The luxurious new boat was excellent; the food was fresh and delicious, the restrooms were clean, and the service was good. The day was shrouded in mist, making Ha Long Bay resemble a traditional Chinese ink painting. After gliding through the tunnels, the bamboo raft entered the lush green waters surrounded by mountains, a truly relaxing experience. Perhaps because our boat arrived at the various attractions early, we didn't encounter any crowds – a very enjoyable day trip! Definitely worth a visit!
For the most luxurious cruise in Ha Long Bay, choose the Dolphin. The service is exceptionally warm and welcoming, with Chinese-speaking staff available throughout the cruise. The itinerary is well-planned, and the buffet offers a wide variety of options. There's also a live music performance on deck at 4 PM – a truly exciting experience!
Thao was wonderful. we enjoyed the tour very much but however it was a somewhat physically demanding tour which wasn't suitable for everyone. the scenery in halong bay was simply tranquil and beautiful. the reason for only giving 4 stars was due to the (engine issue, as we were told) accident with the boat.
I traveled solo, and overall, it was very good. First, regarding transportation. I had some issues with the hotel, so I contacted them via WhatsApp at 1 AM to change hotels. They responded early the next morning and picked me up in front of the new hotel. Thank you for accommodating my rescheduling. I chose the limousine bus. It was about six rows of 2-1, with a wall-mounted charging port that supported USB A and C. I was able to charge my phone without any issues on the way there and back. I wanted to share this information so I don't have to carry a heavy battery. The itinerary was very efficient and well-organized. We stopped at service areas along the way, but many of the stalls don't accept cards, so it's a good idea to bring cash. The other participants were one Japanese couple, two Indian couples, and a Westerner. Since I was traveling alone, I didn't talk much, but I was able to communicate easily in English, even borrowing and lending charging cables.
The two-day, one-night cruise was filled with delicious meals and activities, comfortable and spacious rooms, and friendly staff. In particular, Mr. Lam, the tour guide, provided enthusiastic and energetic explanations and photography services, making the trip even more perfect.
