I brought my wife & 2 teenage children to VN this past July and spent 2 days 1 night in Ha Long Bay as well and we were just blown away by how beautiful it is. The ferry ride to the main cruise ship built up our excitement as we began to see the islets up close, the cruise ship amenities/rooms were really nice, especially our rooms with balcony. I caught my kids sitting in the balcony stared out into the bay for 10 minutes just enjoying Mother Nature's best work. The food was so plentiful and was so delicious and fresh too. The VN people we met and the crew were so nice, really anxious to answer our questions/queries. The cost of everything was quite cheap too. We're already talking about going back there next year.
Vietnam is just too beautiful - the beaches, the mountains, the food, the people, the landscape, on and on....I just love the jade color water. Ha Long Bay is breathtaking - so serene and epic. Thanks for the video.
Wow 👌 I love your editing its amazing now. Jeez those Jelly Fish omg you were lucky there. The music and your editing gets me everytime 🥺 so proud of you both ❤️ xxx
newly subbed as I'm looking to do a luxury Ha Long Bay tour. I might swerve this company then, im thinking of the Orchid Classic one. Thats gunna be my treat after 4weeks of biking all around the North of Vietnam so excited to see your Ha Giang content :)

hi, it was great watching both of you hvg fun. I plan my visit to HL Bay in Feb. Just wondering - Luxury cruise - Worth it? you left the question Still alive :) Tell me what is better or following ( i am nature lover ) 1. 2Day 1Night Luxury Cruise or 2. take a day cruise and stay in hotel at HalongBay for 1-2 days. Thanks in advance
Hi! We think the cruise is worth it! You can book the cruise with the “Southeast Asia Backpackers” link in description and use code “TYANDSOPH” at checkout for huge savings!🙌 thank you for watching
I might be wrong but it looks as if you did the Lan Ha bay tour not the full Ha Long bay. Both start at Ha Long port. I didn't see any stops at tiptop island or the large caves. The ha long tour usually always sails via these places. La Han is much quieter. What tour did you book, cheers
Hello! We booked the Ha Long Bay Tour with a company called La Casta Cruise (Link in description if you wanted to check it out 😊) we're not sure if that is what we got though haha you might be right? or maybe they only include those places on the 3 day tours? we're not sure! thanks for watching! 😃
It is Ti Top Island. Tip means landfills. According to Google Map, Ti Top Island & Hang Sung Sot are within the lines of Lan Ha Bay. Cat Ba is also part of the World Heritage Area.
Your experience looked amazing! Would you recommend this for young kids? We are planning a trip to Hanoi and would like to do this cruise, but we are not sure how kid friendly it would be.
Hi! Thanks for watching!🙏 it was kid friendly for sure, if there at the age where they can Kayak and swim in the sea I think they would enjoy that! But to be honest there isn’t children’s entertainment on this ship, we would say it’s more aimed for adults! Might be worth googling to see if any of the companies specify actives for children? There lots of companies were sure there must be one! Good luck & enjoy your trip!
Hi Hannah! Thank you! The cruise is La Casta! You can book it on their website or if you look at our pinned comment, you can book a halong bay cruise using our code for a huge discount!:)
Book your Halong Bay tour on the link below and use code ‘TYANDSOPH’ at checkout for a HUGE discount (not the tour in the video)✌🇻🇳 southeastasiabackpacker.com/booking-category/vietnam/ Halong Bay is a once in a lifetime kind of experiences... was it worth the $253.51 for both of us? 100%! What do you think?
Definitely there was something wrong with that cruise company . Most of the 2d/1n tours in HL bay offer at least 3 activities : kayaking , cave visit , peak view and swimming on TiTop island or pearl farm visit . Did you do any research before booking
@@hungcuongnguyen293 we had a friend who went on the same cruise and really recommended it to us. Next time we will definitely choose one with more activities! Have been on one? Can you recommend any good ones?
@@tyandsoph My last trip to HL bay was in 2011 , so I think everything has changed since then . I did not stay overnight on boat , but on Cat Ba Island

@@tyandsoph Thanks. Is a lot but was fancy. I would want 3 nights. I usually go to Guatemala - hotel $15, hot water/fridge/stove/garden to lake......3 beers, 60c in a family bottle! Nam looks great but visa/booking flight and hotel a hassle that I can do without. Language awful too. Seems nice people, great food, great scenery. Keep making videos!
@@tyandsoph USD? Is a lot but was fancy. In Guatemala, $10/night bed, wifi etc,and 60c for 3 beers in a family bottle. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Heading there in Jan; hassle with visa, booking flights, hotels, new sim card on and on. Tempted to kiss #2500 goodbye for the aggravation.
@@davidwheatcroft2797 it’s pricey for Vietnam, we found everything else in Vietnam to be reasonably priced! It’s one of the cheapest countries we’ve ever visited! :)
@@tyandsoph Yes, nice and cheap. Some tourist oriented stuff going in gondola etc expensive. Taxi from airport want $23! No tip for him.. Thanks for your video. Stay at Casa del mundo, lago Atitlan - $110/night for 2, meals included; stunning, but must book a year ahead. Watch it on YT. Guatemala well worth visit.

Fabulous. Editing great xx
Thanks grandma ❤️❤️
I’m very sorry about the lack of attention from their tour guide, and the transportation issue.
Is the water polluted in ha long Bay? Which cruise is best to book?
Wow, that is absolutely amazing!!
it was indeed!
Có thể do thuyền của các bạn quá ít người không phù hợp vs những hoạt động còn lại lên họ cắt giảm để tránh lãng phí.
Yes, possibly, that could be the case!

Can you let me know which travel agent so I can be aware- thanks
We didn’t book through a travel agent but it’s with lacasta cruise ☺️
do you paid extra for the other activity such as kayaking?
The price you paid for was very very cheap. Many RUclipsrs paid more than this for 2 Days 1 Night Cruise.
❤ great video
Can you share the link to the cruise itself?

Is agoda is Legit or not? I’m planning to book the cruise for 30th jan 2024?
254 USD, thì khó để trải nghiệm như ông hoàng, trên biển được, chúc bạn có những chuyến đi vui vẻ
Hey! Thanks for watching! The translation isn’t coming through correctly ☹️ it was 254 USD for both of us! Not bad to live like a king for a day 🤴

If you can afford usd 300 per pax then ok .otherwise continue your journey in other parts of vietnam.
The price we mentioned in the video is for both of us, not each, sorry we should have made that more clear! :)
Is the price you pay is one person or per room for two people ? Thanks.
It was 253 dollars for both of us ☺️
With $250, I can get 4/5 days cruise in US, Miami or California. To get VN quality and pay US dollars is a rip-off.
You don't know what you're talking about
250$ get what? 😂
Lousy service 😢
