The boat felt really luxurious. The activities were basic but nice. You need to keep in mind that there are a LOT of people at the activity spots though. If you don't mind that this will be one of the best cruise ships you will find around halong bay.

Ze waren ons vergeten, verder was het te toeristisch en te druk. De locatie zelf is wel mooi en je zag wel dat de organisatie hun best deed maar het was gewoon te toeristisch

Nos gustó mucho esta excursión. Se hacen muchas cosas y se aprovecha el día al máximo. Nuestro guía fue Nam, súper amable. En nuestro caso partimos de Ninh Binh y volvíamos a Hanoi, y todos los conductores estuvieron siempre atentos a nuestro equipaje y cambios de vehículo. Llegamos con mucha antelación desde Ninh Binh y el capitán del barco salió a recogernos para llevarnos al crucero y que no esperásemos tanto tiempo en el puerto mientras llegaba Nam desde Hanoi con el resto del grupo. Esto fue un gran detalle. La comida está muy bien. En nuestro caso elegimos el paseo en barca de bambú y vi

El momento de puesta de sol mientras navegamos por la bahía, fue mágico. La actividad del kayak y la cueva también fueron muy especiales y el poderte bañar en la bahía aunque estaba masificado es algo curioso. Nuestro guia estuvo muy atento con nosotros y se preocupó de que estuviéramos cómodos y nos mostró su ayuda incluso tras la actividad. Todo perfecto

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Ha Long Bay. TripBestie confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover travel insurance, tax, personal expenses, beverages ordered from the bar and tips for tour guide and driver. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Overnight cruises sleep on board; day cruises do not. Cabins on the boats we book are private with an ensuite bathroom, and the grade of boat is stated in the option you choose rather than left vague. Bay conditions occasionally force an itinerary change, which the operator decides on the morning and is not something we can promise around.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
