Very good experience - Very good experience. The boat was fine even though I thought it was a cruise ship, and the staff at it was very friendly and polite and tried to communicate with us, even though we didn't talk the same. I liked the excursions and enjoyed them, as well as the cooking courses.

Narcotic drugs - Two days cruising with clear weather and light breeze top Thanks to our great koet guide we did not do the traditional cruise (300 to 400) boats per week Sunset and sunrise (early) remains an unforgettable memory on the thai chi in the morning ideal to approach the visit of the cave and discover a small white sandy beach facing a breathtaking landscape Personnel on board zen Bemol the city of gaming (building hotel no charm beach the choice condom or syringe especially near the lighthouse)

Breathtaking - The scenery was breathtaking. A full itinerary was planned, with a visit to the beach, hike to the observation tower, cooking class and visit to the surprise cave. The crew were incredible and very service-oriented. Tim Tam was our guide and was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. This was a highlight of our trip!

A well organised trip to a beautiful area - Very well organised pick-up system from hotels. the boat was a bit "tired" - it looked like it had been quite grand in the past. Halong Bay is beautiful but sadly the rubbish in the water marred the beauty somewhat. the visit was very time driven and if you wanted to kayak or swim on the second day you had to be ready to leave by 07.00 - it was quite cold and grey so not very enticing. Don't expect to drink much alcohol as it is VERY expensive but he food was good.

2 day Halong bay tour - The cruise boat and staff were absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide, Long, was very friendly, interactive and knowledgeable. The scenery was stunning. The boat was well maintained and steady, didn’t feel like being on a boat. The prices on board were quite expensive and very little water was supplied, so definitely take plenty of water. The tours was designed for a relaxing time, low level of fitness required. The tours were beautiful places however we were constantly competing with hundreds of other tourists - walking up steps or through the caves. The kayaking was the best tour by far as it gave you lots of peace and space.

Expensive compared to what you can... - <p>Expensive compared to what you can get in Hanoi with travel agencies. There were no kayaks on the tour and we had to rent it for an extra. The guide was not very useful. The staff was however friendly. The food was OK.</p>

Frankly I expected something else!!! - We sailed on the Bhaya junk. The bay was covered with air pollution. On the sea floated everything, plastic bottles, insulated boxes, bits of rope.... the bay is crossed daily by a noria of container doors, cargo ships that transport coal, hydrocarbons with the nuisances that go with it!!! On this so-called luxury junk, no hygiene. The table sets are stained, the food is really irrelevant. The duvet covers are clean, but the duvet itself has kept the DNA of all previous occupants.... Stupid! We even had a visit from a very beautiful rat who was in the cockpit. Cooking class consists only of rolling a nem. What a disappointment, moreover, the UNESCO heritage listing seems to be in question at the moment, but it does not seem to move the leaders. Our trip from February 16 to March 2, Vietnamese mosaic from ASIA.
