🇻🇳Halong Bay Cruise🇻🇳❤️⛴️
🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳
After our lunch buffet on the cruise, we were on our way to the 1st stop. Along the way we were viewing all these beautiful nature around us. Sea, mountains and sky. The weather was amazing as well and we took some photos on the top deck of the cruise while enjoying these wonderful sights. The Halong Bay cruise is a definite must-do when you are in Hanoi.

Romantic Trip of a lifetime..
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)

SHORT TRIP TO CATBA ISLAND
Just two hours on the roads and 20 minutes of ferry ride will bring you from Hanoi capital to this small island call Cat Ba. It’s a popular island located nearby to Halong Bay and it’s worth to be visited for a quick gate away. The people are great and they a lot of seafood restaurant to be choose from.
Nothings beat the calm of the ocean during the morning. Take a walk along the coastal area and you will feel the warmth of Catba. Renting a motorbike not an issue here and they came with a more cheaper price compared to Hanoi.
There was a cable car crossing from the mainland to the island which we are not aware of. Maybe can be tried when we visit Catba again in the future.

Dong Thien Cung Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Thien Cung Cave is located in Ha Long Bay. It is a must to visit when you go to Ha Long Bay. There are four stone pillars in the center of this cave.

I already knew that there is a landscape in Vietnam that is listed in the World Natural Heritage List - Halong Bay, but when Long Bay appeared in front of me, I was deeply shocked: the endless blue sea spread Open, there are many peaks in the sea, saying that it is a peak, it can also be regarded as an island, with green trees and shrubs dotted around.
Tiangong Cave, you can visit the attractions that Halong Bay can't miss, the unique karst cave style, and the strange stalactites. This kind of cave is actually a lot in China, but the Tiangong Cave is not so much decorated with many lights, but it is even more shocking!
Tiangong Cave is located on the island of wood and consists of three sub-holes. Here are millions of years of colorful, colorful and diverse stone fossils, as well as the image of the Dragon King and its rich cultural heritage. The name comes from ancient folklore. It features an ancient and secluded beauty. The outer part of the cave is a large basin, which seems to be a brilliant dance and dance venue with a combination of painting and architectural art.
There are colorful and varied, majestic and delicate stone stones in the middle and inside of the hole. Under the light of the lights, those stone milk suddenly shined to reflect the diamond-like brilliance. I think that I am old, it must be a stubborn old urchin.

After the boat docked, we went to Tiangong Cave, one of the beautiful scenery that Halong Bay could not miss. This is a typical karst cave. Perhaps you will feel very general in such a cave, because it is often seen in the country, and there are many places, but such caves are rare at sea!
Finally, when I want to say goodbye, Vietnam, the country on this motorcycle wheel, is as simple as the imagination, and there are different surprises in the imagination, just like every Vietnamese river powder.
We want to escape the boring life that repeats every day, so choose to travel.
During the trip, there will be stories that make us remember many years later.

Bai Tu Long Bay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Ha Long - Lan Ha - Bai Tu Long
Almost every traveler passing through Vietnam has either already been to Halong Bay or dreams of visiting. It’s status as one of the seven natural wonders of the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site means that Halong Bay has been a popular choice for many travel bucket lists for many years. But Halong Bay is not the only bay worth knowing in the Gulf of Tonkin.
The Halong Bay world heritage site is actually made up of three neighboring bays: Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. Halong Bay is undeniably the most famous and well-known of the three routes but Lan Ha and Bai Tu Long should not be overlooked. Here we explain the main differences between the three famous bays to help you choose the right Halong Bay itinerary to suit your needs.

Bai Tu Long Bay
Bai Tu Long Bay is the name of an area located in the east of Halong Bay Vietnam. Although it shares many similar geological characters with Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay is considered as off the beaten tourist track with many deserted and pristine beaches, no less impressive karst mountains. The Bay has a rich biodiversity with two ecosystems: a tropical, moist, evergreen rainforest ecosystem; and a marine and coastal ecosystem. The area has scarcely seen any tourist development. A large number of guests, through online research, wish to visit the Bai Tu Long Bay because it is much less crowded than Halong Bay. The only disadvantage is that it does not have many grottos. The nearest place for a visit (Vung Vieng Fishing village) is at around 20 km from tourist port.

Ti Top Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
💙🌊Beautiful Island Vibes🌊💙
🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳
On our final UNESCO World Heritage site of the Halong Bay tour. We arrive at…
Titop Island~It is a small, picturesque island known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views of the surrounding bay.
This island was named by the most respectful hero of Vietnam, President Ho Chi Minh, after the Russian cosmonaut Gherman Titov on the occasion of his first visit to Halong Bay in 1962. We walk around for a bit and see many people on the beach, but we are going to climb for a bit to see the view💙

Friday boat at the world famous bay
Titop Island is located 8 kilometers southeast of Bai Chay Harbor in the middle of Halong Bay. Despite its small size (3.7 hectares), it is considered one of the most beautiful islands in the bay and is a popular destination for Halong visitors.
Titop has stunning scenery, which can be seen from a vantage point high in the island's center. It boasts a crescent-shaped beach with fluffy white sand and turquoise blue waves that is famed for its serenity. Many cruise itineraries include a stopover in Titop Island because of its proximity to Bai Chay.

In love with you Bay
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a short and totally worthwhile day excursion from Hanoi, taking around four hours each way by bus. Though most known for its world-famous limestone outcroppings, Ha Long Bay also has a variety of beaches, the most well-known of which is Bai Chay, a man-made structure that attracts the majority of visitors.
Take a boat journey to Ti Top Island, an island in the middle of the bay with its own beach, for the entire experience. Visit the less-traveled, white-sand-filled Ban Chan beach if you have the time to make an overnight trip out of it.

🇻🇳🌊Chill Beach Vibes🌊🇻🇳
🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇭🇰
On our descend down from the Titop Island we are met with the Crescent Beach where we can relax with refreshments, swim, lounge, sunbathe or do some water activities💙
Such stunning beach to chill on, I suggest bringing a beach mat and swim suit with you when you come here. There are toilets and shower areas. Easy to spend a couple of hours here as you can just sit or swim or do activities. There is also a Titop Bar for drinks, ice cream and snacks so no worries for food.
Nice day out here👍
