Excellent! This is the trip you want. - Incredible experience. The staff were exceptional - they were attentive, polite, and were happy to engage in conversation if you wanted to talk. Even in the face of a very difficult guest, all the staff went out of their way to accommodate the guest with the utmost respect. The food was incredible - the quality, the quantity, and the presentation. I've never eaten so well or so much. The excursions were perfect for the small group size, and it felt like we were with friends. Being in the quieter part of the bay was perfect - no other boats, just peace and quiet. I highly recommend this trip for everyone wanting a more personal experience. Big shout out to Win, Lily, Morning, and Mr T for their exceptional commitment to their guests.

2 day, 1 night cruise Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong bay. - The pick up was well organised and a comfortable coach transferred us from our hotel in Hanoi to the boat terminal were we were met at the door and escorted all the way through the process of boarding the tender to ferry us to our cruise. We were given a welcome drink and briefed on the itinerary before checking into our room. The room was exceptionally large and nicely furnished and we had a large balcony with 2 loungers and a table with 2 chairs. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed a really nice lunch, followed by an afternoon Kayak ( or you could choose to go in a rowed boat) to a floating village. As you can see from my photo there were very few other boats around us ( maybe 2 /3) After some time to relax we had a cooking demonstration and happy hour cocktails. The menu for dinner was excellent and some of the best food I have had in Vietnam ( and I have spent a lot of time online researching for the best places to eat in each place we have visited). After dark squid fishing was fun and there was a very sociable atmosphere on board. Early Ti chi and breakfast followed by a trip to a cave system . My only disappointment was the very early departure before 11:30 as the second days lunch was squeezed in as brunch .

Very good! - Halong bay was spectacular this cruise trip was great value for money as well. The boat was not really luxury but clean in traditional style. The staff on board were friendly and the guide was informative. The transportation were perfect by Limousine luxury. Highly recommend!

spectacular bay - It is just endless spectacular views when we did this cruising trip on the very nice weather. Halong Bay is one of the most spectacular bay in the world. The hundreds of limestone islands, caves, small beach, and lagoons…were brilliant. The rowing trip around Vung Vieng floating village was interesting!

Highly recommend! - We I recently took a cruise trip in Bai Tu Long bay. We tried our first Kayaking tour around floating villages where amazing scenery & calm. It was so much fun and such a great way to see the bay in my own. Our cruise manager, was the most knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!

Unreliable and Unprofessional – Ruined Our Trip - If I could give this cruise 0 stars, I would. We booked our cruise and received a confirmation email with the ticket attached—everything seemed set. Based on that confirmation, we booked flights to Cat Bi Airport, confident that our plans were secure. Then, out of nowhere, we received an email saying there were no rooms available. Instead of offering a reasonable solution, they simply gave us two unacceptable choices: move our cruise to five days later (which completely disrupts our plans) or get a refund—without any regard for the additional costs we incurred. We’ve traveled the world for years, and this is by far the worst service we’ve ever encountered. Their careless and unprofessional handling of this situation has not only ruined part of our vacation but also cost us non-refundable airfare for our entire family. It’s clear they do not care about their customers or the consequences of their actions. Avoid this company unless you want your travel plans thrown into chaos.
