Serenity Explorer egynapos hajóút: Lan Ha-öböl és Cat Ba egynapos túra

A Lan Ha-öböl választásának okai: 1. El akartuk kerülni a Ha Long-öböl egynapos túrájának barlangász programját, mivel Kína délnyugati részén már láttunk sok hasonló tájat. 2. Magasabb költségvetést szántunk az étkezésre. 3. Érdekelt minket Cat Ba szigetének érintetlen falusi környezete. A tényleges tapasztalatok után ezek a várakozások mind teljesültek, sőt, az összkép felülmúlta az előzetes elképzeléseinket. A hajón felszolgált tengeri ételek választéka attól függött, hogy aznap milyen alapanyagok voltak elérhetők a piacon. Sajnos novemberben csak a négy évszakban kapható tintahal és garnélarák volt elérhető, a választék messze elmaradt a főszezoni kínálattól. Ennek ellenére az ételek nagyon ízletesek és változatosak voltak. Az utazás során Billy, az idegenvezetőnk rendkívül tájékozott és professzionális volt. Nagyon részletes bemutatót tartott nekünk Vietnam modern kori történelméről és jelenlegi fejlődéséről. Angol nyelvtudása tiszta és pontos volt, és megfelelt a nemzetközi udvariassági normáknak, ami mély benyomást tett rám. Ha lesz rá lehetőségem, a jövőben fontolóra veszem, hogy Cat Ba szigetén éjszakázzak.

Mr Binh is very good and he made our trip very comfortable ,communicates well. overall experience with serenity cruise is excellent and i highly recommend it .The food was exellent ,the staff were very good.Instead of going to halong bay ,book a sereneity cruise to lan ha bay and cat ba island .its worth a thousand times.

It was very good experience for me, i think i made the best decision to choose Lan Ha Bay with Serenity. They have good boat, good services, good itineraries, and our tour guide Billy is so resposive and amiable. i’d recommend you if you want to visit Lan Ha Bay, yeah choose Serenity💕

The itinerary for one day trip was well-planned and executed by our guide, Binh. There were multiple transfers, bus, ferry and bus again before getting on the cruise. Lunch followed soon after and the spread was delightable with lots of choices from meat to seafood to vegetarian options. After lunch, we headed to Viet Hai village for cycling. fret not if you can’t cycle as there was also electric car to ferry you around. After cycling, there is kayaking, cruise slide and jumping into the water. We saw huge jellyfishes in the waters but it didn’t seemed to bother anyone. the trip ended with fruits, tea cake, biscuits and tea before going back to Hanoi on the same route. Do note that towels are provided and there were 4 WCs/changing room on board. Drinks are chargeable but at a reasonable price. Binh was clear and fluent in his guide, providing a history of vietnam and clear instructions throughout the day.

We were lucky to have experienced fair weather during this trip. There was a bit of rain but we really enjoyed the activities especially the tour around Viet Hai Village and kayaking. It's always nice to hear stories and a little history about the places so I really appreciate our tour guide Mr. Binh's effort to explain every place. Also including funny jokes on the side 😁 Food and drinks on board were also good, just note that drinks are bought separately. Don't worry though, as it's all fairly priced. All staff are also helpful and nice.

The full day tour was well planned and managed by the serenity team. Right from reaching out to us a day prior to help us with all the information required for the tour. Special shout-out to our guide Mr. Billy! who made it all happen within a days time without any of us having to feel rushed. Billy catered to the group's needs and ensured a continuous interaction informing about the history of Vietnam especially lan ha bay and cat ba islands. The cruise staff were polite and always ready to help with any specific needs(meal options etc). Would recommend choosing the lan ha bay tour with serenity cruises if you are not planning an overnight stay at Cat ba island.

Overall we were satisfy with the tour. Its just a little more troublesome to transfer from hanoi to cat ba island and then another bus ride.. tour guide was very good and attentive as well. totally recommend

Superb place with absolute calm and peace. if you are planning to experience the Halong bay, it is best to visit the sister islands of Halong which is Lan ha Bay and Catba islands. very less crowded and you can spend more time with nature

Fantastic trip to Cat Ba Islands / Lan Ha bay. Our guide Mr. Billy /Bing was truly wonderful and he explained the historical context, natural landscapes, life of the general population quite well! We did kayaking, swimming, cycling and had a pleasant time doing all the activities. All in all a wonderful day!

Billy, our tour guide, was incredibly accommodating. Since our tour fell on a holiday and the ferry lines were extremely long, he arranged for us to take the cable car at no extra cost—such a thoughtful touch! The Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island day tour is a peaceful, scenic alternative to Ha Long Bay—less crowded but equally stunning. Highlights include cruising, kayaking, and visiting floating villages. The tour was well-organized with great food and a knowledgeable guide. Overall, it was a memorable and worthwhile experience.
