Катамаранен премиум дневен круиз: Обиколка на залива Халонг и залива Лан Ха

Book this day trip now!!! First time visitor to Hanoi here (family of 4 with teenage kids). I’ve heard a lot about Halong Bay, and was searching for a day trip. Looked around other packages which were cheaper and reviews were mixed, and especially concerning were those with buffet food and being herded like cattle from one place to another. Then I stumbled upon Halong Caramaran but saw only about 10 reviews, however all excellent. Took a chance and booked this. I’m telling you, no regrets and this was fantastic. Tour operator contacted me via WhatsApp to make arrangements. There were a bit of confusion as multiple people were contacting me after that about the journey from Hanoi to Tuan Chau port and ended up slightly late at the port (1230 instead of 1145) however Ben(Thanh) from Halong Catamaran was in constant communication with me on WhatsApp and the driver and all good in the end. Just a feedback to operator, ditch the pearl shop stop, I think most of your travellers are not interested in that was packed with people and can’t hear the pearl tour guide operator explanation. Really not necessary. Then we reached the port and got on the catamaran via speedboat. It was fantastic. New boat, total guests probably around 40-50 people only. 6 course meal served and they were delicious and well plated. You could order drinks as well (pay separately) and just enjoy the upper deck of the catamaran. There was enough space around to make it feel almost exclusive. After the 6 course meal, we went for the light/dark cave excursion by bamboo boat. A request for future travellers, consider tipping the bamboo boatman as it’s hard work rowing that boat of 8-10 passengers and some of them even stop after first cave and would help you take a 360 deg photo/video while singing a traditional Vietnamese song about Halong Bay. Best time to tip would be there after the singing/video before heading back through the dark cave and to the catamaran. After that catamaran would head to another spot and you could swim (slide down the twin slides at the back of the catamaran), and they would have an inflatable trampoline too for you to jump and go crazy. It’s an unbelievable experience with jaw dropping view of the bay all around you. Finally it ends with a guided food preparation session making Vietnamese spring rolls. Plenty of time during the trip back to the harbor to take beautiful sunset photos and group/family photos. I have to say this is more expensive than the others but it’s money well spent. Truly felt like going on a personal exclusive day trip out to Halong Bay and it was so relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re a social person you can connect with other travellers if you’re not you have enough space to stick to yourself. I would highly recommend this and big shoutout to Nam (tour bus from Hanoi to Tuan Chau), and Ben(Thanh) and Tommy onboard Halong Catamaran (22 Dec 2023) for such an enjoyable day trip! Book it now, no regrets!!

If you prefer a relaxing day trip around Halong Bay instead of rushing from spot to spot, this is a good choice for you. The bus will stop at a "pearl farm" but no one will push you to buy anything. Then you will board the main boat and you will be served a wonderful 6 course meal while enjoying beautiful scenery. I highly recommend this cruise because of the delicious lunch, we were so full and satisfied. Then we went kayaking or bamboo boat cruising to the bright and dark cave, up to you to choose. Afterwards you can swim or sunbath or just chill in the cabin enjoying the scenery. You can order cocktails, mocktails , beer, or coffee in the boat. At the end there is a simple spring roll making activity and cakes and fruit for afternoon tea. Although the itinerary is not action packed, it is different and more relaxing than the usual more rushed and tourist crowded Halong Bay itinerary.

our tourguide was Vinh and we had an excellent time during the trip. well paced and relaxed itinerary, food was really good too!!! we will definitely recommend this trip to friends just want to chill out!

Thoroughly enjoyed the day. I was already in Halong so didn't use their transfer from Hanoi. Excellent communication throughout by Mun. The extra money spent on this trip was well worth it. The Catamaran took us beyond all the crowds while we enjoyed a beautifully prepared multi course meal and enjoyed the views. The swimming, kayaking, water slides were very enjoyable. The hands on cooking demonstration and afternoon tea were a nice end to the trip. The chef is very talented with his edible bouquet arrangements - see pics. Prices for drinks were reasonable - same as you pay in restaurants onland. This was a very relaxing day with stunning views and friendly staff smiles. It is definitely worth the extra you pay compared to some of the large mass produced tours.

這趟來河內，我超級推薦新路線的行程！ 這個價錢，可以體驗到頂級巴士的飯店接送，對外國人來說真的非常方便！而郵輪的部分我也是非常滿意，內裝乾淨舒適，午餐餐點的部分我也是非常滿意，尤其是船上的工作人員，非常親切熱情，讓我體驗又更好了。 下午在海上跳水、坐船去洞穴看看，如果有機會可以體驗，我會選擇獨木舟，感覺比較好玩！ 其中我也要推薦導遊Tommy，非常熱情也貼心，會注意到細節，雖然英文口音也是有點重，但不妨礙基本溝通。 非常推薦來河內可以體驗，整體地形真的非常有特色！

We've really enjoyed the trip. The transfer was smooth and comfortable. Lunch was great and they catered very we to vegetarians (both the meal and the cooking class). There was plenty of time to relax, and enjoy the scenery. The cruise was very comfortable, the amenities were good. The route, being a lesser travelled, was quiet and not a lot of people or cruise ships. Definitely recommend it for those who enjoy a quieter way of enjoying Ha Long Bay.

Being Indian I had never ever thought that the vegetarian food they will serve will be so delicious and 7 course meal was so filling. Had an awesome experience and a wonderful time at cruise. Definitely worth the money spent.

Пътуването беше дълго и скъпо, но е невероятно преживяване. Нашият гид Ерик е много отзивчив и приятелски настроен. Преживяването беше забавно, храната беше вкусна, а местата бяха чисти и подредени. Като цяло беше отлично – въпреки че е много по-скъпо от другите турове, но повярвайте ми, това е най-доброто, което можете да имате! Опитайте го сега 😁

我嗰團有美國/非洲/日本/印度人，旅行巴坐位幾闊，不過唔係好新唔算好乾淨，喺舊城區兜左差唔多一個鐘接齊人就上highway, 搭多一個鐘喺一個珍珠養殖場小休去洗手間，我地好快就行完，有團友購物搞左差唔多成個鐘先上到車😪導遊又冇講清楚邊度集合搞到少少混亂，有待改善。11:00左右到碼頭，坐駁艇上雙體船。環顧四週我哋隻船應該係數一數二最新最靚，值回票價🥰食物打卡一流味道ok, 坐左一個鐘左右就到kayaking既地方，導遊帶坐兜個圈穿左一個洞，唔算辛苦。唔玩kayak可以坐bamboo boat有人撐船，要比小費。之後架船開左10分鐘去左一個乾淨啲既水域，可以游水玩滑梯同吹氣彈床，仲有個jacuzzi好正！到左tea time,有生果同蛋糕仔，仲可以自己包米紙卷，長途車返河內晚餐前可頂一頂肚。返河內大概兩個鐘車程中途會停十分鐘比你去洗手間，返到河內會送你返酒店。整體黎講係珍珠場嗰part扣左分，其他都乎合期望！

Lived up to what I’ve read in the reviews - excellent 6-course lunch on board the Halong Catamaran which has clean and fairly new facilities.
