Things to do in Lan Ha Bay

We had a blast with the cruise. The pace was not too fast, nor was it too slow. Minh, our tour guide, made sure everything went well and explained everything clearly. We thoroughly enjoyed each stop and were never rushed, but still made it on time. P.S. Make sure you have lots of free space on your phone. Value for money: 10/10 Safety: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Itinerary: 100/10

very fun, highly recommend. our guide “Tuna” was very nice. the cruise was super nice and clean. there were two activities which included going to a fishing village to bike and swimming/kayaking time. highly recommend!

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!

I had such a wonderful time with the exciting and active experiences. Swimming against the backdrop of the sunset was so romantic, and kayaking was much more fun than I could have imagined! I definitely, highly recommend it!! As for the cruise lunch buffet, it seemed like the amount of food was a little lacking compared to the number of tourists. I took just a small amount on my first plate, and when I went back for a second helping, most of the food was gone..^^;; That was a bit disappointing~~ Be sure to load up enough on your first plate lol. Our guide, who has been with us since Hanoi, was both witty and gentle, which made the trip even more fulfilling~~ I highly recommend the Halong Bay cruise 👍👍

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.

I went with my partner, and we enjoyed this trip! Maddie from SST Travel agency was communicative, and all the drivers/guides reached out to me in advance so we had seamless transfers. We really enjoyed the second day in Ninh Binh, our stay at Tam Coc Centre Luxury Hotel, and the overnight cruise on the Halora Nova. Some events are not included (additional 550K VND/person required, cash), and I had a poor experience on the Tam Coc Bich Dong boat trip. Bai Dinh Pagoda and the Trang An boat trip with our fun tour guide Lan (from Go Easy) made up for the first day. Would recommend!

We had a wonderful 2D1N at the cruise. staff are so friendly and facilities are great too. of course never miss out the great food here, especially dinner. they prepared my room with some special display too.

Tom & Victor are very good guides, always attentive and kind with all of us, the cruise was amazing, the food top notch & the view so calm and beautiful itinerario: the itinerary time is followed to the bone
