Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chile’s national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina. It is also among the most important, receiving a significant proportion of domes

I come to Halong at noon; the sun is high in the sky and burningbright. At the pier countless wooden junks, sailboats, speedboats andtiny bamboo boats bob around. After a four hour stint in the van fromHanoi, everybody is understandably itching to kick back and feel thesea breeze on board. Indochinasails Just then a speed-boat arrives with a flourish andwe pile on board before zooming off to the Indochina Sail, a large,handsome junk that the captain proudly announces is 44 meters long and8.5 meters wide – and indeed it seems a fine, seaworthy vessel to me. On board the Indochina Sail, we have a restaurant, the Indochina SailBar, a gift shop and even a library. Guests can also avail ofbinoculars, snorkeling equipment or top-of-the-line Canadian madekayaks. As we set off into the bay, I tentatively start with thebinoculars. Most of my fellow travelers are content to flop around the deck,sipping drinks, surveying the impressive view or catching a bit of sun.A trip to Halong is first and foremost about relaxing! Sun-shy, Istretch out on a lie-low on the more shaded lower deck and listen tothe buffeting breeze and the sound of the boat chopping through thewaves. Time passes and I happily doze off in the salty air. A call for lunch stirs me out of my light slumber. A five-course lunchis devoured by the hungry guests. We hadn’t even worked up an appetite. Afterwards, we drop anchor at Ti Top Island. Heading back to my cabin to shower and change for dinner, I discover acard reads: “Wine Tasting is waiting for you now.” We clamber up thedeck for a special feast with Chile, South African and American wineall round. The sun drops behind the surrounding islands as we sit inthe dwindling twilight. Slightly tipsy, I step down the restaurant for dinner in the sweetmelodies of traditional Vietnamese Dan Bau (Monochord musicinstrument). At night the bay is magical. The voices of vendors who have rowed up to our junk to sell snacks,seafood, souvenirs and cigarettes make me wake up. “Today is a hard butvery interesting day for us. We are coming to Ngoc Vung Island andkayaking around Cong Do fishing-village,” the crew informs us of ouritinerary for the second day. After disembarking the Indochina Sails Junk onto a smaller wooden boat,we sail towards the shore of Ngoc Vung Island along with my fellowtravelers and a bunch of mountain bikes. We are off for a cycling tipacross this mysterious island which sits amongst the awe inspiringHalong archipelago. From the wharf, we cycle along a coastal road that skirts the island’shilly terrain. The road is spectacular. There is never a chance to getbored with stunning views of land and sea. Off the shoreline fishermen are caulking their bamboo boat with tar orscrapping worms off the panels of their wooden boats. Along the roadseveral women are mending fishing nets or drying peanuts. Up the hillyslopes, children blithely tend to oxen or geese. On the verdant paddyfields farmers pull up weeds or busy themselves with fresh water pondsof fish and shrimp. For those worried about cycling on country roads on remote islands,Ngoc Vung boasts fairly smooth infrastructure all round. There is verylittle traffic. Just the odd three-wheeled vehicle or motorbike passesby. Life on the island is simple. If you’re after tranquility, you willfind it in spades. The road from the wharf to beach is rather short, just 5km, so even ifyou’re not a keen cyclist you should find it easy enough. There is noneed to rush, no need to stress out. We stop frequently and bask in theisland’s natural beauty. Away from the sea, you can find luxuriantfields of rice and pine trees. When we finally arrive at the white sandy beach, it sparkles andglistens under the sunshine. There is not a soul bathing on the beach.For tourists looking for a remote hidden getaway spot this fits thebill. The island is 12square kilometers in area with over 1,000 inhabitantsliving mainly off fishing, farming, aquaculture and afforesting. Butthere are no bars or restaurants, no showers or toilets. But that’s whywe’re here: To escape the crowds and bask in our own little privateparadise. After swimming, sun-bathing and walking along the beach, with heavyhearts we cycle back towards the boat. But just when we think the funis over our tour guide introduces us to the kayaks. Sailing way from Ngoc Vung Island, we clamber into the kayaks andpaddle off to Cong Do, a floating fishing village in Bai Tu Long bay,25km southeast of Halong wharf. You can find shrimp, crab, fish, squid and aquatic plants. We paddlearound soaking up the atmosphere and dreaming of a seafood dinner thatwe will have back in Indochina Sails again tonight. Our second daypasses with adventurous and passionate activities and we think of thelast day with more unforgettable moments. --- Promotion: The Indochina Sails offers a specialpromotion for Last minutes booking with free kayaking and Free Roomupgrade for all booking around 24h.
