Wonderful day exploring the bay

Brenda_C, Mar 2025
Lovely day from start to finish. Our guide, driver, and boat crew were excellent. We loved that this route was uncrowded and allowed us to enjoy the majesty of the bays. The kayaking, cave hike, and beach were fun. And the food was substantial and tasty.

Best tour in Ha Long bay

Silvia_C, Jan 2025
The cruise was exceptional, our guide Son and the crew were very friendly and professional. The tour was interesting and relaxing, with beautiful landscapes. We travelled with a small group and during the tour we barely encountered other tourists. The food was also great and abundant. We highly recommend this experience and suggest to keep some cash to leave tips!

Beautiful day of discovery

Anne_B, Dec 2025
Excellent communication from start to finish. Following a boat problem, we were warned in time and an alternative solution was offered, which allowed us to discover another bay, perfectly in line with our expectations. Less touristy, more authentic and very real: an even better experience than expected. The activities were varied and very well organized, the warm welcome, with adorable attention to our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent and the entertainment on board very successful. A different, human and memorable experience. We highly recommend.

Ein großartiger Tag!

Romina_R, Mar 2025
Ganz tolles Erlebnis weit weg vom Massentourismus. Wir waren nur 8 Menschen auf dem Boot und haben auf der Route so gut wie keine anderen Boote gesehen. Der Guide war sehr nett, informativ und sprach sehr gut englisch. Das Essen war ebenfalls sehr gut und der Transport komfortabel und Problemlos. Bei „Luxus-Kreuzfahrt“ darf man nicht zu viel erwarten, das Boot hatte die besten Tage hinter sich, was uns aber nicht gestört hat. Ja, die Tour ist teurer als die normalen Halong Bay Touren, es lohnt sich aber auf jeden Fall!
