Morning
Around 08:00 - 08:30, our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Hanoi and then go on a 2.5-hour shuttle bus ride to Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This natural wonder boasts over 1,600 limestone islands and islets emerging from emerald waters.
After arriving at the cruise port, meet the captain and the crew briefing about the safety instructions and refresh with a welcome drink.
Your boarding time is at around 12:00, and lunch with fresh seafood will be served as the boat cruises toward the bay. You can savor your dishes while enjoying the spectacular view of the charming islets with their distinctive formations that are only found in Halong Bay.

Afternoon
It's time to unwind and rest after lunch to prepare for the afternoon excursion in Halong Bay.
The excursion begins with a visit to a cave/ beach of Halong, depending on each cruise itinerary, such as swimming and sunbathing in the pristine Trinh Nu beach, exploring Halong Bay caves, etc.

Return to the boat at 17:00 - 17:30 to relax before having dinner.
After dinner, take part in various onboard activities such as squid fishing, board games, relaxing by the bar, movie night, and so on.
Return to your cabin and have an overnight stay on the cruise.

The scenery was breathtaking, and Sony was a fantastic guide who made our experience truly enjoyable. However, during our second visit to Mai Chau, we had some difficulty understanding our guide. It wasn’t just us—other people on the bus also struggled to follow what he was saying. We’re curious about what he was trying to explain, as it seemed important but was unfortunately lost in communication.
Ban Gioc Waterfalls was another beautiful destination, but the journey to get there was too long, making the trip feel less worthwhile. While the waterfalls themselves were stunning, the extended travel time took away from the experience. Additionally, having the same type of food every day became quite exhausting, and a bit more variety in meals would have been appreciated.
As for the Halong Cruise, it was a wonderful experience overall, with cozy rooms and great weather making it very enjoyable. However, today's tour was disappointing due to the cold weather. The attractions remained the same as they would be in warm conditions, which made the experience uncomfortable. Many people were freezing, and unfortunately, no blankets or hot tea were offered while we were waiting, which really dampened the mood. It would have been much better if some adjustments had been made to accommodate the colder temperatures.
Despite these issues, we still had a great time, especially in Mai Chau. With a few improvements, such as better tour preparation for different weather conditions and more diverse meal options, this trip could have been even more enjoyable. Less
Everyone is feeling fine. Very smooth ride.
The drivers arrived at the same time. Took our suitcases out of the bus and put on another bus.
First, we came to Halong Bay, the landscapes was so breathtaking. We stayed on a cruise from start to finish. Rooms on cruise were quite small but comfortable to sleep. The best thing was watching sunset on the deck. The food was aright.

Then we transfer to Hanoi. We had a small tour there. I have to say that Hanoi was really crowded.
Last destination of our trip is MAi Chau. There were nothing much there since that was countryside area but we had a super relax time enjoy the fresh atmosphere (which opposite to Hanoi) and biking around.
I think this kind of tour would fit those who want to relax and don't want much exploring. Less
Book a 4-day tour of BestPrice Travel was the best choice for us. We were planning to travel Vietnam by our own but at the end, we realized that it is not work so we rushed to find someone to help us with itinerary and we found BestPrice.

At first we just gonna visit Halong but they planned for us a tour to Mai Chau, too.
We tried kayaking in Halong and biking around the countryside in Mai Chau, which not only healthy but also really fun. Less
So fun! Tina was such a good host. Absolutely recommend. We were laughing and enjoying ourselves the entire time.
