Most travelers tour this natural wonder aboard a cruise, but now there's another way to explore: by helicopter. Launched earlier this year, Halong Heli Tours showcases the unique seascape from on high. Travelers can choose from eight-to 40-minute sightseeing tours that soar over the bay's many islands, beaches and fishing villages.
