    Mate, the drone shots are sooo beautiful!

      Thank you, I suppose the beautiful area helps too. Tested the new drone out yesterday and it looks absolutely amazing. Can't wait to show the footage. The night mode on it blew my mind.

    We love your honesty, as far as foods, “5 star,” the honey wine, etc. Much appreciated.

      Thank you, that's how we always set out to be about these things, can only say how we found things really.

    Love the music for your swimming adventure, lol! Quite the jump, there, Jamie - we would have both probably gone the Jacqui route. 😊

      🤣🤣 yes quite appropriate for my epic jump and Jacqui's elegant dip into the water

    Outstanding video. Finally one that was a real experience and not all roses without the thorns. I have been watching tons of Ha Long Bay videos and they all seem to offer pretty much the exact same activities, with the major differences being room size and the food. Even when advertised as 5 star, most failed to show me that they were actually 5 star. Your video cemented my choice to go with a more expensive ship based on your experience. Thank you, very much for your help

      Thank you very much Dorothy. Yes we always set out to do true honest accounts of our experiences when travelling as not everything is great. I think its good to highlight the rough with the smooth, gives things real balance. I think the activities on our cruise seemed a bit different to the ones we've seen with a different cave and beach included. Ours didn't have that but we thought it did. Not to worry.

    Looked a wonderful experience. Certainly more expensive than I thought It was going to be. Some great drone footage 🙂

      Yes it was good, just a shame the ship wasn't a bit better, especially as it was meant to be 5*.
      However, the staff were so lovely and couldn't really do enough for us. The positives probably outweighed the negatives.
      Been getting a new drone and been testing it out tonight, it's absolutely outstanding. I'm blown away by the quality of it.

      I saw you got the amazing new mini4 pro. I currently use the mini3 pro, which I'm really pleased with...@@continentalcoxons

      They certainly do, especially after he disappointing food. Just what I needed 😊

    Great video I think the fact it was sold to you as 5 star raises your expectations and you expect to be wowed ( if that’s a word) 😂 I hope the hotel your going to next is more luxury and proper 5 star ⭐️ looking forward to finding out 😊 thank you again for these videos 🫶

      Thanks for the lovely comments Vanessa. Yes i agree with you and always looks much better in the pics they show you to sell a trip. It's a Shane we didn't really have much time to really hunt about for a trio because there are some fabulous ones. We did everything spontaneously on this trip pretty much so we didn't leave ourselves with much availability. Hey Ho, it was still something we wanted to do and would've regretted it had we not.

      Horrible creatures. They looked so evil in the jar with their green eyes and menacing faces.

    Nice video, appreciate the honest reviews. In the video, it looks like some of the footages were filmed by a drone. Did you fly a drone for these footages? If so, would you share your experience of flying drone in Vietnam? Did you need to have a permit and a like? How was the experience of bring drone through the custom when entering the country? Thanks.

      @user-dy5do1bb1c hello, thank you for the lovely comments on our videos.
      With our drone, we never had any problems. All our drone footage was ours. If you are considering taking a drone, it is not best not to film too much in cities as they are so sobered military areas and they may confiscate your drone.
      We never encountered any issues when we were there though, it all seems pretty relaxed.
