Aurora Travel in Action: Halong Bay Trash Cleanup for a Cleaner, Greener Future
On June 2025, Aurora Travel & DMC proudly joined over 100 passionate volunteers in a meaningful environmental initiative — the annual Halong Bay Trash Cleaning Campaign, organized by Keep Vietnam Clean. This powerful event brought together individuals and organizations dedicated to protecting one of Vietnam’s most iconic UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Halong Bay.
A Collective Effort to Protect Halong Bay

Teaming up with our valued partners at Bhaya Cruise, our team embarked on small kayaks and watercraft to access some of the bay’s most hidden and difficult-to-reach areas, including the serene surroundings of Ba Men Temple and Ba Ham Lake. These areas, nestled between islets and limestone cliffs, often collect floating debris that can threaten the marine ecosystem and impact the natural beauty of the bay.
Over the course of a full day, volunteers collected:
- Several hundred pieces of waste, including styrofoam, abandoned fishing nets, wood debris, and
- Nearly 200 kilograms of plastic waste, spread across a 2-kilometer stretch of beach and coastal waters.
More Than Just Cleanup: A Commitment to Sustainable Tourism
At Aurora Travel, we believe that responsible travel goes hand in hand with sustainable tourism. Participating in this environmental action was more than a restoration effort — it was a reminder of our deep connection with nature and our responsibility as a travel company to protect the destinations we promote.
Transporting the waste to disposal site
Halong Bay is not only a major highlight for travelers in Vietnam, but also a fragile marine environment that deserves our long-term care. By engaging in conservation efforts and collaborating with local organizations, we aim to inspire positive change and support environmental education among travelers, partners, and local communities alike.
Why This Matters for Responsible Travel in Vietnam
Pollution in coastal regions like Halong Bay is an ongoing challenge. As tourism grows, so does the need for eco-conscious initiatives, from waste reduction to conservation and community involvement.
