Your vlogs are such a treat to watch. Love the editing, music, drone shots and b-roll -all thoughtfully and artfully done! Thanks again for sharing your world. Brings back great memories of my own Ha Long trip 20 years ago.

[@KeithandDev]

Thank you so much Lise :) your comment means so much to us

[@howardfox4400]

Much better than the 1000 Island boat tour back in Kingston.......lol

I don’t know about that! :) we’ll have to try it out then compare

[@doodahgurlie]

Hey, this is a PG-rated channel, no glowing cheeks allowed! We're all blind, BTW. LOL! What a beautiful day you guys had on this tour. Some people complain of trash on the water or beach, did you guys see any?

[@KeithandDev]

Hahahah lol 😂 it was absolutely a beautiful day. We did see some trash, stirofoam floating around for example, not too much to be honest, definitely more in the Mekong. Thanks for watching!! 😊

[@TheEddyrose1]

Another great video! Very nice drone footage which I enjoyed a lot. Beautiful country, the blooper at the end was funny, I rate it X, for Xcellent 🤨! You guys are great.

[@robertkrein8016]

Great vlog. So inspiring that we started to plan our trip.to Vietnam and this bay too. Was it fine to fly your drone frome the cruise? Thank you.

[@KeithandDev]

That’s awesome! You will love Vietnam :) we did it once the boat was anchored and it was totally fine from the roof :)

[@robertkrein8016]

@@KeithandDevthank you for your answer. I`d love to do sunset shots there with the drone but i guess the other guest are pretty annoyed by these noisy mosquitos

[@nguyenlinh-nm4hl]

Thank you to come my hometown best wishes in lunar new year

[@KeithandDev]

Happy lunar new year! You have a lovely hometown :)

[@janicegraham3425]

Hello from Ottawa. I really enjoyed your video. We are heading out to South East Asia in Jan and after watching your video, we will probably go to Lan Ha Bay.

[@KeithandDev]

We are so happy you enjoyed our video Janice! :) that’s so exciting you are heading there in January you will love it! Lan Ha Bay is a great alternative that we think is equally as beautiful! :)

[@viniciusvoon8564]

❤

[@rizanics]

How amazing video, I hope i can go there soon but i need some information how to get there if i start from Hanoi, so few people review this place cz almost all of tourist only review halong bay

[@KeithandDev]

We are so happy you liked our video :) we really loved lan ha bay

[@jamchris98]

Where do you leave your cash/credit cards, etc when you go kayaking and swimming?

[@KeithandDev]

You can leave them on the boat or take them with you in a dry sack. We always have two small dry sacks for this by Side by Side Gear. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@jocelynvelasquez8931]

Did you have to apply for a permit to use the drone? If so, do you need one before you arrive at the country and whether or not it was easy and affordable?

[@KeithandDev]

We asked our guide and followed regular drone flying precautions. They have drone regulation which aren’t enforced but they also aren’t possible to follow (applying for a permit weeks before a single drone flight at a heavy cost with no guarantee response).

[@timothyclark8765]

What month did you go. I want to go maybe April 2025

[@KeithandDev]

We went in June and it was nice but hot so i bet april would be nice :)

[@aarthy.g1258]

Hello! May i know if the swimming spot is feasible or doable for 100 percent non swimmers?

[@KeithandDev]

I would say if you feel comfortable swimming in a life jacket yes. But you can not touch the ground so it depends on your comfort with swimming.

[@asiagulcz_jmg]

Where did you take the boat from?

[@KeithandDev]

We got the boat from Cat Ba Island :)
