The trip was great! Bai Tu Long Bay and Ha Long Bay are amazing! Amazing place to visit and soak in the nature. We did the 3 day 2 night cruise and this was just magical. Would recommend!

We were looking for a little more remote and peaceful Cruise, and this was it! Stunning towering karst, beautiful bays, amazing food, culture and kayaking. Also very nice accomodations. The entire experience was outstanding, I wouldn't hesitate to do this trip again. On the second day, you transfer to a slightly smaller boat, which can navigate the channels between the pinnacles better. It's a very comfortable boat, with a bar, yummy lunch and upper deck lounge/viewing platform. If you're looking for a more serene experience, beautiful landscapes, great food and lovely accommodations, look no

We had such a fantastic Trip on our 2 Nights Cruise! I can 1000% recommend this trip and would advise everyone to book 2 nights (instead of 1) to get the best experience! Everything was excellently organized, communication was beyond expectations, our Tourguides (Mike, Sunday and Tony) did an amazing job and the staff on the cruise was exceptionally great! Everyone was so welcoming and everyone did an amazing job (special thanks also to Hana who checked in regularly on us)! Overall we had a brilliant experience, in a stunning & peaceful scenery (no crowded bays), perfect balance between activi

The views, the food and the friendly staff was great, 1st full day on the boat was not as great as we were transfered to a small day boat while the ship went back to port to pick up fresh passengers, still was not a bad day, loads of great scenery. overall a great experience.

Kenny our guide during the cruise was fantastic, enthusiastic and with a great sense of humour. We loved the extra night and visiting the floating fishing village and kayaking in the less busy areas of the bay. It was just six of us versus the first day with the people only doing the one night cruise, it was carnage on the kayaks and not much of a journey like the second day. The staff were super friendly, the room was spacious and clean and the food was impressive for every meal ranging from 7 to 8 course meals. Fantastic experience. We just wished the bay was cleaner, there was so much rubbi

lovely cruise to a quieter part of the bay. guide was friendly and informative. kayaking was nice but quite long distances, there was an option to ride on the tender instead. caves were great and the fishing village was a real highlight. the food was excellent and drinks reasonably priced. the room was cosy and comfortable.

Nice experience. Smaller more familiar boat and not as touristic as Halong bay.
