- What is Halong Bay really like? We asked a bunch of people while we were on a 2-night 3-day tour in Halong Bay with Fantasy Cruize. We ask questions to see if Halong Bay is really as spectacular as people show on Instagram.
We filmed this in Ha Long Bay; goo.gl/maps/HpJAnpMGaq1RXjoE8

![THE TRUTH & COST of a Halong Bay Cruise [Know BEFORE You Go!]](/img/n.gif)
I swam at night in Ha Long Bay and there was bright green phosphorescence in the water!! It was awesome!! I don't remember all the plastic but I was there in 2001.
Wow, that must have been so nice 😍 I'm glad to hear you had such an experience. Thanks for watching Stephen
Personally I preferred Ninh Binh, about 90k south of Hanoi. Amazing nature beautiful landscapes, great for hiking and taking local boat trips. For me it was a lot more enjoyable. Locals are a lot friendlier too 😊
completely different, but yes Ninh Bình is nature galore
Thanks for sharing Roy. Yeah I can see why you say that :) It's two different worlds. Ilona and I wanted to make some new memories in Halong Bay so we did :D Thanks for watching again 🏆
Agree
Amazing place, so beautiful. Enjoyable interviews as always and a great addition that the two of you shared your experiences there and provided the footage too. Top video. Cheers champs. 🤩
Glad you enjoyed it Steven :) It's a stunning place and I'm glad we were able to share our experiences ;) like always! Have a great evening already 🏆
Never heard of it before, but it's amazing!
Ey mate, it's a beautiful place :D I guess there are a few places every tourist goes to when visiting Vietnam and this is one of them :) Thanks again for all your support 🏆 Have a great day!
I was in Ha Long last week and yes I was very impressed, great city in Vietnam 🇻🇳
Great to hear! Next time we should visit the city too :D
@@Chai_Travel I went on a 10 days tour of Thailand 🇹🇭 Laos 🇱🇦 and Vietnam ( Hanoi, Ha Long and the mountains in SaPa) that recently ended back in Cambodia 🇰🇭 my home base……I rate #1 Vietnam #2 Thailand and #3 Laos.
I've been there twice and have noticed that the littering situation was getting from bad to worse at the Halong Bay area. Hope the relevant authorities will do something about this issue soon. By the way, did you guys go to the pearl cultivation area at Halong? It was quite an experience. 😅
It's a pity. But I can see how difficult it is to keep it clean as the rubbish is coming from everywhere 😅 Its a huge change to make a big difference and hopefully the right people can do more about this issue. Unfortunately we didn’t go there. Have you? Maybe next time ;P
@Chai_Travel Yes, I was at the Halong Pearl cultivation centre where they demonstrated how the process of cultivating pearl was done. It was rather interesting!
Nice review of an Amazing looking place - the tourist interviews were well done - Ilona’s wisdom is spot on “ smile “
- I think it could be time for Ilona to interview the Champ 😃🤩👌👋👍🙏
Glad you enjoyed it again! Aw I really love here piece of wisdom 🥰 I'll ask her to see if she wants to interview me ;)
I hope this video will helps the Vietnamese authorities realized they need to focusing more on cleaning up the bay and the streets. To preserve the ha long bay beauty.
Halong Bay is amazing....the litter is a pity and I do wonder why/where/how. Cat Ba is not what it is today. Back then there were a few buildings at the dock and that's it. I also wonder if that tour company I used is still around. They had the only luxury cruise liner back then and it was a wooden boat. They also had a separate island to overnight on, like camping and from there you go kayaking that is amazing. So this video brought back fond memories....thanks Champ and let's not forget Elona (sp).
Wow that sounds cool! I hope it still excites. Id love to camp on a separate Island there as most of the main islands got very busy. Good to see your comments again :D have a good day
If I compare (we had both experiences), we prefer Phang Nga bay and Samet Nangshe. Less crowded, much cleaner.
Haha nice one mate. Fair enough. I'm glad you were able to visit them places :D Thanks again 🏆
Thank you for this wonderful video. Beautiful.
