This trip started with my wife's words: Let's go to Vietnam for New Year's! We had a really fun trip to Halong Bay! We managed to overcome the language barrier, which worried me, but when we arrived at the kayaking area, I got a little lost because the guide went ahead without explaining anything. I didn't have my ticket at the ticket handover area, so the ticket attendant at the gate told me to leave someone else behind to get my ticket, so I hurried over to get it from the guide. After receiving it, we were able to go kayaking around Halong Bay without any problems! Personally, I'd love to kayak again! 🤤 Thank you!
It was a shame that the weather was cloudy, but overall I was very satisfied. The room was spacious, the shower water was warm, and there was no rocking of the ship at night, so it was easy to sleep. The food was delicious and plentiful, incorporating Vietnamese cuisine. The activities were also very good. The staff were also very helpful. I'm glad I chose this overnight course instead of a day trip. If I had to say something, it would have been nice to have hangers to hang my clothes on.
This time, I chose the Sol Special. It was so relaxing that I fell asleep during the treatment. The stone massage was especially good. After the massage, I wanted to take a shower before my late-night flight back, so I told them and they allowed me to use the shower. A tip is required separately, so if you're going at the end of your trip, it's a good idea to save some cash for that.👍
I went to Ha Long Bay during the Christmas holidays. Many other tour groups were also going there that day, so there was a slow queue to go up the mountain and into the caves. The process was slow but not chaotic. The cave area was quite large, allowing for leisurely exploration. The toilets on the boat were clean.
