Haiphong

As expected from Hotel Nikko, both the rooms and service were excellent. I particularly appreciated the variety of Japanese breakfast options. Even when staying at Japanese-affiliated hotels overseas, the breakfast can sometimes be disappointing, but here, despite the small venue, the selection was satisfying. The fact that guests can use the large public bath at the adjacent Roygent Parks also significantly enhanced my satisfaction. Although it takes about 20 minutes by car from Hai Phong Station, Grab taxis are readily available, and there are small supermarkets and cafes around the hotel, which was very convenient.

My favorite hotel in Hai Phong.

Fantastic day cruise around Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba! Our guide Tuna was polite, and took excellent care of us throughout the day. The kayaking was excellent, the seafood lunch was fresh and delicious, the evening tea was nicely prepared and everything was clean and well organized. Beautiful views and great service from start to finish. 10/10 experience — highly recommend! 🌊🛶✨

We had a fantastic experience with Taliya Day Cruise! We arrived early at Terminal 36B, and the staff kindly guided us to the air-conditioned waiting room at 36A, which was equipped with four restrooms. The cruise departed right on time, and the boat itself felt very new and well-maintained. Although some previous reviews mentioned that plastic water bottles were prohibited, there was actually no such restriction in place. The itinerary was well-paced and comfortable without being exhausting. Coupled with the warm, friendly, and attentive service from the crew, it was truly a wonderful and enjoyable trip!

While there are day trips available for Ha Long Bay cruises, I highly recommend an overnight stay if you have the time. The sunrise and sunset are truly worth seeing. I was worried about the transportation from Hanoi since it was my first time, but our guide, Lee, made such precise arrangements that I felt completely at ease once I was picked up! After boarding the ship, doing the canoeing activity makes it even more fun. I couldn't do it, so I joined via boat instead, but that was also a wonderful experience! I was worried because I was traveling alone and not very confident in English, but thanks to the wonderful nature of the staff and the other guests, I never felt lonely and laughed a lot. All the meals were delicious, and the room was lovely! The atmosphere was also great for anyone wanting to just relax. It was also an interesting experience to see people from so many different countries participating. We were blessed with great weather, making it a truly wonderful cruise.

let me begin with an honest review. Firstly it’s a budget friendly cruise. can’t get such a pleasant and beautiful expert. our guide Victor is best of all. you can’t get a person like victor. good accommodation and activity everything is top notch. best experience of my lyf. guys go for it

I had a great experience joining this trip. The tour guide, Mr. Hao (Happy), really left a great impression on me. Just like his nickname, “Happy,” he truly kept everyone’s spirits up, even though it was raining that day. He was enthusiastic, energetic, helpful, cheerful, attentive, and always made sure everyone was having a good time. At first, I was a little disappointed with the weather. It was raining, and I had hoped to enjoy kayaking under the sunshine. However, it turned out to be one of my best memories—the experience of kayaking in the rain was unforgettable. Mr. Happy was always reminding us, “Have fun, don’t get hurt,” and he constantly looked out for everyone’s safety. He also frequently checked on us throughout the trip to make sure we were doing well. The food on the cruise was great as well. Overall, I would rate this experience 9/10. Thank you, Mr. Happy, for making this trip so enjoyable. I hope to see you again someday!

The overall experience was chilled and the stuff is honestly accommodating with good English communication skills and Jenny helped me with whatever I needed and so did the whole stuff. The pool was good too, good is good, Overall experience 9/10 and it was Thursday but it was booked with more than 40 passengers on board , so no fine dining experience but it was good either way.

Celina cruise was an absolutely amazing experience. between the stunning and spotless rooms and the exceptional food and service, we can see why this cruise is one of the top in Ha Long Bay. Although a little on the expensive side, the amazingly comfy bed and stunning views make up for it. The pool was perfect temperature with a beautiful view and the activities on day 1 were great. Although day 2 morning activities were cancelled due to a thunderstorm, the cruise was still a perfect experience thanks to the unbeatable hospitality with amazing staff. Special mention to Felix, Phuong Anh, and Ronald for their exceptional service and always going above and beyond for us. Hopefully we will be back soon!!
