Difficult to grade, as the tour company were fantastic, however Halong Bay itself did not live up to expectations.
After arriving, we went out for about an hour, had lunch, and then boarded the boat tender to pick up kayaks and paddle around the bays for an hour.
Back on the boat, enjoying cocktails while watching the sunset.
That night, we enjoyed a delicious feast of oysters, red snapper, crab, and several meat dishes. Vegetarians in our group were likewise well provided for.
It was a great excursion to Ha Long Bay. From the hotel. Pick up and drop off. The cruise experience was enjoyable, and the lunch buffet offered both vegetarian and non-vegetarian alternatives. We spent approximately 9-10 hours with a good view. The tour company arranged everything.
Overall, the hospitality was excellent, as was the itinerary. The food menu was restricted, but the taste was incredible. The only thing missing was a disc or casino, which would have made it even more wonderful.
This was excellent. I really enjoyed it. Great ship. Excellent staff. Great tour. The cuisine was fantastic. The entertainment was also quite terrific and pleasant. But, of course, Halong Bay is the highlight of the performance.
