We had a private tour around Halong with Thomas and later dinner at the Dragon Pearl Cave. We spent time at the museum, local market and the temple. We had crab pho for lunch which we enjoyed and later yogurt with pearl boba which we equally enjoyed. Our original stay in Vietnam is booked for Hanoi. My family wanted to visit Halong and do a Halong bay cruise AND the Dragon Pearl Dinner. Instead of traveling twice to Halong from Hanoi, we opted to stay overnight in Halong. I'm so grateful that Katie could assist me in booking a one way transport from Hanoi so I could make our schedule work. The

Halong International Cruise Port
The price does not cover drinks not included in meals, tips and personal expenses, any services not mentioned and massage services (optional). 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.
