Pelican Bay, Lucaya

Advantages:

...Everyone knows there is excellent diving in the Carribean. It is also well known that there are a lot of unsafe diving companies out there.

All cost about 10$( if you want a nice cruise, you'd better pay more). Landscape Known as Natural World Heritage site, Halong bay consists of over 2000 islands and islets as well as some limestone rock with hundreds of different shape. As you are on the cruise , you can see them closely and relise that they even have their 'soul'. Each of them has its own name such as: *Hon Trong Mai ( the cock and hen islet ). *Hon Thien nga ( the swan islet). *Hon Dau nguoi ( the human... Read review
