Halong Bay
2 night, 3 day cruise on Flamingo Cruises.
Good:
Halong Bay are is stunning!
Our 'busy' pace came to a abrupt, 'relax'.
Food was excellent
Accommodations were clean, comfortable, enough hot water for showers, and for Vietnam, we would rate it, excellent!
The day tours were awesome!
Day 1: The Kayak tour: the scenery was gorgeous, Kayaking through caves was fun, fighting monkeys in the trees was a surprise.
Day 2 tour: a relaxing
boat ride to the (very remote) floating houses, the pearl farm, and the private beach, was spectacular! Considering we were NOT keen to take the tour, it was a surprise highlight! An EXCELLENT adventure! :)
Day 3: a morning tour of the BIG cave - AWEsome! Never been in a cave so big.
Bad:
There was a lot of garbage floating on the water (China Sea), sad to see. The water looked very murky in areas, filled with pollution. Certainly NOT motivated to go for a swim.
Water was not offered during meals. The 6 hour tour came with a fabulous meal, but no water. My only 'unsatisfactory' comment.
Ugly:
Was awoken the first night on the boat with the worst SMELL! It woke me up it was so bad. Other guests were disturbed by it too. It may have been the dumping of sewage, it was ugly!
