Spending Xmas With A Halong Cruise Vacation
Hi everyone!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. You are now thinking to spend this special occasion on Halong bay Vietnam but still wondering what the trip likes?? I come back with some descriptions that almost Halong cruise vacations offered by local tour operators features.
What is a Ha Long bay cruise like?
Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site which has picked out 830 World Heritage sites around the world chosen for their cultural and historical importance and also for their geological uniqueness. Ha Long Bay offers signs of all three.
Created over millions of years tectonic forces slowly thrust the limestone above the waterline. During this process waves lapping against the stone carved out a number of vast striking caverns as well as other geologically interesting formations such as tunnel caves and uniquely shaped massifs. Unfortunately the geological forces at work were not too flash in the beachmaking department so most of the beaches tourists are taken to in the bay are manmade with the umbrellas and the sand in which they stand are all shipped in.
The primary purpose of a Ha Long Bay tour is to savors the tranquility and beauty of the water. But two or three days of utter tranquility can get a little too tranquil luckily the natural and cultural endowments of the bay provide activities in some cases with a heavy helping hand from the Vietnamese government.
They’re slow
Boats ply the waters slowly and take scenic circuitous routes. They often stop and put down their anchors while the passengers are eating lunch.
You may visit a floating village
Not all tours make a stop at a fishing village some just cruise by. If you do stop you’ll be able to view the seafood being farmed have the opportunity to buy some and have it prepared for you freeofcharge on the boat.
You’ll get to swim
Every tour stops for a swim at least once a day. Sometimes these swims take place near local fishing villages leading to jokes and apprehensions about the toilet situation on fishing villages. All tours also include a stop at one of the beaches.
You may get to kayak
All the boats bring kayaks and weather and tides permitting; stop to let passengers paddle around. Sometimes the opportunity to kayak through one of the tunnel cave systems will present itself. Other times passengers are simply expected to paddle in circles around the boat not surprisingly the caves and tunnels are far more interesting.
You’ll get to go caving
All tours include at least one cave visit in the price of the tour admission on your own is 40000 dong. The two most popular caves are the Dragon Cave Heaven Palace cave and the Surprising Cave. You won’t know beforehand which cave you will see that decision is made on the boat.
You may sleep over on the bay
Two and threeday tours always offer a night in a cabin. On any given night about 80 boats are allowed to drop anchor in one of three designated areas that means each area is filled with 20 to 30 boats. Sometimes they anchor very close to one another other times they’ll find a more private spot away from other boats.
You may overnight on Cat Ba Island
Most twoday tours offer one night in a twostar hotel on Cat Ba Island. Activities including a hike in Cat Ba National Park a kayaking trip through some offshore tunnel caves and/or a lunchtimevisit to a local fish farm where you catch your own fish before it is prepared for you are usually offered as a part of the tour.
You’ll be fed and transported
All tours offer three meals a day starting with lunch on the first day and ending with lunch on the last day. The quality of the meals varies tremendously depending on the price of the tour as does the transport to and from Hanoi.
That is an eye bird view on Halong bay boat trip so why you not take one then get your own experience. Halong bay is always described as the most worthtovisit site in Vietnam. Once again best wishes in a new year coming and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
