Exceptional - I am very happy to have made this trip on Halong Bay it was great!!! We stayed one night on the boat, the cabin was very clean and big enough in a boat. (No engine noise as I dread or otherwise) we slept super well. We had two lunches, breakfast and dinner and each time we were super well served, a wide choice, we bring you different plates at table with a lot of variety. Everything was very good. At the beginning of the trip, you are asked if you have a special diet. The people on board are very nice and we had a great guide!! For the activities, we had the chance to see monkeys during a ride on another small boat, then in the afternoon, visiting an island with swimming at the end, then the second day, visiting the caves. During these rides you are free, you just have a schedule to keep for the return. For the recreative people in terms of the number of people on the boat, we were a 15n person and you have a lot of space and you are not on each other at all. Thank you for everything and I recommend 100%.

Happy trip with lavender cruise and bobby - The trip was amazing. Our tour guide , Bobby, was fantastic. He was kind, helpful, informative and made the experience wonderful. The rest of the crew was really nice too. The boat was better than we expected. Nice room. The food was exquisite with a lot of different dishes and always more than enough quantity.

Stunning Scenery, Lots of Tourists - Everything you've heard about Halong Bay is true ... absolutely breathtaking scenery, but overrun with tourists. This cruise had a small number of people, fewer than twenty, so when we were dining and onboard the vessel it felt more cozy. Bobby the tour guide was excellent and attentive. Great food, great service, and one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Incredible! - Highlight of our trip to Vietnam! We traveled as a couple, but also family friendly if you wish. Our guide and cabin crew were so kind and helpful! And our boat was a newer one which was a plus, too. And buy 2 get 3 drink deals for 2 hours at night as well. Overall a fabulous experience! Definitely recommend.

My Lavender cruise trip - At the beginning of the trip Alex the tour guide took my kids passports for 45 mins out of my sight. When I asked where are they went he told me he sent them with the captain who’s on shore checking information. He couldnt explain to me why it had to go to shore and kept saying trust me. The other problem was he took us in a boat to go kayaking which in the end was canoeing but doesn’t tell us that we could go in a boat tour as well, when another passenger stayed behind thinking we were only canoeing. No of us took our cameras, money, water or anything cuz we thought we were going canoeing then he takes us to a mountain to hike up 250 stairs. When I told him I became dehydrated he said this is all small issues. He asked if I could write a better review on trip advisor. Absolutely not he was terrible. Other than that the boat was clean and nice inside. Staffing was friendly and lots of food to eat.

Hence I am not Recommended this cruise for every one..
