Halong Bay Shore Excursion: Full Day Cruise Tour from Cruise Port

Beth_G, Apr 2026

Would recommend!

Our trip was great! Our guide Johnny was very knowledgable and attentive for the 7 hour excursion. Easy to find him at the cruise ship port, and quick loading on to the boat. We had 18 passengers, and could have had room for at least 30, so lots of space, which was nice. Clean, available bathrooms. Soda, beer, water available for sale ($1-2 USD), and you do get 1 free with lunch. The itinerary was different than what was on Viator, but it all ended up being great. Went to an oyster & pearl farm, Sung Set Cave, then had lunch (so much food! A set menu, and it just kept coming. After lunch, we visited Luon Cave - we had options to take a bamboo boat (included), kayak (included) or speedboat (~$17 USD), and we had enough time to do 2 of the 3! Finally, we also stopped at Titov Isle - has a viewpoint with about 450 steps, which I didn't do, but we had enough time here to allow that. We stayed at the beach/shops area, which was pretty small. Swimming was allowed, but again, it was very small, so we didn't go in. Johnny was a great guide and the boat crew were wonderful! Great way to see the cool bay area.

A thoroughly enjoyable...

A thoroughly enjoyable morning. Picked up at my hotel and taken on the back of a scooter to the office where I met the group and we got our bikes. We then cycled off out of the city and into the countryside stopping at various points. Guides were friendly and helpful and the staff blocked all the major junctions so we always felt very safe. Nice included pho ga lunch at the end! All in all would definitely recommend this trip!

Ninh Binh day trip

The day had a lot of variety. The drive was only 2 hours to Ninh Binh. The biking was very easy and good for people of all abilities. The boat ride through the caves was stunning and despite the downpour the climb up the 500 steps was still doable and worth the view. Our guide Ryan was great!

Beautiful and relaxing day exploring Cat Ba and Lan Ha Bay with the amazing Billy! It was a lot of travel via ferries and buses to get to Lan Ha Bay but well worth it to avoid the crowds and see a spectacularly untouched natural site! If you want yo feel like you are exploring a Hawaiian island on a private yacht book this trip.

Loved it

The cruise itself was lovely. We upgraded to a suite and I thoroughly recommend the investment. It is beautiful and spacious and not a huge amount of money. There were plenty of activities and visits and we started straight away. The food is very good. My only complaint is that there is too much. Our guide was friendly and knowledge. I was sad to leave!

Halong bay 5star Cruise Day Trip: Buffet lunch & Limousine bus

Becwerther, Dec 2025

Wonderful day out in Ha Long bay

From the moment we were picked up in a luxury bus (with seats like business class plane) to getting on the boat, we were treated so well by our wonderful guide, Jake. The whole day was so well planned, with 3 fabulous stops on the cruise to explore beaches and caves. It was a busy day, with many crowds from multiple other cruise ships, but it did not impact on our day as we all really enjoyed ourselves. The food is quite nice, with a surprise sunset party on the roof while sailing home. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have a special day out in Ha Long bay.

Siddharth_S, Dec 2025

Excellent day cruise at Halong Bay

Ideal trip for someone low on time but yet wanting to catch the best of halong bay. Every moment is fun filled and full of picturesque views. For the kayaking/ Bamboo boat part, I would recommend kayaking if no kids else the bamboo boat is after. Gets crowded. I would recommend carrying about 500000 VND in cash. A cpl 100k more if you want to tip well. Our guide Binh did an excellent job of managing the tour and explaining what was about to come. His fluency in English helped immensely.

Above my expectations

Fabulous day. The catamaran was very comfortable with loads of space. The sofa and chairs were great for relaxing. There is a bar and a jacuzzi. Waterslides too, for those who like them. Most of all the guide Xin chào was excellent. He kept us well informed, ran the whole day very professionally. The food on board is also excellent. The coach transfer is comfortable.
