Reasons for choosing Lan Ha Bay: 1. Wanted to avoid the cave itinerary in Ha Long Bay day trips, as we have seen many similar landscapes in southwestern China. 2. Increased the budget for meals. 3. Interested in the original ecological village environment of Cat Ba Island.
After the actual experience, all of the above expectations were met, and the overall experience exceeded expectations. The types of seafood meals on board depended on the ingredients that could be purchased in the market that day. Unfortunately, in November, we could only eat cuttlefish and prawns that are available in all seasons, and the variety was far less abundant than in the peak season. Nevertheless, the food was very delicious and varied.
Our guide, Billy, was very knowledgeable and professional. He gave us a very comprehensive introduction to Vietnam's modern history and current development. His English was clear and accurate, and he followed international etiquette, which impressed me very much. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will consider staying overnight on Cat Ba Island.
