Great day out to Ha Long Bay - long day but worth the effort - Full-Day Halong Bay Cruise with Swimming & Kayak Tour: the weather in Hanoi was a little chilly for the swimming!! We were picked up early on a lovely executive coach with seats on a par with an airlines business class – very comfortable! We did pick up guests from a few locations along the way but were soon on our way. There was a stop enroute to visit a Pearl farm, with the visit to the shop of course. Once we arrived at the marina our guide gathered the group while he went to collect the cruise tickets then we were taken down the pier to our boat. To be noted the boats dock against quite rough steep steps and this could be an issue for anyone with mobility problems. Once onboard Our guide allocated all of us within his group a designated table. Once we set sail and extensive buffet lunch was available – this was a little chaotic with some of the local people onboard, but the food was good and there was a great selection. During the day we got to visit caves, stopped for a ride on either a bamboo boat or Kayak (included) and were given the option to take a speedboat ride for an additional charge (300VND/Approx £8) final stop was a visit to a beach with the opportunity to climb to a view point – some of our group did this but found it to be very busy and crowded at the top which spoiled the experience a little. We then boarded the boat to sail back to the marina whilst watching the sunset over Ha Long Bay, before the journey back to the city (comfort break was included along the way)

Great value and amazing sites - Ha Long Bay was recommended by everyone and given our limited time in the city this one day trip was the perfect fit. I was most impressed with the selection by the crew on which islands to explore. Each was a completely unique and different experience and the final island completely blew my mind (no spoilers but just believe thats its quite amazing).

Halong Bay tour - Cruise with lunch - Took the one day Halong Bay tour which included the pickup/drop from the hotel, the Luxury Cruise with Heritage Luxury Boat.
Onboard the boat a very good buffet was provided which included Seafood and also options for the vegetarians too..
The places that we went around were Halong Bay (seeing the various rock formations etc), the walk across the Sung Sot caves with it’s majestic limestone formations, Hang Luon Cave (kayaking, bamboo boat, speed boat options), Ti-Top island with it’s beach and swim in the waters.
It was a rainy day that made us be in our raincoats when outside, however was an enjoyable trip.

Disappointed - Halong Bay is overrated it's very dirty with plastic bottles, all sorts of rubbish floating In the sea.
If only the Vietnamese Government would make all these boats stop throwing their rubbish into the sea and start to clean up the place I'm sure it would be made wonderful again.
I'm so glad that we only went on a day trip and didn't do a overnight stay.
