Hi, I wish to book a 2D1N tour at Halong, with overnight stay, in May. Is it more expensive to book online? For e.g., it costs abt US$112/pax at ODC Travel, and US$137 at Handspan? Is it more than what u guys pay when u book in Ha Noi at their offices? And are there hidden costs? One last worry, if I were to book when I'm in Ha Noi itself, will it be readily available i.e. I can go on the tour the next day? This will be my first time going to Vietnam... nervous!!!!=D
You can usually get a place for next day or day after trips to Halong Bay when you are in Hanoi. The prices you have seem a touch high to me but it depends on the standard. As an example, the following itinerary can be had for65US or80US for the Deluxe cabin! Day 1 (L-D): Hanoi - Halong Bay Pick up at your hotel. Leave Ha Noi at 8:15 am for Ha Long City by a modern bus. Get on Imperial Junk boat and enjoy a welcome drink and lunch of savoury local sea food. Check into your cabin and start cruising around the bay to see the amazing karsts with different formations: Lion, Tea Pot, Toad, Dau Nguoi (Human Head) islet, and then stop for a walk through the Sung Sot cave "Amazing Cave" There will be plenty of time for swimming and sunbathing (If weather permitted) after the boat anchors at a clean calm sea. Enjoy a wonderful sunset dinner in our beautiful restaurant before retiring to the comfort of your cabin. Dinner and overnight in Imperial Junk Boat. Go fishing. Day 2: (B -L) Ha Long Bay - BaiTuLong - Ha Noi Breakfast . Keep cruising. Visit the VAGIA floating village. Kayaking then going to BaiTuLong Bay, the neglected area which is the most spectacular bay with islands in different shapes, have a look at HonGai market, Poet Island. Arrive in Ha Long City at 11.30 Am . Lunch. After lunch, return to Ha Noi and arrive in Ha Noi at 16.00 p.m. Tour ends. Includes: - Transport, boat trip. - English speaking Tour guide - 2 lunchs + 1 dinners + 1 breakfasts - Double/ twin haring room at Imperial Air-conditioning Boat - Entrance fees
