Coisas para fazer em Lan Ha Bay

Thank you, serenity for providing us with a beautiful cruise and a great way to end our vacation in Vietnam. Our tour guide Tuna was especially helpful and easy to talk to since he spoke English. He is patient with the non English speakers and answered all our questions. We got to learn a little more about the beautiful country. We had a great time and was able to make new friends because of him.

Lovely day trip. A long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. Nice guide, transport well-arranged and comfortable. The boat was great with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also very enjoyable. It was pleasant that it was small-scale and not mega-touristy.

I had a great experience joining this trip. The tour guide, Mr. Hao (Happy), really left a great impression on me. Just like his nickname, “Happy,” he truly kept everyone’s spirits up, even though it was raining that day. He was enthusiastic, energetic, helpful, cheerful, attentive, and always made sure everyone was having a good time. At first, I was a little disappointed with the weather. It was raining, and I had hoped to enjoy kayaking under the sunshine. However, it turned out to be one of my best memories—the experience of kayaking in the rain was unforgettable. Mr. Happy was always reminding us, “Have fun, don’t get hurt,” and he constantly looked out for everyone’s safety. He also frequently checked on us throughout the trip to make sure we were doing well. The food on the cruise was great as well. Overall, I would rate this experience 9/10. Thank you, Mr. Happy, for making this trip so enjoyable. I hope to see you again someday!

My hotel didn't offer pickup, so we decided to meet in front of the Opera House. It wasn't far from the hotel to the Opera House, so that was fine. The pickup vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. The bus wasn't a luxury bus, but it was acceptable. Before arriving at 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 splendid. The boat departed around 10:30 AM. A buffet-style meal was served on board starting at 11:00 AM. The food wasn't bad. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful marine park, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the boat. Many company boats dotted the sea, which was also a magnificent 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 a paid option. On the way back, a cooking class was held on board, but only locals participated. Overall, if you're not focused on enjoying the scenery, it could be a boring time. However, it was a time 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 also stopped at a shop selling goods. Again, there was no pressure to buy. The shops had items that could also be bought in Hanoi, selling them at high prices. The shops need to change. They need to offer products that can open tourists' wallets and prices that match. That way, sales will likely increase. I bought another drink this time. The guide never pressured us. The guide was kind and dedicated to their work. The price of the 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-level one. 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!

Halong Bay day trip, truly worthy of its title as the "Guilin on the Sea"! 🌊 Departing from Hanoi in the morning, the journey takes about 2.5 hours. Although it's a bit far, seeing the emerald green waters and thousands of limestone islands makes it all worthwhile. Cruising through the archipelago feels like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. For lunch, we had seafood on the boat, which was decent, but dining with the sea breeze was very pleasant. The biggest surprises were kayaking and exploring the caves; the water was so clear you could see the bottom. Climbing over 400 steps on Ti Top Island to overlook the panoramic view of Halong Bay from the summit was truly breathtaking. The day trip is indeed a bit rushed, so I recommend staying overnight if possible. However, as a short experience, it offers great value for money and is highly recommended! Our guide, Johnny, provided warm, thoughtful, and meticulous service, which I greatly appreciate.

Hôm nay là một ngày tuyệt vời ở vịnh Lan Hạ khi tôi chọn tour du thuyền Serenity từ điểm đón ở Hà Nội. Họ đã đảm bảo lo liệu mọi thứ còn lại, và hướng dẫn viên Ha-ha rất thú vị.

While there are day cruises for Ha Long Bay, if you have the time, I highly recommend experiencing an overnight stay. The sunrise and sunset are truly worth seeing. I was worried about the transfer from Hanoi since it was my first time, but the guide Mr. Lee arranged everything precisely, and once I was picked up, I felt completely at ease! After boarding the ship, doing the canoeing activity makes the experience even more enjoyable. 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 fellow participants, I never felt lonely and laughed a lot. All the meals were delicious, and the room was fantastic! The atmosphere was also great for those who just want to relax. It was a fascinating experience to see people from so many different countries and backgrounds participating. Blessed with great weather, it turned out to be a truly wonderful cruise.

Let me begin with an honest review. Firstly, it's a budget-friendly cruise. You can't get such a pleasant and beautiful experience elsewhere. Our guide, Victor, is the best of all. You won't find anyone like Victor. Good accommodation and activities, everything is top-notch. Best experience of my life. Guys, go for it!

Tom y Víctor son muy buenos guías, siempre atentos y amables con todos nosotros, el crucero fue increíble, la comida de primera y la vista muy tranquila y hermosa; el itinerario se cumple al pie de la letra.
