Just like other floating villages located in Ha Long Bay, Vung Vieng Village can only be approached by sea after few hours journey; local people make a living here at the low demand: limited drinking water bought from the large vessel every week, transportation is by small rowing boat, even school children have to make their daily journey by boat, there is only one elementary school in the area so children at Vung Vieng only attend school in few years then going to the mainland if their parents want them to keep learning higher level. Cruise a responsible trip, Indochina Sails always suggest that passengers prepare some small gifts such as coloring books, notebooks, pencil, for those smiling children.
The journey to the village ends at one point intriguing dip through a cave that millennia of water flows have carved through the heart of one of the rocky pillars that pepper the bay.
