Well done Hannah, (again). Thought I'd go back and look at one of your early (Northern Viet) travel vlogs, cos I've become addicted to your production discipline and editing skills. I traveled through Northern Vietnam with my wife and 19-year-old daughter and took that same bus up from the Old Quarter in Hanoi. I found, like yourself though, the only way to do Ha Long Bay is on a tour boat, and I truly hate tour groups. Especially when stuck 'on a boat'. But we found a great old boat with a gorgeous big room with immense windows. We did a two-day tour, so stayed overnight. I will never forget the sunrise. And the early morning kayaking into those small bays, the cycle ride out on one of the island, the caves and the opportunity to just jump off the boat and swim. The extra time afforded us a bit more relaxation in the location.
My friend and I took a sea plane to ha long bay. We got to land on water which was very cool. Felt like a James Bond film. On the way back we took a taxi. Our driver was on a mission, constantly overtaking on the wrong side of the road. I was knackered so would randomly wake up to find us on the wrong side of the road driving into oncoming traffic, only for our driver to pull back in with seconds to spare. That was a fun experience.
Welcome to Ha Long bay, That is very informative video. Nowday many people prefer to visit Ha Long bay from Cat Ba island. From the island you can have chance to visit another bay called Lan Ha bay that has been voted as one of the most beautiful bay in the world. Trekking and rock climbing at Cat Ba national park also is an option. We hope to see you again in Vienam, especially to visit Cat Ba islan. Thanks for sharing the video
Hi Hannah! This Vlog was very helpful as I am A solo traveler and will be visiting Vietnam Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Sapa as well. thanks for the insight on your travel advice and great job on filming, editing, sound edit ad DRONE SHOT!!
Been there - did the overnight boat trip on an amazing Chinese junk but stayed in small hotel on Cat Bao island as opposed to sleeping on boat - much more confortable. Then got a little old Vietnamese grandma to buy me scores of strings of local pearls at the markets at ridiculous low price as she relentlessly bargained the price down. I’ve been giving out these strings of pearls to get things done ever since. Best of all the water was like a glass mirror reflecting a smokey sky and hazy sun (totally surreal) and only saw two other boats in two days. Liam
I cant thank you enough again Hannah for such an awesome video. The appeal of travelling on your own is the freedom I think. Super dope drone shots AGAIN :) keep going with the videos ;) Thanks again.
Excellent! First you give me Sapa, and now, a day cruise works- I'm not a kayaker nor each man. Caves? Meh. Been there as a young man, now, a lot less busy in my plans. I was considering the TWO Night Cruise, but shall do the single night. I wonder whether the "Overnight Sleeper" bus I've heard of goes from Haiphong or where the port for Ha Long bay is, to Hue? Your skill with your drone is superb. Thanks you're wonderful! Harry, xx
Ooooh Kara and Nate recommend the over night and you recommend the day, aaaah! (Although I think the over night would be for couples maybe? The romance)
Such an amazing footage of your Halong Bay experience. You must have had a blast cruising and kayaking. If you spend overnight on the boat, you will enjoy the serenity of Halong Bay at night and perhaps also catch some squids, too. You can check out our channel for more videos of beautiful Halong Bay.
i did the 2 day tour, it was just a bit more relaxed , stayed for a bbq and some beers on a island. and ofcourse a nice sunset, if only i had my dji spark back than. next time i will be sure to go to mount Poem too.
Oh okay that actually sounds quite nice! Especially if you were there with someone else to share the experience. I think I'd feel a little money by myself haha. Thanks for letting me know!
Hey Danjo Ahhhhh it's so good! I'm so glad I've convinced you to go haha! Make sure you climb Mt Poem too if you've got the time. Best view of my life!
Hey Hannah, your videos are good. I liked the presentation. Could you suggest some good places to stay in Halong bay. Even we want to do poem Mountain and then go for a full day cruise and be back by evening. Is it possible
Hello Im planning to solo traveling in Hanoi on Oct, what is the safest transportation? And another thing, is it safe to do kayaking alone though I cant swim?
whenever I see videos about Vietnam, I upvote ihihi :x Great channel Hannah, I love all your videos; they're truly inspiring for me to go see the world. Keep up the good work! +1 subscriber
Hey Hannah that Brekky looked sick can you give us the name of the cafe you got that from by the way you’re killing it with these awesome vlogs cheers ✌🏼
I'm going over next year for an overnight on one of the boats :) ... one question though, did you have any issues with the drones there? ..and awesome vid :)
Hey! Have the best time there! I didn't have any issues flying the drone in Vietnam :) Just be sure to fly it safely away from people - as you normally would. You're bound to get some incredible shots!
I flew my drone at the roof deck of the boat yesterday. Then it suddenly moved while the drone was 500m away, I had a mini heart attack! I had to figure out how to land it on a moving boat. LOL :D Overall the drone experience in Ha Long Bay is awesome, no radio interference, GPS is 16 satellites and the scenery is just meant to be shot above! Check out the video I posted today, it has the drone footages of Ha Long Bay.
good choice for doing day tour, we did 2days, and they have nothing much to offer, fishing, but no fish... karaoke but generally they only have local songs... and lastly spring roll making.. thats all u missed... lucky we are on a group to joke around...
rae rae Ohh I see. Yeah being in a group would definitely help keep things entertaining. I'd probably just get bored haha. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I did the 2 day tour of Ha Long Bay and I enjoyed it but myself and most of the rest of guest said they did not sleep well. We did a couple of things that you didn't on the one day tour but I would not feel slighted if I did the one day tour. My biggest let down was the junk floating in the water....sad. I did like you then and took the train to SaPa....BEST part of Vietnam! (SaPa not the train...I would recommend taking a bus over the train much quicker)

