    We had a fantastic day trip from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay. With a stop at the Pearl Museum, we arrived at the harbor after about a 2.5-hour bus ride. Our tour guide, Phong, made the trip very entertaining. We had lunch on the boat and then went on our first excursions. The scenery is absolutely stunning and breathtaking. Highly recommended! The tour was extremely well organized.

  • Adventure at Ha long Bay

    I love this wonderful experience so much. We went on this tour with our hotel guide. In the morning bus came to our hotel. It took one hour to reach Ha Long Bay. There were 20 people with our guide. Our first stop was to see a pearl and jewelry shop. They showed us how they take pearls from shells. After watching it, we went straight to our cruise. They also give us a five-star buffet with a tasty Vietnamese buffet. Everything was so beautiful. They showed us all the caves. The caves were very huge and wonderful. They almost look like an ice age cave. I was so amazed by how these caves and rocks were hidden under the ocean millions of years ago. They also took us in bamboo kayaking. Then in the evening we had a party on our cruise. This experience is so wonderful. You will definitely enjoy it.
