Beautiful place, lovely cruise - Beautiful part of Vietnam and fun experiences. Giang and Didi were both particularly helpful and kind. They made our experience so much better. The cruise is comfortable with good food. We would have enjoyed more physical activities but enjoyed kayaking and exploring caves.

Amazing Ha Long bay trip - The 24 hour trip to Ha Long bay was incredible and Minh the main guide was super helpful. Frustratingly we had grey skies but that couldn’t be helped! We did see all the sights, caves, pearl farm (fascinating) and the beach. The food was amazing and plentiful. The crew all made us feel very welcome and we sat on the boat at night squid fishing!

Premium Halong bay tour 3D2N (private boat) - The views were amazing. Staff was very hospitable and had a completely set itinerary for us. (You don’t get to choose where you go at all but for the most part that is ok because Halong bay is huge) Ruby and the chef, and navigation were all incredible and very polite. I especially enjoyed them allowing us to squid fish with them on the second night. We caught 6!

Very relaxed and nice trip with a friendly crew. - The trip with the crew around Minh was a lot of fun. We were very well looked after and everyone was super friendly. The bay is very worth seeing (despite cloudy skies). The food on board (I had vegetarian) was very good and prepared with a lot of love.

Cruising with the Min - Excellent day with Ruby and the crew of the Min cruise ship. Weather was not great but everyone made our day perfect. Weather would highly recommend this tour if you are on a time limit.
