Haiphong

The price is great, there’s a free transfer in both Hanoi and Cat Ba. Definitely try the cable car going 215m above the sea. I don’t really recommend the speedboat tho, you have to stay inside with no AC and there’s no nice view from there

Great experience! the driver Sir KhaVan was early and very considerate on the places we wanted to go to. Highly recommended! Perfect for gorups with seniors. Tip: Google Translate would help very much

really love it. we stayed in old quarter and also got pickup service from our hostel to the bus office. the trip was so smooth for us and also got dropoff service to our hotel. If u are in hanoi, Cat ba island is the first one that should go.The views are really worth to go and see.

the process was smooth. we only had to show our tickets to the officer, and we were immediately guided to where we needed to go. inside the train, there’s an outlet beside the seats where you can charge your devices, and the ac was good. the only downside was the bathroom, which was unclean and untidy. overall, not much to expect from an economy seat, but it was a decent experience.

As expected from Hotel Nikko, both the rooms and service were excellent. I particularly appreciated the variety of Japanese breakfast options. Even when staying at Japanese-affiliated hotels overseas, the breakfast can sometimes be disappointing, but here, despite the small venue, the selection was satisfying. The fact that guests can use the large public bath at the adjacent Roygent Parks also significantly enhanced my satisfaction. Although it takes about 20 minutes by car from Hai Phong Station, Grab taxis are readily available, and there are small supermarkets and cafes around the hotel, which was very convenient.

My favorite hotel in Hai Phong.

VinWonders offers a wide variety of exciting games, including thrilling rides and gentle family-friendly attractions. The animals are also very adorable.

While there are day trips available for Ha Long Bay cruises, I highly recommend an overnight stay if you have the time. The sunrise and sunset are truly worth seeing. I was worried about the transportation from Hanoi since it was my first time, but our guide, Lee, made such precise arrangements that I felt completely at ease once I was picked up! After boarding the ship, doing the canoeing activity makes it even more fun. I couldn't do it, so I joined via boat instead, but that was also a wonderful experience! I was worried because I was traveling alone and not very confident in English, but thanks to the wonderful nature of the staff and the other guests, I never felt lonely and laughed a lot. All the meals were delicious, and the room was lovely! The atmosphere was also great for anyone wanting to just relax. It was also an interesting experience to see people from so many different countries participating. We were blessed with great weather, making it a truly wonderful cruise.

Fantastic day cruise around Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba! Our guide Tuna was polite, and took excellent care of us throughout the day. The kayaking was excellent, the seafood lunch was fresh and delicious, the evening tea was nicely prepared and everything was clean and well organized. Beautiful views and great service from start to finish. 10/10 experience — highly recommend! 🌊🛶✨
