Renowned guidebook publisher Lonely Planet recommended that readers planning a trip to the World Natural Heritage Site of Halong Bay consider cruising on a ship designed for just two passengers as well as sightseeing by seaplane 300m above sea level.
In the recently published article, “A First-time Guide to Halong Bay”, Lonely Planet mentioned two well-known brands under Thien Minh Group, Emeraude Premium and Hai Au Aviation, as travel providers to consider when looking to experience the magnificent natural beauty of Halong Bay.
Recognized by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site, Halong Bay is home to more than 1,900 limestone islands that rise out of deep green waters. Famed for its otherworldly beauty, this natural wonder has long been a can’t-miss destination for visitors to Vietnam.
Emeraude Premium – Complete privacy at sea
In the article, Lonely Planet mentions the Emeraude Premium as the perfect cruise option for travelers looking for privacy and premium service on Halong Bay. Designed to serve just two passengers, the Emeraude Premium offers a unique cruising experience in amongst the islands of Halong. This compact yet well-appointed ship is ideal for couples or those who love peace and quiet, away from the noise and bustle of much larger cruise ships.
Lonely Planet also recommends that visitors consider spending at least two nights exploring Halong Bay to enjoy a more relaxed pace and see areas less frequently visited by tourists. A cruise aboard the Emeraude Premium, a member of Thien Minh Group (TMG) where itineraries are customizable, ensures every experience in the bay is a truly special one.
Hai Au Aviation – Bird’s-eye views over Halong Bay
If Halong Bay is mesmerizingly beautiful from the water level, it’s even more stunning from up high. Hai Au Airlines, a member of Thien Minh Group, offers visitors the opportunity to admire the amazing scenery from a completely different perspective on scenic seaplane flights.
According to Lonely Planet, visitors can admire the islands, limestone cliffs, and blue-green waters from an altitude of 300m on a 25-minute flight aboard a Cessna seaplane. The majestic vistas of these rocky islands strung like pearls in the ocean is one visitors won’t soon forget.
