Loved the cruise! The service was great, we enjoyed the food, and the views were stunning. Not sure why others say the bay is too crowded. You do see a lot of ships throughout the journey but it's not overwhelming and in every photo and frame. I'm fact, it's nice seeing other boats around and they are well spaced out. Tony was a great guide and gave a lot of attention to each guest. The young gentleman who was guiding us through pick up was also amazing

It is very relaxed and the guide is very communicative and knowledgeable! This tour provides you with a clean safe ship, great food and time to relax and enjoy the scenery. There was never a feeling of being rushed!

We’re delighted to hear you loved the cruise, from the food and service to the stunning views around the bay. It’s great that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and noticed how well everything was organised. Tony and our pick-up team will be thrilled to know their efforts made your trip even more special. We truly appreciate your thoughtful words and hope to welcome you back on board soon 🌿⛵

Great day! I got switched to a different cruise because I would have been the only non-Vietnamese person on the boat, but they were able to accommodate me on a different boat with more foreign travelers but with many of the same activities. Company is great, our tour guide Billy was great, and we had an amazing day sailing in Lan Ha Bay!

Thank you very much for the kind feedback! We are very happy to hear you had a good time, and that our upgrade to your booking lived up to your expectations ^^. On behalf of the crew and our staff team, I wish you a great travelling experience in Vietnam.

One of the most modern boats I saw for a daytrip. Plenty of space with three different floors to relax and hang out. Very good guide and crew. Communication was straight forward and there really is not anything to complain about (except for the weather and the trash in the ocean). I can 100% recommend. Our table also had lots of dietary restrictions and they made sure everyone had enough to eat and made separate dishes which was a nice surprise.

After so much research I definitely think we made the right choice with this trip. Tony was knowledgable and engaging and his English was excellent. We learned about the life of the people in the floating village and about Lan ha and Halong bay. The food on the boat was great too and they were so accommodating of lots of different dietary requirements. Tony also helped us get to our next destination and made suggestions for timings once we got there too. A great day out and a great guide!

Awesome day trip! Guide was great, food was great (there was A LOT of it so be ready). Weather wasn’t ideal but kayaking was still a ton of fun and the guide always made sure we were as comfy as possible despite being a little cold. Overall great trip, I would definitely recommend. A tip: bring a swimsuit or spare change of shorts, you get pretty wet kayaking!

The boat was very spacious and plenty of room to move around for the number of guests onboard. The guide was very attentive, the views were amazing and the pace was just right. Plenty of time to relax plus doing a little kayaking and swimming. Lunch was delicious, very seafood based (which we loved), and they did alternatives for those that didn’t eat seafood.

Everything perfect, despite the fact that it rained during the day, all the activities and timing went well. Excellent staff

Grazie mille per la sua splendida recensione su Viator!
Siamo molto felici di sapere che tutto sia stato perfetto, anche nonostante la pioggia durante la giornata. È un piacere sapere che le attività, le tempistiche e l’organizzazione abbiano soddisfatto le sue aspettative.
Un grande grazie anche per i complimenti al nostro staff: il suo apprezzamento è per noi la motivazione più grande. Speriamo di poterla accogliere di nuovo presto per un’altra bellissima esperienza nella baia di Lan Ha con Serenity Boutique Cruise!

Es war super, der Guide und die anderen Angestellten auf dem Boot waren sehr freundlich. Alles hab sehr gut funktioniert. Das Boot war sehr schön! Wir waren nur 16 Leute auf dem Boot, obwohl es wohl für 50 ausgelegt wäre. Die Landschaft ist ein Traum und auch das Fischerdorf absolut sehenswert! Das Kanu fahren hat Spaß gemacht und die Tour hatte genau die richtige Länge. Ein kleiner Tipp: an wechselsachen denken, damit man nicht nass auf dem Boot sitzt, als wir die Tour gemacht haben war es recht frisch, das wäre unangenehm gewesen.
Das Essen war sehr lecker. Recht Fischlastig, aber ich konnte vorher vegetarisch angeben und habe separates essen bekommen, was super lecker war und auch viel zu viel, um ales zu schaffen. Alles in Alles perfekt!

Journée superbe. Je recommande vivement cette excursion. « Tony » le guide était vraiment génial et nous avons vraiment très bien mangé le midi.
Nous avons vraiment passé une très bonne journée.
