The way to do Ha Long Bay - Minh gave great friendly and personal service. He took care of everything and explained as much as I wanted. Food was very good and served as fast or slow as I wanted. I took the premium with up to 4 guests. Highly recommended!!

Perfect Day on the water - Our private day trip with Emeraude Cruises in Ha Long Bay was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we stepped aboard, the entire crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and relaxed. The boat itself was beautiful and comfortable, but what truly made the experience exceptional was the incredible crew. They were not only professional and attentive but also so wonderful with our kids (ages 8 and 11). From engaging them in fun activities to making sure they were always safe and smiling, the staff treated them like VIPs. Our kids are still talking about how much fun they had—and that’s saying something! The cruise was smooth and well-paced, with breathtaking views and plenty of time to explore and relax. The food was fresh and delicious, and every detail was handled with care and thoughtfulness. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommend Emeraude Cruises for families or anyone looking for a truly special way to see Ha Long Bay!

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!
