This was incredible. I choose to stay for 2 nights and highly recommend to give you time to completely relax and see more of lan ha bay. On the second day of you stay for three - cycling was short but a bit of up hill on the way there - a lot of downhill on the way. That said I got the buggy (electric car) and it was perfect - was definitely less sweaty. The staff able more than incredible and as someone battling a new food restriction close to my 50’s they couldn’t have been more helpful

We had the most amazing time on our trip! We were lucky enough to get a last-minute upgrade, which made our experience even more special. The food was incredible, and the activities and scenery were absolutely stunning. The whole team is so warm and welcoming. Maria was always on hand and looked after every little detail perfectly. Julie, David, Sarah, Tran, Noah, and all the other staff members greeted us with big smiles and made sure we wanted for nothing. A huge thank you to everyone for making this an unforgettable experience! 😍🫶🏻

We thoroughly enjoyed this 2 night, 3 day cruise and would highly recommend it. The food was a real standout — abundant, beautifully presented, and with an impressive variety at every meal. There was always more than enough, and the quality consistently exceeded our expectations. Our room was exactly as advertised. The private balcony and bath made it feel luxurious and relaxing, and everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The crew truly made the experience special — warm, friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Their service was genuine and professional throughout the t
