The price is higher during the December holiday season. A shuttle bus will pick you up from the hotel; if you don't see it, a staff member will immediately ride over to guide you. The scenery on the yacht is beautiful! Although the yacht isn't large and doesn't have much public space, it's clean, retro, and comfortable overall. The staff are also very friendly! They took us to attractions like the Surprise Cave, explaining things thoroughly and even helping us take photos. Some staff members speak a little Chinese. Dinner was delicious! Drinks for two days and one night cost about 700 VND.
This trip started with my wife's words: Let's go to Vietnam for New Year's! We had a really fun trip to Halong Bay! We managed to overcome the language barrier, which worried me, but when we arrived at the kayaking area, I got a little lost because the guide went ahead without explaining anything. I didn't have my ticket at the ticket handover area, so the ticket attendant at the gate told me to leave someone else behind to get my ticket, so I hurried over to get it from the guide. After receiving it, we were able to go kayaking around Halong Bay without any problems! Personally, I'd love to kayak again! 🤤 Thank you!
It was a shame that the weather was cloudy, but overall I was very satisfied. The room was spacious, the shower water was warm, and there was no rocking of the ship at night, so it was easy to sleep. The food was delicious and plentiful, incorporating Vietnamese cuisine. The activities were also very good. The staff were also very helpful. I'm glad I chose this overnight course instead of a day trip. If I had to say something, it would have been nice to have hangers to hang my clothes on.
The entire trip was well planned and the experience was excellent. The hotel pick-up and drop-off service was available both ways, saving travel time. It was definitely worth the trip.
Everything smooth and well organised. Our guide, Son, speaks fluent English and give clear instructions; should be awarded 5 stars.
Beautiful scenery in Halong Bay.
Some safety belts of our bus are not work.
I was worried about being picked up at the hotel, but the large bus arrived on time on the narrow roads and we boarded safely. The guide explained everything very carefully in English, so we were able to participate in the activities without getting lost. The limestone cave was overwhelming, and the bamboo boat ride was thoroughly enjoyable. At the sunset party on board, the guide acted as the entertainer, and everyone enjoyed dancing. It was a very thoughtful tour and a memorable day.
The cruise ship's service and facilities were excellent, and the activities and dining were also fantastic. The views of Ha Long Bay from morning till night made the trip truly worthwhile!