Hi Yasin :D Thanks! Have an amazing day 😃
@@Chai_Travel Hi there. Thank you. You too, have a great day. 😀
🎉
❤️
❤❤❤
I was just there a few months ago. Spectacular and beautiful , that’s a reason why it’s a seven wonders of the world. Really cheap to go from Hanoi, therefore it’s crowded like Disney World. Some of the plastic and trashes were caused by tourists but it wasn’t that bad at all. Most of the trashes were also drifted in from the sea. Vietnam as I said before is the most beautiful and affordable country that I ever visited. Caving and kayaking were spectacular and the highlight on my trip. I blamed the language barrier resulted in some misunderstanding of the people. Vietnamese people were pretty nice and hardworking.
Fully agree :) Also the rubbish is coming from other parts of the world I'm sure. It's a difficult challenge to keep it clean. Vietnam and its people are great :D
Do you know where all the sews from city Ha Long hotels go to…… ?
No do not know. Do you?
Is Ha Long better than Khao Sok National Park champ?
That's difficult for me to say as I still haven’t visited Khao Sok ;P I'm saving it for a "sunny day" ;) Cheers John
@@Chai_Travel Aw better get onto that then eh Champ. See you there in November?
Aw November sounds great but we probably not gonna make it down there as we'll be in the north!
@@Chai_Travel Why oh why Chiang Mai Champ?
@@crazyjohn4504 why o why Thailand 🤔
❤❤❤😍😍😍
Thanks
True, in France when you go to a waiting room, onto a train, etc, you say 'bonjour'. I was shicked that the people in the UK don't greet you in the same situation.
Ey ey :) yeah especially in London people don’t say hello while using public transport. But outside the busy cities it’s more common to say; hi how are you?
The trash really does take away from the natural beauty, but I hear a lot of it can come from other countries like the Philippines after a storm. It also doesn't help that the locals don't take care of their trash properly.
How about trash from China?
So sad that there's trash in such a beautiful place. There are still floating communities that live in Ha Long Bay and that greatly contribute to the littering. Just remember that these communities have been living in Ha Long Bay way before it became a World Heritage site, and the only way they know how to get rid of their rubbish is to throw them in the water.
The trash situation has improved tremendously since Ha Long Bay became a World Heritage site, but it definitely can improve even more.
6:31 very sad
They may lose their UNESCO distinction if they don't care for the environment. We did this 20yrs ago and no garbage. I find a lot of countries in SE Asia dirty,lots of plastic and garbage, many Thai beaches have garbage everywhere. I love the region and countries but something needs to be done
Yeah true. I can imagine how difficult it is to keep it clean though. Hopefully it will change over time. Thanks again champ 🏆
@@Chai_Travel well education and reinforcement of being responsible, using garbage receptacles etc. They need to invest in the resources to do so, and being that many of these countries rely on tourism heavily they should be collecting more taxes from corporations that benefit to do so. There are many cities around the world that make this effort with providing the recycling and garbage containers needed, and promoting their beautiful clean environment. Residents and tourists will appreciate it.
I am Malaysian. It is sea trash. Very bad in South east asia. Due to polluted rivers.😢
If you go during sunny weather you will say it's beautiful. If you go and it's cloudy and drizzly, and rainy, you might not like it
We had rain pretty much all the time and we loved it :) luckily the water was calm
I think they should ban the use of plastic completely to get rid of rubbish!
Come on man in blue shirt. Nothing wrong with pineapple in pizza
Exactly. He also implied that French people are friendlier than Vietnamese. Why do I find that hard to believe?
@@daraveung I love pineapples on pizza.
Haha he was nice enough to talk to us guys ;p I guess it’s also a ongoing joke where there are people loving the pine apple, and people who “hate” it. I don’t mind a bit of pineapple on a pizza with ham though 🤭
They see westrners and run away !! don't take personally. it's the ancestors
:p nah mate. That never happened to me. Maybe it was like that in the passed?
Thank you :)
