Story one – three day tour
We booked a three day tour on board of the Cat Ba Princess. We were welcomed by a really nice crew and had a cup of coffee. Then we were shown our cabins which were really comfortable. What we liked is that by opening the curtains you could even see all beautiful things through the window. Furthermore what I noticed is the design of the interior is really nice. After getting in our things in the cabin we had sailed for quite a bit and we had lunch. Then we arrived at a bay where no other boats were and we prepared for a dive in the water. We even got to a small beach where we could see some more of the wildlife and nature. After this visit we went to another bay where we paired up with one of the other boats and had dinner. We spoke to the people on the other boat about what they had done, they went to one of the floating villages, which we had seen already but not yet visited. This was on the program for the next day. After dinner we sat down for a drink with the crew. Where Halong bay is really beautiful during the day it becomes mysterious at night. The moon and starts just give enough light to see the mountains which makes you realize on what kind of special place you are. The next two days where even more relaxing with small visits to beautiful places, the floating villages, nice lunches and dinners. It was an amazing trip and we went back to Hanoi completely relaxed.
