It was an incredible cruise that went around the Ha Long Bay area with various activities that was truly enjoyable. We kayaked, swam, hiked up one of the mountains and relaxed throughout the cruise! The sunset party didn’t have much sun because it was a cloudy day, but it was still a great experience!

My boyfriend and I had a lovely time on cruises. The boat was clean and well-managed, and the bed was the comfiest I’ve ever slept in! There were lots of different activities to get involved in, including visiting some caves and squid fishing. The views were amazing and was very relaxing overall. Would recommend!!

This was my first-time visiting Vietnam and and as a 28-year-old. I must say I was very impressed by the beautiful views of the country and especially the beautiful people. I’d highly recommend you visit Halong Bay during your visit.

Nice organized cruise! The staff is very nice and professional! Food was good and the places were cool but too crowdy because it’s tourist period… Overall, it was still a great experience.

Great experience overall. Stunning views, excellent service by the crew. Especially, the main tour guide, Tom, who was a great and kind guide. We had a lot of fun and the pacing of the activities were perfect too. Would definitely do this again and recommend it to my friends and family.
