Canoe the Ba Be Lakes, Vietnam



Canoeing on the tranquil Ba Be Lakes Vietnam is an alternative nature retreat like few others. As your guide paddles out of the dim, stalactite-filled cave and onto the shimmering lake, the air fills with the roar of the distant Dau Dang waterfall. On all sides the tree-covered limestone cliffs loom overhead, their dense vegetation seeming to merge in to the jade-coloured water. You’re a long way north of Hanoi and it feels like Ba Be Lakes Vietnam. The Tay people live perched over the edge of the lake in houses on stilts – and it’s in one of these that you can eat and sleep, looking out on the bamboo-lined lake as fisherman travel by in their wooden canoes.
