One of the best cruising experiences: Off the beaten track
A serene experience of cruising through the Bai Tu Long bay. This route was chosen to avoid the general crowding that happens in the Lan Ha bay route. The weather was not sunny so we all could sit comfortably in the sun deck and enjoy the smooth sail through the limestone mounds. We started off with the safety briefing by the tour manager. By then the crew set up table for the 7 course lunch all served on the table. The menu was elaborate and the food was delicious. After some relaxing time, we set off for a visit to the Vung Vieng floating fishing village. It takes around 30-40 mins to visit the fishing village. So if you are used to kayaking (2 person/kayak) you can opt for it else it is better to go with the bamboo boat (upto 6 ppl) ride. The journey is pleasant. We finished off with the pearl harvesting and demonstration. The sunset party could not happen due to the absence of sun. However, people went happy with the "happy hours". This was followed by cooking class by Mr. Peter "Vietnamese fried spring roll made by many countries". The day ended with a luxurious 7 course meal at dinner. Some of us were fishing enthusiasts who tried their hands on squid fishing at night. The 2nd day started at 6 am with a TaiChi session at the sun deck. Such a wonderful way to start your day, unless of course you want to sleep late and miss the morning fresh air and be surrounded by lofty hills. After a quick breakfast with traditional Vietnamese pho we set off for a short hiking to the Thien Canh Son cave. We need to hike about 90 high steps along steep mountain path to reach. The path is stone paved and very well maintained. The cave has a very narrow entrance and tall people have to mind their head and legs. While climbing down, which I found rather difficult than climbing up, we diverted to a hidden and beautiful beach. Finally we returned to the cruise as it was time for checkout. Meanwhile the crew served us a wonderful lunch before we disembarked at the international cruise port at Halong. This will be a memorable event for all of us. We would certainly recommend this to all fellow travellers.
