Fun trip and nice boat - The boat itself was very nice. Our group was small, we had a lot of free space. The lunch consist of a good selection of seafood, meat and veg options. Drinks are not included but you can purchase them. Similar to hotel prices. The trip was fun and we got to see a lot in a short time. Kayaking was fun but be cautious on the boats as they don't pay attention to you and you can easily get hit. The trip to tip top moutain was quite narrow and steep with lots of ppl. The view was worth it though. The jacuzzi was a nice bonus after all the hiking. The staff and guide was very nice throughout the trip.

Great! - We loved the experience. Mickey was our guide, full of professionalism and sense of humor. Willing to help with whatever we needed. The rest of the staff on board were also lovely. The cruise is a charming experience, being able to see the sunset in the bay, take a swim, do some activity and a short excursion... Very happy with our choice!

Enjoy Halong Bay - I think this is the best tour for those who can speak basic English. We participated as a family of 5, including 3 elementary school children. -All the meals were delicious and well-prepared. -The children were able to fully participate in the canoeing, cave hiking, squid fishing, and other experiences and enjoyed themselves. -The view of Halong Bay from the room changed over time, so we never got bored. -The bay was calm, so we didn't get seasick at all.

Ha long Bay cruise - drawbacks - Overall ok. Comfortable, clean boat. Nice food. Drawbacks - cruise is a bit too long. Timeschedule not respected. We arrived back in Hanoi after 10 PM. In some spots we stayed too long from my perspective. They are very crowded spots - on our return, in addition to being late driver stopped for 30 minutes on the highway at a kind of store to buy stuff and eat This we didn t like. Noone from the bus liked it. We were all anxios to get back to the city where there are plenty of better options for eating
