Cat Ba National Park-kryssningar

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.

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.

Härlig dagsutflykt. Lång dag på grund av restiden dit och tillbaka, men det var det värt. Trevlig guide, transporten var välordnad och bekväm. Båten var toppen med lunch, kajakpaddling, simning och en vacker omgivning. Att åka golfbil över ön till grottan och museet var också väldigt roligt. Skönt att det var småskaligt och inte megaturistigt.

great leader with Hai. good communication. good itinerary. great hotel in cat ba. ship was a little dated and needed some love. but great value for money

Bästa kryssningen! Överträffade faktiskt mina förväntningar. Rummet och maten var mycket lyxiga. Tacksam att jag valde denna kryssning för min familjeresa. Och reseguiderna var roliga (Jack och Jennie). Hela resplanen var fantastisk, ingen stress, och det bästa var att La Han Bay inte var lika trångt som Ha Long Bay.

Ha long bay is very nice, staying overnight at boat is a bit boring, not much activity after dinner. Transportation from halong bay to Cat Ba island and back to Hanoi is quite well organised and smooth. The cat ba island trip is not bad, we got a private tour to the cave and national Park. Mr Kia are knowledgeable and his driver are very friendly and approachable.

Jag hade en fantastisk upplevelse på den här resan. Reseledaren, Mr. Hao (Happy), gjorde verkligen ett stort intryck på mig. Precis som hans smeknamn, "Happy", höll han verkligen allas humör uppe, trots att det regnade den dagen. Han var entusiastisk, energisk, hjälpsam, glad, uppmärksam och såg alltid till att alla hade det bra. Först var jag lite besviken på vädret. Det regnade, och jag hade hoppats kunna paddla kajak i solsken. Men det visade sig bli ett av mina bästa minnen – upplevelsen av att paddla kajak i regnet var oförglömlig. Mr. Happy påminde oss alltid: "Ha kul, skada er inte", och han var ständigt mån om allas säkerhet. Han kollade också ofta till oss under hela resan för att se till att vi mådde bra. Maten på kryssningen var också utmärkt. Sammantaget skulle jag ge den här upplevelsen 9/10. Tack, Mr. Happy, för att du gjorde den här resan så trevlig. Jag hoppas att vi ses igen någon dag!

For those of you who are considering a Lan Ha Bay tour, I'd like to share some helpful information! Our itinerary was: hotel pickup -> transfer to the pier -> cruise boarding -> kayaking/swimming -> lunch -> visit to Viet Hai village (doctor fish) -> return to the pier -> hotel drop-off. (Once you board the cruise, an English-speaking guide will explain the itinerary.) For those staying on Cat Ba Island, this is a great way to spend a productive half-day at a low cost. 1) Most of the guests are Vietnamese, but the English-speaking guide makes sure that no one feels left out. 2) Compared to other cruises, the quality is very good, and there's less boat vibration, making it more comfortable. 3) Lunch is buffet-style, and the quality is surprisingly good. 4) There's absolutely no pressure for tips or shopping, so you can just relax and enjoy your day~ Here are a few tips, haha: - It's not primarily for water activities, and the water isn't clear, so snorkeling is practically impossible. It's more for just getting in the water, haha. - Since it's mostly Vietnamese guests, it might feel a bit unfamiliar (frequent smoking on deck, chaotic meal times lol). - It's a different experience from tours arranged by Koreans, which are usually well-developed for tourism, but it's still a decent way to spend a day!
