Cua Van Floating Village

Mal som skvelý zážitok z tohto výletu. Sprievodca, pán Hao (Happy), na mňa naozaj urobil skvelý dojem. Presne ako jeho prezývka „Happy“, skutočne udržiaval náladu všetkých, aj keď v ten deň pršalo. Bol nadšený, energický, ochotný, veselý, pozorný a vždy sa uistil, že sa všetci dobre bavia. Spočiatku som bol trochu sklamaný z počasia. Pršalo a dúfal som, že si užijem jazdu na kajaku pod slnkom. Avšak, ukázalo sa, že to bola jedna z mojich najlepších spomienok – zážitok z jazdy na kajaku v daždi bol nezabudnuteľný. Pán Happy nám vždy pripomínal: „Bavte sa, neublížte si,“ a neustále dbal na bezpečnosť všetkých. Počas celého výletu nás tiež často kontroloval, aby sa uistil, že sme v poriadku. Jedlo na plavbe bolo tiež skvelé. Celkovo by som tento zážitok ohodnotil 9/10. Ďakujem, pán Happy, že ste tento výlet urobili takým príjemným. Dúfam, že sa s vami jedného dňa opäť stretnem!

Today we booked the Lan Ha Bay tour from Hanoi, and our guide was Binh. First, they texted us to remind us that they were going to give us two options because one of their boats was broken, and they gave us the choice to either cancel and be refunded or continue the trip on another boat. The other boat that they provided was really nice, as shown here in the photos. And Binh, our guide, was so much fun. He was very funny, he was very knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam, and especially in Cat Ba, and he ensured that we were safe and we enjoyed ourselves. We also had a good time in the itinerary. This is highly recommended. We are so glad that we chose Lan Ha Bay instead of Halong Bay because it was really peaceful and there were not much other tours and ships present. The whole team of Serenity even took note of small details such as placing a fan in front of us when we were feeling a little bit warm and Binh kindly offered to take pictures of us using his camera!

Pre tých z vás, ktorí zvažujú prehliadku Lan Ha Bay, som sa rozhodol napísať niečo, čo by vám mohlo pomôcť! -. Náš itinerár bol nasledovný: vyzdvihnutie autom z ubytovania -> presun na mólo -> nalodenie na plavbu -> kajakovanie/vodné aktivity -> obed -> návšteva dediny Viet Hai (rybia pedikúra) -> návrat na mólo -> odvoz do ubytovania. (Po nalodení na plavbu vás bude sprevádzať anglicky hovoriaci sprievodca.) Pre tých, ktorí bývajú na ostrove Cat Ba, je to skvelý spôsob, ako stráviť pol dňa za nízku cenu. 1) Väčšina cestujúcich sú Vietnamci, ale anglicky hovoriaci sprievodca sa o vás dobre postará, aby ste sa necítili vynechaní. 2) V porovnaní s inými plavbami je kvalita veľmi dobrá a vibrácie lode sú menšie, takže je to príjemnejšie. 3) Obed je formou bufetu a kvalita je prekvapivo dobrá. 4) Nie sú tu žiadne nátlaky na prepitné ani na nákupy, takže si môžete užiť deň v pohode~ Niekoľko tipov... hehehe - Nie je to primárne o vodných aktivitách a voda nie je dostatočne čistá na šnorchlovanie. Je to skôr o tom, že si namočíte telo do vody, hehe. - Keďže je to zamerané hlavne na Vietnamcov, môže to byť trochu nezvyčajné. (Časté fajčenie na palube, neporiadok počas jedla, lol) - Je to iný pocit ako zájazdy organizované Kórejcami, kde je cestovný ruch dobre rozvinutý, ale na strávenie dňa je to v poriadku!

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.

The overall experience was wonderful. The biggest highlight of this boat is that there are very few guests, with only 4 cabins, making the entire trip very quiet and relaxing, completely free from the hustle and bustle of large tour boats. It is very suitable for people who want to unwind. Special praise goes to our tour guide, Thai, who was extremely friendly and responsible, and took great care of us. As for the dining, because there are few guests, the variety of dishes may not be as extensive as on large boats, but they made up for it with high quality and great taste; you could tell the ingredients were very fresh. If you are looking for a private and quiet trip to Lan Ha Bay, this is a great choice.

Overall, it was great! For someone with no prior cruise experience, both the sense of occasion and the relaxed vibe score a full ten out of ten. The meals and service were both quite good! Don't focus too much on the included excursion activities like kayaking and exploring the caves; unless you are a huge fan, you might find them a bit boring. Fully enjoy your time on the ship—all the facilities and services make you feel like you are getting more than your money's worth! From dusk to night, and into the early morning, the changing times of day always bring uniquely wonderful views! The pick-up and drop-off were smooth, the service was enthusiastic, and it truly felt like a home away from home! Halong Bay, a wonderful journey! Completely captivated and reminiscing...

The hotel pickup and drop-off service was very convenient, and the scenery of Lan Ha Bay was amazing. It was great to have some simple fruit provided after kayaking and swimming.

Fantastický zážitok z plavby v zátoke Lan Ha! Loď bola čistá, pohodlná a služby boli vynikajúce. Návšteva jaskyne Dark & Bright na kajaku bola pokojná a relaxačná. V porovnaní s hlavnou trasou zátoky Ha Long pôsobí zátoka Lan Ha oveľa tichšie a menej preplnene. Ak uprednostňujete uvoľnenejšiu atmosféru a chcete si užiť prírodu bez davov, toto je určite ideálna voľba. Vrelo odporúčame!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Total of 26 people on the tour. I was the only Korean person. It was a 3-story, high-end cruise ship with a small pool inside, and simple food was provided. You could see several islands, and the sunset was beautiful. We had a short time to enjoy swimming and canoeing. We also visited a local village, and it was a great value-for-money tour. One minor disappointment was that the canoe experience was advertised as included in the tour price, but there was an additional charge (150,000-200,000 VND).
