Thank you for making our visit to Ha Long Bay truly memorable. We highly recommend Taliya Cruise and hope to come back again in the future.
First time on a cruise in Vietnam. Despite the weather it was a great time in Ha Long Bay. The boat is clean and well maintained. The food was decent quality, the prawn spring rolls were my favourite. Daria was our server and did an awesome job.
Beautiful experience, the guide was incredible and the staff too, we had Finn as waiter and he’s been amazing!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable day from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay! This tour exceeded every expectation! From the moment we left Hanoi, everything was perfectly organized, making the journey comfortable and stress-free. Arriving at the breathtaking Ha Long Bay felt like stepping into a postcard, with its magnificent limestone karsts rising from the emerald-green waters. The cruise was fantastic, the scenery was simply spectacular, and every stop offered something special. Exploring the caves, cruising through the bay, and taking in the incredible views created memories we'll cherish forever. The staff and
A wonderful cruise. Everything was absolutely as expected and the staff were lovely. We were looked after by Finn and our Guide Allan. The boat was lovely and they even supplied beach towels.
