Bai Tu Long Bay

Akkurat nå er vi fortsatt om bord på La Regina, hvis jeg kunne gitt 10 stjerner, ville jeg gjort det. Turen er PERFEKT for meg og mannen min. Peter er veldig imøtekommende, og alle behandler oss som kongelige. Peter sørger for at alle våre rimelige behov blir møtt. Jeg husker ikke navnene på alle ansatte, men til tross for synlig tretthet forsvinner aldri smilene fra ansiktene deres. Peter var virkelig sliten i går kveld, men han satte likevel alle gjestene først. Når det gjelder reiseplanen, var den akkurat passe, ikke for slitsom og ikke for kjedelig. Dette cruiset og denne pakken anbefales STERKT. Vi kommer garantert tilbake med familie og venner.

Vi tok signaturcruiset på Bai Tu Long Bay-ruten. På grunn av en uventet hendelse var det nesten en endring til Ha Long Bay-ruten, men Alice fra Klook gjorde en stor innsats, og resultatet ble en fantastisk tur som overgikk forventningene våre. Bai Tu Long Bay-ruten er veldig stille og rolig, og selv om båten ikke er ny, er den fin og godt vedlikeholdt, og alt føltes rent. Vi var de eneste japanske gjestene og var ikke så flinke i engelsk, men båtens manager var veldig snill og tok godt vare på oss, så vi følte oss aldri urolige. Min eldre mor likte også kanopadling, svømming og grotting. Takk til Alice og det fantastiske mannskapet! 💖 Anbefales!

This was my second visit to Ha Long Bay, and this time I chose a two-day, one-night itinerary. Watching the sunset from the boat and then the sunrise the next morning was beautiful. The meals on the boat were excellent; I'm worried I gained weight! The afternoon itinerary included a trip to Yen Tu Mountain, and I must say this was a very challenging journey, full of stairs that will definitely make your legs ache. However, the effort was worth it; the view from the mountaintop was stunning, and the weather was perfect, giving me a chance to take photos with a blue sky and white clouds. I think this trip was excellent.

Turen var fantastisk! Personalet, maten og overnattingen var flott. Det eneste vi angrer på er at vi ikke ble i 2 netter. Takk for en flott tur!

This cruise experience exceeded my expectations. From the incredible food and beautiful destinations to the fantastic service and genuinely friendly staff, it was an experience I will remember for a long time. Highly recommended—absolutely worth every penny spent! 🚢✨

Den generelle opplevelsen var avslappet, og personalet er ærlig talt imøtekommende med gode engelskkunnskaper. Jenny hjalp meg med alt jeg trengte, og det gjorde resten av personalet også. Bassenget var også bra, maten er god. Totalopplevelsen var 9/10, og selv om det var en torsdag, var det over 40 passasjerer om bord, så det ble ingen finere middagsopplevelse, men det var bra uansett.

10/10 opplevelse. Guiden min Duc var fantastisk. Alt var i rute, og han forklarte i detalj hva vi skulle gjøre. Det var flere alternativer for hvert stopp. Jeg fikk henge med andre alenereisende på turen, og det var en flott dag!

The Dolphin cruise offered an exceptional experience for exploring Halong Bay in Hanoi, and it comes highly recommended. Our journey commenced with a convenient pick-up from our hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter. Following an hour of travel, we took a brief restroom break before arriving at the Bay area. The reception was outstanding, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere, complete with a complimentary drink. We opted for the Indian set menu, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Our itinerary included visits to Surprise Cave, Luon Cave, and Ti Top Island, all expertly managed. Long, the cruise manager, provided excellent care throughout the trip, and Jack, our tour guide, demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm and assistance during the various outdoor activities. Upon our return, we were greeted with snacks, beverages, and a DJ pool party, culminating in a truly memorable day in Halong. We highly recommend the Dolphin cruise for an unparalleled Halong Bay experience.

Since my hotel didn't offer pickup, I decided to go to the Hanoi Opera House. It wasn't far from the hotel, so that was fine. The pickup vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. The bus wasn't a luxury one, but it was acceptable. Before reaching Ha Long Bay, we first stopped at a shop selling goods. There was no pressure to buy anything. I just bought a drink. The boat we boarded wasn't large, but it was quite impressive. The boat departed around 10:30 AM. A buffet lunch was served on board starting at 11:00 AM. The meal wasn't bad. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful marine park, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the boat. Many tour boats dotted the sea, which was also a spectacular sight. There's a basic option to visit a short sea cave by rowing boat, and also time to enjoy kayaking. Taking a speedboat is an optional extra for an additional fee. On the way back, there was a cooking class on board, but only locals participated. Overall, if you're not focused on enjoying the scenery, it could be a bit boring. However, it was a wonderful opportunity to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay. The sea was calm, so there was no seasickness. On the bus ride back to Hanoi, we stopped at another shop selling goods. Again, there was no pressure to buy. The shops were selling items that could also be bought in Hanoi, but at higher prices. These shops need to change. They should offer products that can entice tourists to open their wallets, at prices that are appropriate. That way, sales would likely increase. I bought another drink this time too. Our guide never pressured us. The guide was friendly and dedicated to their job. The price of a Ha Long Bay tour seems to vary depending on the luxury level of the transportation and the boat. The tour I experienced today felt like a mid-range option. However, I was satisfied with the tour because of the guide's kindness. I'd like to thank Allen, our guide, who was with us all day!^^
