Rock climbing in Halong bay

The famous Australian climber has conquered the peaks in the middle of Halong Bay and considered it one of the 5 most beautiful climbing spots in the world.


After some websites posted news that Australian climber and photographer - Simon Carter - had an article praising Halong Bay as one of the 5 most wonderful climbing spots in the world, many people were curious.

Because, for the first time, even those working in tourism in Halong Bay have heard of this type of sport, because the simple matter of opening more beaches in the middle of Halong Bay to serve tourists has not yet been finalized, including concerns about the safety of tourists.


Finding the article, in which Simon Carter highly praised the experience of climbing in Halong Bay, the locations of Carter and the tourists climbing are in Lan Ha Bay, part of the World Natural Heritage of Halong Bay - Cat Ba Archipelago.

According to those working in tourism in Cat Ba, rock climbing in the middle of Lan Ha Bay has existed for a long time and is very popular with tourists, especially Western tourists.


Simon Carter says this World Natural Heritage is not only "crazy beautiful", but also a great place for adventurous activities, such as diving, rock climbing... In particular, Cat Ba is considered the center for rock climbers, with rugged rocky mountains, sharp and precarious cliffs.

To experience it in the most adventurous way, Simon Carter said, you should take a boat to the rocky mountains in the middle of the sea and from there conquer the cliffs.


However, rock climbing here is not an ideal choice for beginners, but only for adventurous and experienced climbers.

The most ideal climbing spot that Simon Carter thinks is the Turtle Cave area (locals call it Turtle Island) - where there is a tall mountain standing alone in the middle of the deep sea.


"From the boat, you step out and climb with your bare hands. “Just you, the mountains and the ocean” - Simon Carter describes.

According to this famous Australian climber and photographer, Halong Bay is an ideal place to organize climbing competitions or open climbing tourism products to attract tourists.

Previously, some travel companies have proposed opening adventure tourism and sports tourism services in Halong Bay to develop tourism.
