Not quite what we booked

Russell_S, Nov 2025

Viator confirmed our booking and put us in touch with Local Tours Asia, who advised that the Bai Tu Long Bay tour I had booked was not available but there was a similar tour at same price available on a very nice ship called Cycad (advertised as 6 star). “Similar” is a real stretch. Apple photo location tells me we didn’t go anywhere near Bai Tu Long bay. All of my photo locations show we were in Halong bay the whole time. I also had regular internet and used Google maps to confirm location. That the cruise stayed in Halong bay ensured we had plenty of ships surrounding us throughout the cruise and enabled the ship to dart back to port on day 2 to drop off the first one nighter group and grab the next, whilst the 2 nighters (6 of us) had no choice but to board the tender as lunch was only going to be provided on the tender. This tender had already picked up passengers from another cruise so it was a bit crowded. This was a confusing cruise with overlapping activities and no clear plan for people on a 3D2N itinerary. We were at the pearl farm twice and on day 3 were offered the opportunity to do the cave walk and kayaking that we did on day one. Food was ok. Day 2 dinner was outstanding and went close to that 6 star rating. Room was very nice. The queen size was constructed using rocks.. It badly needed a softer mattress. Ensuite bathroom was nice as well. Crew: very polite and attentive. Overall not the cruise we had wanted or booked and given we were charged the original price it feels like a money grab.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks so much for your feedback, Russell Smart We checked again with our crew for sure. We did the itinerary to Bai Tu Long, not Ha Long. We would explain a bit. The Bai Tu Long Bay and Halong bay are next to each other. We did some activities in Bai Tu Long near the boder between 2 bays so it is not clear if you check on map. We also have some other guests joined us on the date: DAY 01 HANOI – THIEN CANH SON CAVE – CONG DO DAY 02 CONG DO – CAP LA AREA DAY 03 CONG DO – VUNG VIENG VILLAGE – HANOI We are so happy that you enjoyed the 3-Days Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise from Hanoi with Meals & Kayaking. We will take note and improve the service. Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

Very nice cruise

Olivier_L, Mar 2023

Totally worth it to stay the extra night, because the extra full day is where you do a very nice kayak tour in the morning with almost no one around, and a visit of floating fisherman's village. Everything is timed and the area discovered is not much, but views are amazing and it isn't too touristy

Response from Host, Mar 2023
