Traveler Reviews
I had the best time, the crew was very welcoming and the activities were worth while. Amazing Views!!
Maybe tie small boats in stead of people holding them when you go or come from bigger boat
A beautiful day trip definitely worth considering (subject to the point below). The boat Serenity is beautiful, amazing staff, and a lovely buffet. The trip to Viet Hai and village cycle was fun as was the swimming and kayaking off the boat. Point to Note: Be prepared for a long journey 3-4hrs if traveling from Hanoi - 3 hour bus, then speed boat, then another bus doing hotel pickups on Cat Ba, then another boat to the main boat. Our guide Billy did a great job managing all the transport.
There was so much packed in to this day. The short cycle ride around Cat Ba was beautiful and the fish pedicure was a whole new experience There was plenty of watersports, kayak, swimming, slide off the boat and banana boat which were great fun and well supervised The only downside is the travelling. We left Hanoi at 7 am arriving back around 9:15 pm. It was four hours to get there and almost 5 hours to get home. It felt like a pretty long day and my only recommendation would be to do two days and one night on this trip
this trip to lan ha bay was spectacular. breathtaking views, fun activities and easy transportation. highlight oc the trip was the friendly and interesting tour and smooth organisation by our guide Billy. would 100% recommend. the group size is quite big so it can get busy, although well managed by Billy.
Everything went super smooth despite all the means of transportation you gotta take to get to the cruise ship. It’s all worth the effort, the views on the cruise are amazing and the experience is just wonderful. Our guide Binh (Billy) has got to be the cherry on top, he is very well informed about everything, tells interesting stories and is just so funny! Would recommend 10/10!
The cruise was the highlight of our trip, and Binh, our guide, was the best part. There were a lot of logistics and everything went incredibly smooth. Lan Ha bay is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been and we were one of the only boats out there. It truly is an awesome day and you should book this trip!
I’m usually super picky, so I searched through tons of cruises in Ha Long, checked reviews, photos, everything… and when I found this one, I realized I wanted to visit Lan Ha Bay with fewer tourists. And honestly, I’m 200% happy with my choice! Our boat was the only one in the bay! Our guide, Binh, was amazing, he shared interesting stories about the “Only Woman Island,” made jokes, and was really attentive. As a non-native English speaker, I could understand him very well. Even though we had a few transfers, the transportation was comfortable, the boat was great, the staff were lovely, the fo
It was amazing! Absolutely beautiful new liner, food was great (seafood, meat, veggies and fruits & desserts). The activities are very smartly organised and it was simply amazing!
Amazing! Billy was the best tour guide, he made the day extra fun and special. LAN Ha Bay is incredible, being on the water and exploring Cat Ba Island was a highlight of my trip! Will be recommending to friends that visit Vietnam :)
This was quite a complicated travel day. I reckon it had 13 elements, but it all worked seamlessly. thos would be impossible to organize on your own. Oh and by the way, it was luxurious, beautiful and brilliant value. A truly memorable day.
Amazing experience! Our guide Binh was super engaging, helpful and informative. He made us laugh while also sharing some interesting insights about Vietnam, its culture and way of life. He made sure that all of us in the group left with a deeper appreciation for Vietnam. And we did. The activities were conducted really well. The cruise was great too! The food was quite delicious and we had a beautiful relaxing time soaking in the breathtaking scenery.
