Tekemistä paikassa Haiphong

Google Mapsin mukaan ohjeet kehottavat tulemaan suoraan laivan lähtöpaikalle, joten toisin kuin muilla retkillä, jotka ohjaavat Tuan Chau International Marinaan, voit ottaa taksin suoraan ensimmäiseen kuvan osoittamaan paikkaan. Saavuttuasi vastaanotto vahvistaa varauksen ja pääset kyytiin. Asiakkaiden vastaanoton, aikataulun selityksen ja lounaan jälkeen lähdemme bambuveneellä tutkimaan luolia, minkä jälkeen melomme kajakilla ja uimme ennen paluuta ja teehetkeä. Lounasbuffetin ruoat ja juomat olivat kaikki mieleeni, ja kaikki vastaanoton henkilökunta oli ystävällistä. Kiitos, että sain viettää todella mukavan ajan.

Loistava päiväretki, paljon aktiviteetteja, mutta ei liian pitkä. Kaunis vene. Olemme gluteenittomia ja saimme turvallisia ruokavaihtoehtoja buffetista. Oppaamme Billy oli uskomaton ja teki ehdottomasti kaikkensa, ottaen upeita kuvia kaikista vieraista puolestamme, sekä tarjoten sadetakkeja, kun palasimme takaisin myrskyyn Hanoissa! Toivotan hänelle kaikkea hyvää.

fantastic cruise!!! every effort was made to make our trip comfortable. international cuisine. kids loved all the activities. do carry dry fit clothes and swimsuits. especially footwear.. the manager Mr. Ha was very good. Will definitely recommend.

So glad to have Victor as our guide, he made sure the whole journey was worth it from the very start to finish. The pick up time was very early in the morning but Victor’s energy was unmatched. He was enthusiastic, humorous and very intelligent when touring us around historical sights that we passed in the bus. One thing I’d like to commend him is his organisation skills, he made sure everyone in the group understood the timings and itinerary of our experience. Everything was laid out so clearly and his communication skills were excellent. He took really good care of us, any questions we had, even unrelated to the cruise we booked, he was happy to guide us and recommend the best options for us. Although the cruise had a tiny few outdated decorations and facilities that needed to be fixed (e.g the japanese toilet in our cabin bathroom), and that there wasn’t any wifi in our cabin, we still made the most out of it. Food was great, we were well fed and a lot of options for us.

An excellent cruise, worth every dong! I'm surprised by the great quality for such a moderate price. The boat is very comfortable and clean; you can sit downstairs in a cool area or upstairs on the second and third decks on comfortable seats or loungers. Lunch is hearty, with an excellent selection of very tasty dishes, and importantly, the crew accommodates all dietary restrictions and needs. The route is incredibly beautiful; you'll want to endlessly gaze at the cliffs and the sea. But the special highlight is the guide, Hau (Mr. Happy): super enthusiastic, active, cheerful, attentive, and truly infectious with his mood and love for the local area. I can wholeheartedly recommend this company and this boat.

Olimme matkalla joulukuussa, otimme kahdeksi päiväksi, kaikki oli erittäin miellyttävää. Ainoa asia oli, että retkillä oli todella paljon ihmisiä, mutta se ei liity matkanjärjestäjään. Hytit olivat upeita, merisairautta ei tullut, ja illalla viihdettä tarjosi karaoke. Ainoa asia, mitä kaduimme, oli se, ettemme ottaneet kolmeksi päiväksi ja kolmeksi yöksi.

so grateful I choose Hera. Eventough so many people choose the cheaper options to Ha Long Bay Area (visit Sung Sot Cave & Ti Top Island), but I prefer Hera Cruise which is most likely exploring the Lan Ha Bay area instead of Ha Long Bay. The 2 bays are neighbouring but Lan Ha Bay is more private, quiter and less touristy. The price of the cruise is truly reasonable. Since I was going on low season (June), the cruise was not full so our lunch was converted to a set course. Surprisingly GOOD! We have welcome drink + 6 courses (and order additional water & ice tea throughout the day). We also remember Jenny, the staff who accompany us from the beginning. She was so kind, no pushy for upselling, able to speak english, and good hospitality. Yes Hera leaves one hour earlier than the other cruises, but it makes the journey has lesser rush. Got back to old quarter by 7pm and after the trip ended, we can still have an enjoyable on time dinner. Oh the VIP limousine bus was also great. So comfy.

The zoo is spacious (the elephant looks sad) 🥹 (9.5/10). The play area is fantastic, no long lines (10/10). Food and drinks inside are a bit expensive, so it's better to eat outside the gate (cheaper prices). The whole area is very large, so wear comfortable shoes.

Tickets are easy to book, and the staff are enthusiastic. It's less crowded if you go at 11 AM. Once you cross to the other side, take the Én Vàng bus for 310k to get to the city center.
