Low Dragon Bay cruise experience, SST Travel arrange professional and safe - This time with SST Travel, the entire experience was very satisfied. The itinerary is clearly arranged, from boarding the boat to the end is smooth, the attitude of the staff is kind, detailed instructions make people feel comfortable.
The boat itself is clean and comfortable, the deck view is good, the gray rock view of the Lagoon Bay is really spectacular, and how to take pictures is beautiful. The meals on board are also better than expected, enough portions and good taste. The whole journey is at a good pace, not too fast, and there is plenty of time to take photos and relax and enjoy the scenery.
Overall, the CP value is high and is suitable for travellers who come to Lagoon Bay for the first time. If you come back later, you will be willing to choose SST Travel again and will also recommend it to friends

Good experience with SST Travel - It was great, must-try. SST travels is the best. They communicated well in advance for the pickup and drop and also provided luxury limousine vans for travel to and fro from Hanoi-Halong Bay-Hanoi.

Oriental Cruise Experience at Halong Bay for 1N 2D Trip - I have very good experience with Oriental cruise for Halong Bay trip. My length of visit was for 1N 2D. The tour guide Mr. Bin guided us and managed the whole tour in very good way. Also, less crowd in the cruise make the atmosphere more attractive. Considering the admission fee compared to other cruises, I recommended Oriental Cruise every one.

A good time for us - Aaron has arranged for us to stay on Catherine Cruise which is a nice cruise offering comfortable stay and nice food. We have enjoyed our trip and the relaxing time on the cruise. The most exciting moment was the fine dining during which the restaurant celebrated birthdays, anniversary and honey moons for a few couples. The song and the music were great and we are impressed by the decoration, cake and pops prepared by the restaurant.

A great Ha Long Bay cruise experience - We initially booked the Hermes Cruise through EZ Travel, but later the supplier contacted us via WhatsApp to inform us that it was fully booked and suggested switching to another cruise.
We would like to thank Aaron from SST Travel for recommending the Calista Cruise. The ship was very new, with great facilities and good food. The staff were young, friendly, and attentive, and the cave tour explanations were very professional.
Aaron was proactive and helpful throughout the process, and he also reminded us of the schedule in advance, which made us feel reassured.
Overall, however, we were very satisfied with this Ha Long Bay cruise experience. We also feel that Vietnam is a country well worth exploring and traveling in.

Amazing time - We had a great time on the cruise with Starlight. Dolphin was amazing. The room was spacious and clean and the food was great and we were never left hungry. We started by going to Sung Sot Cave with our tour guide. From here we went to Titop Island where we hiked and went for a swim on the beach. In the evening we went Squid Fishing and enjoyed dinner followed by karaoke with our new friends. Early the next morning we had the option to do Thai Chi and then went kayaking around the caves. Would 100% recommend
