Romantic Trip of a lifetime..
Halong Bay is best appreciated by cruise - either day trip or staying overnite on board. The trip started with a small boat transfer to the cruise boat. Greeted by friendly staff, the trip started with a cool towel, a welcome drink and a briefing. Then enjoyed the view of the karst limestone from your room or the upper deck. After a seafood lunch - kayaking in the bay area allows us to be closer to nature. Watching the sun set from the upper deck and a good dinner ends a great day in Halong Bay. Which cruise to choose? Depending on your needs, budget and time. Mine - Small cruise (large cruise can be noisy) ala carte meal ( managing what we can or can not eat) and room with Balcony and Jacuzi (perfect for our anniversary)
Ha long bay caves.
At Ha Long Bay, it is home of many spectacular caves with unique geology, aesthetics, and archaeology values. Although the trek into the cave is tiring due to the stairs and humidity, but once you are in, you will be truly amazed by the natural structure of the caves various stalactites and stalagmites hanging from the ceiling.

Great Valued 8-course Dining Experience @ Halong Restaurant
visited this Ha Long restaurant for dinner when I stayed one night in the Paradise Suites. We booked a dine & Stay package which offered a 6-course set dinner. The restaurant offered a cozy space and we got seated in a nice and quiet table. Inspired by Halong Bay itself, the restaurant's world cuisine masters bring the typical traditional experience with a variety of Asian and European cuisine. We ordered our wine and after a few minutes the starters were served. They included Banana blossom and chicken salad, Steamed prawn with lemongrass and Grilled oyster with pineapple. They’re all very appetising and we particularly liked the oysters as it’s very special to have a touch of sweetness when tasting the oysters, a good match. Then came the mains, Wok-fried beef with black peppercorn sauce, Stewed fish in clay pot and Steamed vegetables, shrimp pork confit. The stewed fish was our favourite as the herbs like lemongrass, star anise, black pepper…..just making this dish flavoursome. There’s also a Sour pork rib broth served too. Just so much food that we couldn’t finish it all. Finally came the light cheesecake for the dessert. We enjoyed our dinner there as the ambience was very relaxing and the staffs were very friendly and attentive.
Recommend booking directly with the hotel to grasp the low price and nice dining experience.

Halong Bay Cruise, a must do in Vietnam
Halong Bay is one of Vietnam’s most famous destinations that you can’t miss. The best way to experience it’s beauty is to join a overnight cruise. There are heaps of Halong Bay cruises that suit your needs. After reading and comparing, my partner and I boarded a 2-day-1-night classic wooden luxury boat for a memorable experience. It took us to scenic locations around the bay during the overnight cruise. We also go kayaking during the day, and partake in a cooking demonstration in the evening. The next morning, we also explored Sung Sot Cave in a guided tour. So there’re really good activities arranged in this cruise. Besides activities, meals were also included. For breakfast and lunch, it’s buffet style while dinner was a set menu. The food was good especially the dinner, we both enjoyed it.
For our accommodation, we were upgraded to an elegant suite with balcony, so we’re very pleased. It’s a corner room with a bathtub, really nice to soak in the bath with a wine, enjoying the view.
It’s not the most modern or luxurious cruise, but overall we’re happy with the programme, the food and services of this cruise. It’s a nice experience. This cruise is operated together with a hotel group, so if you’d like to stay one night in Halong before boarding on the cruise, I suggest you make a booking directly with them as you’ll get a much better deal.

Experience Nature via Ha Long Bay Cruise
Being amazed by the beautiful landscape of nature in Vietnam? Ha Long Bay will never disappoint you.
There are various ways of getting in touch with its nature, namely, sight viewing along the bay, riding a cable car in Sun World, going to the top floor of your hotel or walk along the bay. Any of this did not give me disappointment.
Above are all true as I experienced it myself. In my case, I wanted to experience riding on a cruise with a package of going through the #cave@HaLongBay and having a ride of a #kayak. I really enjoyed the Cruise in courtesy #habinh68 Cruise Vessel. The food served too in the vessel is delicious and nutritious.
Please come and visit Ha Long, Vietnam. What are you waiting for?

