Prémiová denná plavba Hercules: zátoka Ha Long so Sung Sot a Ti Top

Bola to dobrá skúsenosť na plavbe Hercules. Boli sme skupina 3 kamarátok (všetky dievčatá), nastúpili sme do limuzínového autobusu a trvalo nám asi 2 a pol hodiny, kým sme sa dostali na palubu. Sprievodca Tình bol dosť informatívny. Na palube nás privítali nápojom a uterákom. Krátko nato sme mali obed, ktorý ponúkal veľa vegetariánskych/nevegetariánskych jedál. Navštívili sme perlovú farmu, jaskyňu Sung Sot (bola majestátna, hoci mala asi 700 schodov), ostrov Ti Top (plný ľudí, nešli sme tam), jazdu bambusovou loďou (zadarmo) a potom sme dostali občerstvenie a nápoje, kým sa to skončilo. Vrátili sme sa relaxovať na palube lode. Celkovo to bola dobrá skúsenosť, myslím, že väčšina plavieb vám ponúkne rovnaké vybavenie. Pamätajte, že sú veľmi prísni na dodržiavanie časov. Nebudú váhať vás nechať, ak prídete neskoro.

Po prečítaní recenzií sme si 30. apríla zarezervovali plavbu Hercules Premium Day Cruise pre dvoch, pričom sme sa rozhodli pre limuzínový autobus s vyzdvihnutím zo štvrte Hanoi Old Quarter. Prevádzkovateľ nás kontaktoval deň vopred s jasnými podrobnosťami. Náš sprievodca, Austin, bol presný a zaviedol nás na blízke miesto vyzdvihnutia. Limuzínový autobus bol pohodlný s dostatkom miesta na nohy, hoci premávka predĺžila cestu na takmer päť hodín namiesto troch. Na plavbu sme dorazili okolo 13:30 a mali sme obed formou bufetu s rýchlym dopĺňaním, hoci nápoje boli spoplatnené. Itinerár zahŕňal jaskyňu Sung Sot, Hang Luon a ostrov Ti Top. V Hang Luon boli k dispozícii voliteľné jazdy rýchloloďou, zatiaľ čo jazda na bambusovom člne a kajaku boli zahrnuté v cene. Počas spiatočnej cesty bola podávaná čajová prestávka a do Hanoja sme dorazili načas. Celkovo bol výlet dobre zorganizovaný a bezproblémový. Austin bol pozorný a veľmi sa snažil vysvetliť pamiatky. Túto skúsenosť by som odporučil pre pohodlný jednodňový výlet do zátoky Halong.

We were upgraded to their new Diamond Era cruise. Communication was excellent,with full itinerary sent the day before. The limousine transfer was business class standard, with comfortable seats & complimentary bottled water for every passenger. Although we were running late, our tour guide, Vincent, waited patiently for us. He was professional, humble, friendly & knowledgeable. His explanations throughout the day were clear & informative, & he made sure everyone knew what to expect. The cruise itself was of a very high standard, spotlessly clean, modern & well maintained. Lunch was good, with plenty of options for both vegetarians and non vegetarians. Drinks were reasonably priced,& the cruise staff were polite, attentive & worked hard throughout the day. This one day Ha Long Bay cruise is a must. It is a long and tiring day, but it is well worth it. Doing it with this team made the experience even better. Thank you to Vincent & the whole team for making our trip an enjoyable one.

這次經歷一次非常完滿的海上之遊, 導遊Thnh非常窩心及行程編排很細心, 特別推介選擇這艘郵船, 非常時尚及乾淨, 自助午餐食物也美味, 雖然日落下午茶簡單但感覺誠意, 攀上英雄島頂峰觀景台俯瞰海灣景色很壯觀, 穿梭岩洞內觀看鬼斧神工的大自然創造, 讚嘆做物主的偉大, 最後泛舟穿越大山下的神祕洞別有洞天, 回程在遊船甲板上觀看日落黃昏美景, 為這旅程畫上了完美的句點。

Из-за шторма наш тур был перенесен на несколько дней. Сам тур прошел замечательно. Дети остались в полном восторге и хотели поехать туда снова. Также нам понравился наш гид Tinh. Отдельное спасибо ему за сделанные красивые фотографии всей нашей семьи.

What a day! We enjoyed our trip to Ha Long Bay so much. The itinerary was jam packed and it moved quickly and ran smoothly. I particularly enjoyed the kayaking. It would be nice to have a bit more time at Ti Top to climb the steps and enjoy a swim, but in a one-day tour it is hard to do it all. Bring your own large reusable water bottle filled up! It can get very hot and you may end up needing to purchase many small cans of water, which seems counter to banning single use plastics. We enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and taking in the beautiful scenery. It really doesn’t disappoint. it was a wonderful break from the city. the bus has chargers, which is a bonus. It is also very comfortable.

This is one of the highlight of our tour in hanoi part. we enjoyed cruising hercules premium. mostly food are seafood. clean amenities especially the jacuzzi and cr on board. Brian, our tourguide is very accomodating and fun to be with.

最高の体験ができました。豪華客船に乗って、食事しながらハロン湾巡り。ティートップ島からの眺めも最高でした。洞窟では、ガイドさんの細かな説明で充分堪能できました。バンブーで作った手漕ぎボートでは、思いがけない珍客（猿）に遭遇することができ、楽しい思い出になりました。長時間ツアーでしたが、大満足！オススメします！

Great experience for us first-timers in Hanoi! We chose Hercules because of the reviews that it's one of the most modern ships, and it's true. The boat is very clean with cool air conditioning. The itinerary has good pacing: Ti Top around 1pm (nice but hot), then Sung Sot Cave around 2:30, then Hang Luon at 4pm when the sunlight is soft. Those with health issues can skip Sung Sot Cave - even we young ones were tired after, with the 150 steps going up and the 30-45 minute walk. But it's worthwhile! Shoutout to our amazing guide Jackie (Jackie Chan)! He made the long walk very fun with explanations about the cave. Bring cash because they sell drinks near the cave exit and you will be very tired. Great experience overall, and if we do this again we will still choose Hercules because of the new-looking boat, great staff, and our very energetic guide Jackie who took great care of everyone :D

If you're going to Ha Long Bay, do it with Hercules! From Hanoi to Haiphong, the experience was engaging and insightful. Under our tour guide Henry's care, we were able to maximize the tour in just one day. Ha Long Bay is breathtakingly beautiful, and our guides made the executive decision to adjust the itinerary accordingly so that we may maximize the tour efficiently. On the way and all throughout the tour, Henry gave us a little bit of history and background of Vietnam, which was very cool to learn as a visitor. Our crew also never got lost, because instructions were clear: always follow Santa! Plus we were able to take really good photos thanks to him. Food was good, and the cruise ship is clean and well-maintained. We also suggest doing the speed boat, even if it has additional cost. Do note that if you are visiting, best to bring your own water in a metal container. Plastic bottles are not allowed, so that Vietnam can maintain the beauty of Ha Long Bay.
