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)

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. #Paradise Suites Halong #USD65 Room & Meals

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. #Paradise Elegance Cruise #USD140/person

Situated in the north east of Vietnam is Ha long bay. It is a worthy UNESCO world heritage site and a beautiful demonstration of Vietnamese landscape. The bay is full of thousands of limestone karsts, with some islands featuring rainforests to wander! It is a great place to hike and dive too.

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? #experiencethebeautyofhalongbay #amazedbythenature

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.