Amazing Ha Long Bay
Took a 2 day 1 night trip to Ha Long Bay. Followed a local tour group and transportation was provided. The scenery was amazing, surprise cave was so pretty, the climb up the hill was strenuous but the view was so beautiful. Everyone has to visit once in their life time, you will not regret it. Staying a night there would be less hectic as 1 way journey is 3 hours long.
Ha Long Bay
2 hours driving from Hanoi City is really worthy. The scenery there is very spectacular and good for self-healing. You need to book the cruise package to go round the UNESCO site. Please keep in mind to negotiate the price prior booking. You can have your lunch on the cruise. some of the cruise offered Seafood only so it is Muslim-friendly. we also can see some of the fishermen are selling the seafood from one boat to another. Depending on the package that you taken, they will brought you to the cave. In the cave, the view is stunning. Very recommended place to go once you reached Hanoi. #hanoi #halongbay #mytripvlog #2023travelwish #deliciousfood #awesomepic

The Beautiful Islets in Ha long Bay!
#celebratewithtrip
Ha Long Bay in Northeast Vietnam. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that covers some 150,000 hectares. It is located on the Gulf of Tonkin in the north eastern province of Quang Ninh. It is known for its emerald waters and The most amazing thing about the bay is the islets that rise up out of the water. If you are going to Ha long bay there are some options to choose. Visitors to Ha Long Bay can opt for a packaged cruise, including transport to and from Hanoi. Independent travellers can take a bus to Ha Long City or Hai Phong and a taxi to the port. When I went there I chose the packaged cruise. The Halong Bay entrance fee is US$13 per person for a day cruise and US$25 for an overnight cruise. This is generally included in your ticket, though it's worth double-checking for the cheapest cruises. Activities like kayaking and island bike rides may cost you extra. This is absolutely beautiful. If possible you can try to do overnight to see the sunrise and sunset.

#bucketlistreboot
Halong Bay as known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous because its stunning limestone mountains raising up from emerald waters that formed from thousand years ago. You also can have a chance to explore amazing caves as well as the culture of Ha Long.
There are plenty of activities to do at Ha Long. One of it is to take a cruise through this amazing limestone mountains and explore its cave system. In Ha Long bay, there is even a beach with its calm waves, definitely suitable for kayaking as well.
I highly recommend to take an overnight cruise so that you have more time to do all these activities.

Surprise....Surprise....What a view....
Site : Hang Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave

Hang Sung Sot literally means Surprise Cave.
It was named that way as the French who founded that cave was surprised to see it's beauty. Hang Sung Sot iz located in the Middle of Halong Bay which is known as UNESCO World Heritage Site. You need to climb a few hundred steps to reach the area. The queue to enter this cave is super long....If you bring kids be prepared for a few melt downs...hahaha I've seen adults melt down too just like the kids...temper tantrums and all hahahaha Anyway bring snacks along...drinks too to keep you distracted....

Renowned as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, we were ecstatic to finally be visiting the beautiful Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. Though we didn’t get to see the full extent of it’s beauty with blue skies and waters (we visited in December), it still made for a fascinating trip at this popular travel location.
The bay features 1,600 limestone karst hills and isles, formed by the warm and wet tropical climate, that come in a range of different shapes and sizes. It was a spectacular sight as we travelled through these formations – most of which are uninhabited and unaffected by civilisation.

Michaela (@uncoveringcities) Staying overnight on a junk boat is the best way to see Ha Long Bay, where they take you to all the different areas of the bay, and walk through cool bat caves as well!
what a wonderful trip to Halong Bay. We took a day trip and it was way worth it. The views and the kayak were amazing. Although It could be better if the weather was sunny but anyways it was great.

Hạ Long Bay, in northeast Vietnam, is known for its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone islands topped by rainforests. Junk boat tours and sea kayak expeditions take visitors past islands named for their shapes, including Stone Dog and Teapot islets. The region is popular for scuba diving, rock climbing and hiking, particularly in mountainous Cát Bà National Park.# happy new year 2020 of all the Trip.com members 🇻🇳🧗♂️🚵♂️🚣♂️⛵️🏔✈️
