25-Minutes Halong Bay Sightseeing Seaplane from the Sky
Description
Soar above Halong Bay in a seaplane and admire its incredible landscape with more than 1,000 islands, islets, and towering limestone cliffs from the air on this scenic sightseeing flight with a small group. Enjoy an aerial view of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site and capture photos from a unique perspective. Taking off and landing on the water at Tuan Chau Marina, our 25-minute scenic flight showcases the highlights of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay, offering a completely different perspective than from a cruise ship. From the air, the many islands appear like mountain ranges, the embodiment of ""Ha Long"", meaning ""descending dragon"".

Itinerary
Make your way to the check-in counter at least 30 minutes of departure times at Villa T7, Tuan Chau Marina, Halong City. Get aerial views of Halong Bay on a 25-minute sightseeing flight in a seaplane, and discover a unique perspective on a landscape that’s been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Centre. See some of the 1,600 islands and islets that are scattered across the Gulf of Tonkin, along with lagoons, beaches, and towering sea cliffs. Keep your camera at the ready throughout the trip, as aerial photographs are the best way to capture the grand scale of Halong Bay, and the vast number of islands and rock formations that define the Gulf of Tonkin coast. You’ll see Dau Be Island, whose sheer cliffs are a destination for rock climbers and adventurers, then fly past Cong Do Island, where the sinuous coastline shelters hidden lagoons. Pass over Bo Hon Island, and try to spot the caves and grottoes that pock the island’s water-eroded rock formations.

True nightmare!!!!!!! Impossible to get a meeting point form the tour operators! The tour operator only questions is to download the f$&@& WhatsApp application. I politely ask 13 times where and when was the meeting point through viator over the course of 2 days…. I did not get an answer before providing my personal e-mail. They provided me a meeting point and time that was not at all per our reservation. After getting in the car, in route for our flight they call the driver to tell us that our flight was cancelled!!! As we had another activity booked after (boat tour) with them, we could not reschedule the flight. They drop us in the middle of nowhere without providing us another meeting point for the boat trip. I tried to arrange it with the driver but the driver was proposing us the take us at a train station??? Never understood this one! We communicated with the tour operator to know where to go… we never got a reply. Without meeting point or any information I had to run around the port like an imbecile and ask each fu$&@& boat if they had our names on their list! We made it by ourselves… we thought we had missed it, we were trying to communicate with the tour operator again when we heard our names…somebody was searching us desperately in the port! We probably delayed the boat trip for every body. At the moment of writing this we are still waiting for the refund. Bottom line don’t book with this company!
Dear Hervé Turcotte, We are so dissapointed about your review Your are from Halong international cruise port. It is about 20 - 30 mins from the port to Tuan Chau marina. On the date you booked 2 separated bookings (1 for seaplane flight in Tuan Chau marina and 1 for the boat trip to Bai Tu Long bay in Halong international cruise port) instead of 1 package (seaplane and boat trip at the same port/marina) We have contacted you on the booking. We asked you to add WhatsApp so that we can support you quickly during the trip since on thru the booking, it takes you more time to load the messages. You said you were using a company phone and you were not allowed by your company to download app like WhatsApp on the company phone. And that phone number even did not work for phone call. You did not have personal phone number. So basically we cannot you directly. On the date the port was crowded. We offered a free transfer. While you were on the wait to Tuan Chau for the seaplane flight, our crew informed that the flight was delayed because of bad weather. We had to contact you thru the driver to inform that: we will not have enough time to do both bookings and you were going to miss 1 of 2 - the seaplane or the boat trip, due to the cloudy weather we were not sure if the flight was going to be cancelled, and if yes, the flight would be not really nice. You would choose one and we would refund the other. You chose the boat trip and our driver took you back to the port to check in the boat trip. Our boat receptionist was in touch with the driver since you had no direct contact. We did cancel and refund the seaplane flight for you as your request. We tried our best in our posibility, and we do hope your/guest's understanding and support also Best regards, Luong (Ms) - Vietnam Operator (Phone/Zalo/ WhatsApp: +84 971207118, email: localtoursasia@gmail.com)
This is an amazing experience, which is also offered by cruise ships at an inflated price. Our ship had this excursion sold out, but we went privately and arrived just before our ship's guests finished their flight. Unfortunately for them, it was cloudy, but it was bright sunshine when we flew. Ms. Luong was fantastic. She kept in touch with us and arranged a private transfer from the ship, and return, for free. Everything was very professional and the 25-minute flight was perfect. Everyone on the plane got great views and had ample opportunity to take photos. These are views that you just don't get at sea level, so it is far superior flying, than sailing. I highly recommend this trip when in Ha Long, it is great value for money,
Thanks so much for your feedback, Kevin Moore We are so happy that you enjoyed the 25-Minutes Halong Bay Sightseeing Seaplane from the Sky Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong
