How lucky I am to get to experience this majestic place, Halong Bay, Vietnam.
On our tour of Vietnam, this was a 'must see' for us. The thought of being surrounded by grassy limestone mountains while laying out on top of a small cruise ship just sounded darn good to me.
Halong Bay, YES, it is just as pretty as you would think it would be. We did a one night cruise through Paloma tours. They were amazing. They were the utmost professional, caring, kind and fun!
The boat was exquisite. Dark hardwood floors throughout, impeccable table settings, TONS of food. When I first stepped on the boat (note this is my very FIRST cruise) I said man look at these dark hardwoods looking like The Titanic! Eeekkk! We didn't need for a thing. Well, wi-fi, but it was actually nice to have a break from that! ;) We were able to drown ourselves in the surrounding sea of tranquil beauty. With full bellies and no where to go, we were gladly trapped in paradise.
I highly recommend seeing Halong Bay if you get the chance. I would also recommend staying more than one night on the boat if you can, although it can get quite pricey, ~$100 per person/per night. There are a lot of excursion opportunities actually, like visiting a local fishing village, pearl farm, caves, and more, which are included! Wish we could have stayed longer!
