Best single day tour experience possible
If you're thinking about taking this trip, just go for it. It is ABSOLUTELY worth it. Our guide Johnny was amazing and helped us from the very first second until we were back in our Airbnb. The rest of the crew were also catering to our every need all the time. I can't believe how much is offered for the price we paid. 11/10 recommended.

Great experience, tour guide and food!
We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The drive was long but comfortable. The views and food (I’m vegan) aboard the ship were excellent and so was our tour guide Brian. He provided extra detail and information about the different views and areas we saw. The only downside was there were 1-2 stops on the way there and on the way back, making an already long journey, even longer. Also, only cash is accepted on the ship and throughout the tour.

We had time to visit every spot and to book others activities
Book this tour was the right choice because it´s a really nice boat for only a few people. We had time to visit every spot and to book others activities such as speedboat to discover the island where the movie Kong was filmed. Our guide Kong was the best!

Tour very well organized...
Tour very well organized even though we had a change of ship, they advised us of the new meeting address without starting it would be another ship. But overall, the carnival, the Amethyst or the one we had the casta daily are of the same build and model. Just not enough people to départ the three ship. Our guide Duc was amazing and took very well care of every one on board, even with the activities, except of course the 427 stairs to climb Ti Top Island with a reason! The ship staff also amazing and willing to help with a smile. Our group of 3 all appreciated and strongly recommend these tour.

Highly recommend this...
Highly recommend this tour! It was the perfect mix of downtime and fun activities. Our guide, Nam, was fantastic—super personable, easy to understand, and he made sure to connect with everyone on board.
Transportation was seamless with a very safe driver. We stopped at a pearl farm on the way, which was educational and genuinely low-pressure. The catamaran was incredibly modern for a day-tour boat. I also really appreciated the vibe; they played fun, family-friendly music at a reasonable volume, avoiding the loud party scene of some other boats.
We had an amazing 5-course lunch while cruising, followed by great activities like a bamboo raft ride through a cave, kayaking, swimming, and even a hot tub. They capped off the afternoon with a cooking demo and snacks. Overall, an incredibly scenic and relaxing day trip with excellent service.

Unique tour of Halong Bay by boat
If you are in Halong Bay, everyone should do either a half day or full day tour of the Bay. Visit the limestone pillars, hike to the top of one, explore caves, visit a pearl farm, go on a bamboo boat or kayak and do an optional ride on a speedboat. Maximus travel is great at confirming details with your tourguide the day before so there are no issues with logistics. Highly recommend.

Breath taking
What an amazing day. The entire tour was well planned and executed. From the pick up to drop off there were no wasted time. The boat was clean, the food was amazing and Halong Bay was one of the most beautiful wonders of nature. Viet, the guide, was professional and informative.

Well worth it!
The ship is good, staff super friendly, meal excellent, combo of stops for kayak / boat, cave walk and view climb ending off with sunset 'party' great DJ EDM was so much fun. Best money I spent in Vietnam.
Don't bring plastic water bottles. They will be confiscated. Be prepared to say no to hard sell on pearls and drinks. They bill the latter at the end and can be more than the whole cruise.

Overall a worthwhile tour
Everything with the tour was good, and the sites you see are beautiful! Phong was a good guide; he explained information about Ha Long Bay and Hanoi, and was always clear about logistics (like where we were going and how long it would take to get there). The lunch and snacks provided were delicious. Some of the logistics were unclear from the Viator listing and could have been communicated a little better ahead of time, but the organizers respond very quickly on Whatsapp to all of the questions I had so this wasn’t a problem.

Massage chairs on van to...
Massage chairs on van to boat, perfectly executed experience on a luxurious boat from activity to food to drinks. Plentiful staff willing to help you with anything. Early departure helps avoid all the crowd. It’s like traveling business class for a boat trip! Book this one.

You won't regret this trip!
I had a fantastic time on this trip! Everything was well organized even when it came to the pickup and drop off. The staff was fun and friendly and planned activities. The multi course lunch was a treat and the boat has many viewing areas and hang outs. I give this a 10/10.

The weather today was...
The weather today was really nice, with warm sunshine at noon — a perfect day to enjoy the beautiful views of Hạ Long. I felt really good about this trip. Spending one day in Hạ Long, I got to see the amazing scenery and try some outdoor activities.
The travel company was very thoughtful. They prepared drinking water on the bus, gave us hand towels when getting on the boat, and even provided towels for swimming. They also had hats and sunglasses if you asked for them. For me, that was more than enough.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m happy I chose this tour.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
To fully enjoy the emerald waters and towering limestone islands of Halong Bay, it’s best to explore it by boat. Halong Bay day cruises make it easy to experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site and can include transfers from Hanoi, Halong City, or nearby ports. Most cruises, whether by traditional junk boat or luxury ship, include lunch, stops at an island and cave, plus time for kayaking or a bamboo boat excursion—some also wait for the sunset. Cruises to quieter Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay are also an option.
