Our experience on the Tropical Cruise was absolutely incredible, offering the perfect blend of luxury and high-energy fun. The scenery in Lan Ha Bay was breathtaking, and the water slide and jacuzzi made for an unforgettable day on the emerald water. A huge shoutout to our guide, Max, whose local knowledge and energy truly made the trip a highlight of our time in Vietnam!

Amazing experience, the tour guide was so good, and helped with giving a lot of details throughout the journey and the cruise ride. The guy-in-charge Nghiep (Jobs) was funny, and also informative and also help sort out one of the items we paid double for. The lunch was also very varied and was one of the best buffets I've had over here, with the food, being fresh and really good. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Cat ba island, lan ha bay and kayaking/swimming.

Mr Jobs was our guide, and Mr Mike our driver. Perfect -hotel transfers, to the stopover at the shopping stop (informative session of learning about silk and bamboo fibers), to the cruise, buffet lunch, electric transfers on Cat Ba island, Trung Trang Cave, Ha Long Bay water sports and sunset party! Shopping stop: dont forget to buy the bamboo + coconut fiber cloths (buy 6 free 1) for just VND 120000 (about USD 4 for 7pcs 😍) There are also a lot of bamboo fiber products there that you cant find in downtown Hanoi so happy shopping 😍. We were taken care of by a great team on the cruise. Beverage prices are reasonable. Cat Ba island + Trung Trang Cave is a wonderful place - for nature enthusiasts, for those looking to enjoy the fresh air on a relaxing ride - it allows you to unwind and there are so many photos you can take of the breathtaking sights. Ha Long bay is magnificent, and the weather that day was cloudy and a little foggy and it was very dreamy. The sunset party was FUN!!!!!
