam Helicopter Company, a subsidiary of state-owned helicopter operator Vietnam Helicopter Corporation, has launched a series of tourism flights over the scenic Halong Bay area.
Flights starting from $125 for 12 minutes
Added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1994, Halong Bay is filled with more than 1,600 limestone islands and islets.
The cheapest journey lasts for 12 minutes and will hover over six tourist sites, including Thien Cung cave, Titop island and Bai Tu Long Bay. The most expensive experience lasts for 40 minutes with views of 17 different sites along Halong Bay.
Bell 505 helicopters can seat three travelers per flight. They're fitted with forward-facing seats and large windows, offering great views of Halong Bay.
Not the first air tour
It isn't the first and only sightseeing flight operation in the area.
The 25-minute tour takes off and lands from the water at Tuan Chau Island Marina.
The cost ranges from $102-120 depending on the season and includes views of Dau Be Island, Cong Do Island and Bo Hon Island.
