Asked by Carol Polich | Aug. 16, 2016 04:38
I will be photographing the Halong Bay area for about 7 days, Nov 7-Nov 15 (ret to Hanoi). Which mid range cruise do you suggest? And, if I sign up for one, can I take it again or hop onto another ship. Give me your best prices for about 8 n, 7 days. Can I get off the ship and how long do we spend at any of the caves? I don't mind repressing a cruise to re-shoot. Please reply.
Answered by Sunny | Aug. 22, 2016 12:23
Dear Carol, Thank you for your question and please find some further information below: - Actually you can spend 7days on different boat for your cruise trip in Halong Bay.

Very good
The whole trip was very smooth. The food was good, the excursions were fun, especially kayaking and the fishing village visit. The scenery was truly amazing, I wish I had booked a longer cruise to enjoy it more.