I am watching this for the second time this week! Your shots are so breathtaking and making me superduper excited to visit Vietnam later this month!!
That music from Evolv is soooo amazing @5:28 :-) Thank you Hannah, keep up the good work. All the best from Germany.

Your trip looks amazing, nice job with the drone. It does look a little scary traveling on your own. You have a lot of courage.
Wow! I’m like binge watching your Vietnam Vlogs! Thank you for the tips! I’m traveling solo there in May!

Pretty helpful video, you’ve convinced me to book the day trip with Phoenix! Thanks Hannah, hope you’re still traveling somewhere
I cant thank you enough again Hannah for such an awesome video. The appeal of travelling on your own is the freedom I think. Super dope drone shots AGAIN :) keep going with the videos ;) Thanks again.
It is very free-ing to travel on my own. A little lonely sometimes but worth it in the end. So glad you're enjoying my videos!

I only did the day tour with Swan Cruises and it was worth it. I was able to visit plenty of places in Ha Long Bay for I think 85 US Dollars only
i did the 2 day tour, it was just a bit more relaxed , stayed for a bbq and some beers on a island. and ofcourse a nice sunset, if only i had my dji spark back than. next time i will be sure to go to mount Poem too.
Oh okay that actually sounds quite nice! Especially if you were there with someone else to share the experience. I think I'd feel a little money by myself haha. Thanks for letting me know!
how much did u pay? Any cheap and good cruise recommendations?
planning a day tour as well.. I want to spend more time in Cao bang .
Wow so beautiful!, the scene is nice too
So awesome. I can't wait to goooo! Might be able to swing some days in Nov. We'll see. Great video Han! Keep them coming.
Hey Danjo Ahhhhh it's so good! I'm so glad I've convinced you to go haha! Make sure you climb Mt Poem too if you've got the time. Best view of my life!

Very enjoyable - great drone shots - too bad that your stay wasn't longer.
Very nice work and editing! But I would have liked a more detailed explanation on why you didn't do the overnight cruise.
Awesome video as always! How would you compare Halong Bay to Phuket? and and, you should do a Q&A video too hahaha. Keep the videos coming!
Hello Im planning to solo traveling in Hanoi on Oct, what is the safest transportation? And another thing, is it safe to do kayaking alone though I cant swim?
By train, a little slow but safe and you get to see the country. Kayaking is okay i would not recommend to do it alone. Bus can be unsafe.
@@danny48834 no I mean transporation in Hanoi City, I think there is no train there
In Hanoi motorbikes is better if you know how to ride one. Travel through the country train is better. Buses is a little bit dangerous.
Great trip. I love your videos.
Hi Hannah, Can I asked you what type of camera you had? The video looks great!
Your drone shots are seriously amazing ♥
+Iwasaka Miyuki Thank you so much! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you're well!

Thanks for the info Hannah,,, I've just crossed Ha Long Bay off my list,,, far too many people for an introvert like me
How much was your boat trip?
good choice for doing day tour, we did 2days, and they have nothing much to offer, fishing, but no fish... karaoke but generally they only have local songs... and lastly spring roll making.. thats all u missed... lucky we are on a group to joke around...
rae rae Ohh I see. Yeah being in a group would definitely help keep things entertaining. I'd probably just get bored haha. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Did a two day tour. You did not miss anything! :)
Li'l Sebastian's Ghost how was your overall experience at the cruise? Nd where all did u go in Vietnam?
I did the 2 day tour of Ha Long Bay and I enjoyed it but myself and most of the rest of guest said they did not sleep well. We did a couple of things that you didn't on the one day tour but I would not feel slighted if I did the one day tour. My biggest let down was the junk floating in the water....sad. I did like you then and took the train to SaPa....BEST part of Vietnam! (SaPa not the train...I would recommend taking a bus over the train much quicker)
