Lan Ha Bay சுற்றுலாக்கள்

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.

Wonderful day trip. It was a long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. We had a great guide, and the transportation was well-organized and comfortable. The boat was excellent, with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also a lot of fun. It was nice that it was small-scale and not overly touristy.

இந்த பயணத்தில் இணைந்தது எனக்கு ஒரு சிறந்த அனுபவமாக இருந்தது. சுற்றுலா வழிகாட்டி, திரு. ஹாவ் (ஹேப்பி), என் மனதில் ஒரு சிறந்த தாக்கத்தை ஏற்படுத்தினார். அவரது புனைப்பெயர் “ஹேப்பி” போலவே, அன்று மழை பெய்தாலும், அவர் அனைவரின் உற்சாகத்தையும் உண்மையிலேயே தக்கவைத்துக் கொண்டார். அவர் உற்சாகமானவர், சுறுசுறுப்பானவர், உதவிகரமானவர், மகிழ்ச்சியானவர், கவனமுள்ளவர், மேலும் அனைவரும் நல்ல நேரம் அனுபவிப்பதை எப்போதும் உறுதி செய்தார். முதலில், வானிலை குறித்து நான் சற்று ஏமாற்றமடைந்தேன். மழை பெய்து கொண்டிருந்தது, நான் சூரிய ஒளியின் கீழ் கயாக்கிங் செய்ய விரும்பினேன். இருப்பினும், அது எனது சிறந்த நினைவுகளில் ஒன்றாக மாறியது - மழையில் கயாக்கிங் செய்த அனுபவம் மறக்க முடியாதது. திரு. ஹேப்பி எப்போதும் எங்களுக்கு, “மகிழ்ச்சியாக இருங்கள், காயமடைய வேண்டாம்” என்று நினைவூட்டிக் கொண்டிருந்தார், மேலும் அவர் அனைவரின் பாதுகாப்பிலும் தொடர்ந்து கவனம் செலுத்தினார். நாங்கள் நன்றாக இருக்கிறோமா என்பதை உறுதிப்படுத்த பயணத்தின் முழுவதும் அவர் எங்களை அடிக்கடி விசாரித்தார். கப்பலில் உணவு அருமையாக இருந்தது. மொத்தத்தில், இந்த அனுபவத்திற்கு நான் 10-க்கு 9 மதிப்பெண் கொடுப்பேன். இந்த பயணத்தை இவ்வளவு மகிழ்ச்சிகரமானதாக மாற்றியதற்கு திரு. ஹேப்பிக்கு நன்றி. ஒரு நாள் உங்களை மீண்டும் சந்திப்பேன் என்று நம்புகிறேன்!

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!^^

A day trip to Ha Long Bay truly lives up to its reputation as "Guilin on the Sea"! 🌊 We departed from Hanoi in the morning, and the drive was about 2.5 hours. Although it was a bit far, seeing the emerald green water and thousands of limestone islands made it all worthwhile. Cruising among the islands felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. For lunch, we enjoyed a seafood meal on the boat; the food was decent, but dining with the sea breeze was incredibly pleasant. The biggest highlights were kayaking and exploring the caves, where the water was so clear you could see the bottom. We climbed over 400 steps on Ti Top Island, and the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from the summit was truly breathtaking. The day trip was indeed a bit rushed, so if possible, I'd recommend staying overnight. However, for a short experience, it offers great value for money, and I highly recommend it! Our guide, Johnny, was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous in his service – highly commendable.

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.

ஒரு நேர்மையான விமர்சனத்துடன் நான் தொடங்குகிறேன். முதலாவதாக, இது ஒரு பட்ஜெட்டுக்கு ஏற்ற கப்பல் பயணம். இவ்வளவு இனிமையான மற்றும் அழகான அனுபவத்தை பெற முடியாது. எங்கள் வழிகாட்டி விக்டர் அனைவரிலும் சிறந்தவர். விக்டரைப் போன்ற ஒருவரை நீங்கள் பெற முடியாது. நல்ல தங்குமிடம் மற்றும் செயல்பாடுகள் அனைத்தும் மிகச் சிறந்தவை. என் வாழ்க்கையின் சிறந்த அனுபவம். நண்பர்களே, இதைத் தேர்ந்தெடுங்கள்.
