2 day cruise - It's such an amazing experience going on that cruise. It's so peaceful. The tour guide, Cong, was the best tour guide ever so ask for this tour guide. He was so funny and made this a whole different experience. What I have to flag is that the viator website itself needs to update the location of this cruise as it's not in Tuan Chau island. Because of the departure location we booked a hotel in Tuan Chau instead of international cruise port and we had to take a taxi.They said to me that this will be updated on the website and it never. so be careful with the website and not the cruise itself.

HaLong Bay Cruise Phenomenal! - This cruise was phenomenal! The service was extraordinary. The staff were very attentive, competent and very friendly. Daniel was an excellent tour guide and Jenny and Lily were so friendly and attentive in the dining room. The ship was clean and our room was very comfortable. We would do this tour again in a heartbeat. I wish they offered a longer cruise, we would have done it! Thank you!

Take the 2 night option! You won’t regret it! - We could not have had a better trip to Ha Long Bay and I would advise everyone to take the 2 night option! We have just had the best trip! From start to finish, the boat, the sights and the staff were all memorable. Our main guide, Daniell was just the best. He was so knowledgeable about our destinations and spoke about everything with both pride and enthusiasm. The food onboard was excellent with so much variety that there was something for everyone. Be aware, that with the two day option, you leave the main boat for your full day out. This concerned me a little, but our day trip boat was well appointed. They had toilets and showers onboard, lots of places to relax in sun or shade and air conditioned lounges if you wanted a break from the heat. Our day trip guide was equally good. Ha Long Bay has many, many boats, but only on the 2 day trip do you get to go into zone three, were you will feel like your group is the only one there, in an unspoilt paradise. All of the little trips ashore were great and the scenery is stunning. We also enjoyed the squid fishing at night. The only downside is that the trip still isn’t long enough. If there was a four day option, we would take that. An excellent trip!

A full-day experience in... - A full-day experience in Hạ Long Bay. It had everything. A bus ride to reach the port. A cruise through the bay among the small islands. Kayaking in caves. A stop at an island where you can hike to the top and enjoy the view from above. Swimming at the island’s beach. A good lunch. A jacuzzi on the upper deck. Beautiful sights along the way. A very good package for those who don’t have much time, as it offers a bit of everything.

I really wanted to like this.... - I really wanted to like this! I love boats and cruises in general and have been on quite a few variations. GOOD: The room was decent. I paid for the bigger room with balcony. Air conditioning was pretty decent. The room was pretty big considering we were on a boat. The dinner was nice enough and actually served to you. I also enjoyed the quick cooking lesson on spring rolls. The dining staff were also quite nice. BAD: Check in and departure were so chaotic. On check in - we were outside in 30 degrees plus for around 45 mins, before going into a small tenfer boat that was very squashed and nearly a 30 min tender journey - with no ore explanation of how long it would be. The lunch was very bad and buffet etiquette by some other group passengers was very bad and not well managed by staff. Breakfast was a similar chaotic experience. Much of the boat was quite dated - there was a big cigarette burn on our outside chair on the balcony etc. I didn't actually expect 5 stars like described - however it was pretty far below. Return from the boat was a similar uncomfortable experience. If you're looking for relaxing - this is not it. So much so we didn't do any of the extra curricular activities such as kayaking - as we took the boarding and lunch as a sign of how chaotic it was going to be. I purposely booked a more expensive option than other alternatives, as we wanted a more relaxing time. That being said - Ha Long Bay is nice and worth seeing. But manage your expectations on what this will be.
