General Regulations and Important Notes
Because Halong Bay is a World Natural Heritage Site and the marine environment is very sensitive, guests need to comply with the following regulations:
Halong Bay has a very unique beauty even when it rains (a hazy beauty like a watercolor painting). The ship will still depart normally if the Bay Management Board grants permission. In the event of storms or high winds causing a sea ban to be announced, Otis will assist guests in changing their departure date or refunding 100% as committed. You can completely rest assured about your financial benefits.
Even floating in the middle of the sea, the Wi-Fi system on Otis Cruise is optimized to serve basic connection needs. However, in some hidden areas between large limestone islands, the signal may flicker a bit. If you need an important livestream or online meeting, it is recommended to use additional personal 4G to ensure the most stable bandwidth.
If you do not use the company's Limousine, please be present at Lot 20 - Tuan Chau International Port before 11:30 am. At the port, there is a safe parking lot for cars and motorbikes (charges apply according to port regulations). Otis staff will welcome you at the lobby to check-in.
Otis's journey is a combination of movement and rest. If grandparents or close guests do not want to climb the 400 stone steps at Ti Top or visit the cave, they can absolutely choose to stay on the ship to enjoy the air-conditioned restaurant space, relax in the Jacuzzi or admire the view from the Sundeck. This is a "Soft Adventure" journey (gentle exploration) so it is very friendly for all ages.
If you finish the tour and go straight to the airport or to another province, Otis has a safe luggage storage area for guests right on the ship or at the waiting office at the port. However, to facilitate moving between attractions such as caves or islands, you should only bring a small bag containing necessary personal items (sunscreen, swimsuit, camera).
Absolutely yes. Otis prides itself on its ability to personalize the culinary experience. Whether you are vegetarian, Gluten-free or Halal, just notify the consulting team in advance when booking the tour, 5-star chefs will prepare separate meals, delicately presented and guaranteed to be as nutritious as the main menu.
Tuyệt vời nào.
