Cruise on Ha Long Bay
A boat that doesn't look like much but is impeccable inside. It is accessed by a small motorboat (too bad because of the strong smell of gasoline). The cabin is cozy & clean. Lunch upon arrival then visit to the Surprise Cave. Then head to Tiptop Island beach. Evening entertainment: learn to make spring rolls, squid fishing ... It was fun.

Superb small cruise
Boat that doesn't look like much but is impeccable inside. It is accessed by a speedboat (a shame because of the strong smell of gasoline). The cabin is succinct but very clean.
Lunch upon arrival then visit the Surprise Cave. Then head to Tiptop Island beach. Evening entertainment: learning to make spring rolls, squid fishing...
