Lucruri de făcut în 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.

Excursie de o zi minunată. O zi lungă din cauza timpului de călătorie dus-întors, dar a meritat. Ghid plăcut, transport excelent organizat și confortabil. Barca a fost grozavă, cu prânz, caiac, înot și un peisaj superb. Plimbarea cu mașinuța de golf pe insulă până la peșteră și muzeu a fost, de asemenea, foarte frumoasă. A fost plăcut că a fost la scară mică și nu mega-turistic.

Am avut o experiență minunată participând la această excursie. Ghidul turistic, domnul Hao (Happy), mi-a lăsat o impresie excelentă. La fel ca porecla sa, „Happy”, el a reușit cu adevărat să mențină buna dispoziție a tuturor, chiar dacă ploua în acea zi. A fost entuziast, energic, săritor, vesel, atent și s-a asigurat întotdeauna că toată lumea se simte bine. La început, am fost puțin dezamăgit de vreme. Ploua și speram să mă bucur de caiac sub soare. Cu toate acestea, s-a dovedit a fi una dintre cele mai bune amintiri ale mele – experiența de a face caiac pe ploaie a fost de neuitat. Domnul Happy ne reamintea mereu: „Distrați-vă, nu vă răniți” și a avut grijă constant de siguranța tuturor. De asemenea, ne-a verificat frecvent pe parcursul călătoriei pentru a se asigura că suntem bine. Mâncarea de pe croazieră a fost excelentă. În general, aș evalua această experiență cu 9/10. Mulțumesc, domnule Happy, pentru că ați făcut această călătorie atât de plăcută. Sper să ne revedem cândva!

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!^^

Excursie de o zi în Golful Ha Long, pe bună dreptate numit „Guilin pe mare”! 🌊 Dimineața am plecat din Hanoi, drumul a durat aproximativ 2,5 ore. Deși a fost puțin cam departe, totul a meritat când am văzut apa turcoaz și miile de insule de calcar. Am navigat cu barca printre insule, ca și cum am fi intrat într-un tablou chinezesc. La prânz am servit un prânz cu fructe de mare pe barcă, gustul a fost decent, dar a fost foarte plăcut să mănânci în bătaia brizei marine. Cea mai mare surpriză a fost plimbarea cu caiacul și explorarea peșterilor, apa era atât de limpede încât puteai vedea fundul. Pe Insula Paradisului am urcat peste 400 de trepte, iar de pe vârful muntelui, panorama Golfului Ha Long a fost cu adevărat uimitoare, lăsându-mă fără cuvinte. Excursia de o zi este într-adevăr cam scurtă, așa că, dacă aveți posibilitatea, vă recomand să stați o noapte. Dar ca experiență scurtă, raportul calitate-preț este excelent, o recomand! Ghidul Johnny a fost entuziast, atent și detaliat în serviciile sale, merită toate laudele.

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.

today was a great day in the lan ha bay when i chose the serenity cruise tour from my pickup spot in hanoi they made sure to take care of the rest, and the tourguide Ha-ha was thoroughly entertaining.

Permiteți-mi să încep cu o recenzie sinceră. În primul rând, este o croazieră economică. Nu puteți obține o experiență atât de plăcută și frumoasă. Ghidul nostru Victor este cel mai bun dintre toți. Nu veți găsi o persoană ca Victor. Cazare bună și activități, totul este de top. Cea mai bună experiență din viața mea. Mergeți, oameni buni!
