Full description

This is a 6-hour experience in Ha Long, built around Ha Long Bay. It is run by Nest Asia Travel, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Nagoya is Japan's fourth city and the gateway to the Ghibli Park at Nagakute, opened in 2022 with timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead, to Nagashima Spa Land and its rollercoasters, and to Inuyama, whose castle is one of the twelve original keeps. Nagoya Castle's golden dolphins and the Toyota Commemorative Museum are the city's own sights, and hitsumabushi grilled eel and miso katsu are its food. The Ise Grand Shrine, Shinto's most sacred site, rebuilt every twenty years, is 90 minutes south.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off by limousine, Tour guide, Cruise, Welcome drink and lunch and Sung Sot Cave visit. It does not cover Tips and Additional drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Hotel pickup in Ha Long. Nest Asia Travel confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Nest Asia Travel before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

All good. I had a flight to catch right after and they even helped me with catching a taxi from Aeon mall. Ha Long bay is a bit busier than Lan Ha bay, similar scenary but these tours offer slightly more variety with the sung sot cave and speedboat option (extra 10dollars). PS within the time in Hang Luon you can do speedboat + rowboat or only kayaking (speedboat doesnt go into hang luon).

Our trip was great. We weren’t expecting the huge crowds but it is Christmas holidays and everybody was having fun! Our guide Nate was very nice and looked after all of us.

Two members of our tour group (I did not know them) arrived a bit late to the meet up point in the morning, and our tour guide (Dylan) called them out and "scolded" them in front of the whole bus, which seemed a little bit rude in my opinion - especially as getting somewhere on time in Hanoi might be a bit tricky. After that, the trip itself was wonderful though. Ha Long Bay is one of the most beautiful places I have been to, the food on the ship was great, we enjoyed all of the activities, and the party on the way back with the views of the sunset over the bay was almost magical.

Like the other reviews - we were part of Team Andy aka Linh very cheerful, young and knowledgeable guide. He did a fine job from our pickup till the drop back at hotel. As for the boat - the Stella Cruise it was like in the photos, pretty good and they did disclose upfront that Jacuzzi will be normal water and not hot. The boat was clean and facilities were functional & good for the size of the party. The activities were pretty well managed too. The Luon cave is an amazing experience, Titov climb can be good if less crowded else you'd get on n off very slow. Kayaking and speed boat(extra cost)

Absolutely excellent, the bus was comfortable, the boat was one of the newest and largest cruisers in the bay, buffet lunch was really tasty and our tour guide, Andy, was a lovely chap. Would really recommend!
