Hercules Premium Day Cruise: Ha Long Bay with Sung Sot & Ti Top

it was a good experience on the cruise of Hercules. We were a group of 3 friends (all girls) we boarded the limousine bus and it took us about 2 and a half hours to reach the deck. the tour guide Tình was quite informative. At the deck, they welcomed us with a drink and a towel. Soon after that we had lunch, it had a lot of veg/non veg varieties. we went to the pearl farm, sung sot cave (it was majestic, about 700 steps though), ti top island (full of people, we didn’t go), bamboo boat ride(free) and then we got snacks and drinks by the time it ended. we came back relaxing at the top of the cruise. it was a good experience overall, I think most cruise will give you the same amenities. Remember, they are very particular about the timings. they won’t hesitate to leave you if you are late.

After reading reviews, we booked the Hercules Premium Day Cruise for two on 30 April, opting for the limousine bus with pick up from Hanoi Old Quarter. The operator contacted us a day in advance with clear details. Our guide, Austin, was punctual and guided us to a nearby pick up point. The limousine bus was comfortable with ample legroom, though traffic extended the journey to nearly five hours instead of three. We arrived at the cruise around 1.30 pm and had a buffet lunch with prompt refills, though drinks were chargeable. The itinerary included Sung Sot Cave, Hang Luon, and Ti Top Island. At Hang Luon, optional speed boat rides were available, while bamboo boat and kayaking were included. A tea break was served on the return journey, and we reached Hanoi on time. Overall, the trip was well organised and hassle free. Austin was attentive and made a strong effort to explain the sights. I would recommend this experience for a convenient Halong Bay day trip.

Sir Sam was our tour guide and he was very accommodating and knowledgeable about our trip. He talked about the history of Ha Long Bay and we enjoyed it. attractions on route: everything was attractive and worth every penny service: GREAT!

Ken, our tour guide was awesome! He assisted everyone, explain/share stories/history as well as some jokes and he was able to herd everyone to the next activities in a timely manner. The cruise was clean and food are great. value for money: 10 safety: 10 attractions on route:10

Tinh , I had an amazing experience with our tour guide in Halong Bay! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area, sharing fascinating stories about the bay's formation and local traditions. The guide was friendly, approachable, and answered all our questions with a lot of enthusiasm. Thumbs up...

Simply put, this was the highlight of our trip to Hanoi and Sapa. Our guide, Jason, did a wonderful job showing us around. He was funny and spoke English at a higher level than the guides we had on other tours. The boat we were on was first rate. The buffet lunch and drinks were excellent, the staff onboard were very friendly and attentive. Every so we had throughout the day was enjoyable, particularly the cave and the speedboat. When you take a trip, you want to have great memories from the places you went and the things you did. This is exactly what we got from the Halong Bay cruise. Gorgeous surroundings, fun activities, great food. It may have been the premium tour, but it was so worth it.

A wonderful experience for first-timers in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay! The cruise was very clean, the amenities were exceptional, and most importantly, the guide — the best one, Mr. Jason! The driver, Mr. Son, was also incredibly helpful. Both of them made the trip smooth and enjoyable. Thank you so much — highly recommended!

Firstly our guid Nam was very professional, knoledgable and kind. With 15+ years of experience under his belt you can trust him and ask anything. It really shows with his enthusiasm and genuine enjoyment for what he does. The crew was stellar and professional, the ship was very clean and truly gives the quality for price (and some). We loved our trip and Nam truly made it memorable. Ask for him when you book. value for money:
