Bai Chay Beach cruises

Wonderful day trip. It was a long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. We had a great guide, and the transportation was well-organized and comfortable. The boat was excellent, with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also a lot of fun. It was nice that it was small-scale and not overly touristy.

Our guide, Vincent (looks like a monkey - his words, not mine), was truly a fantastic guide. He showed us around and you cannot get lost as he had his big capybara stick to show where he is. Vincent had a really good grasp of the history and threw in some good jokes. The tour itself was great and I believe it was mainly aided by Vincent and his warm welcome and approach to each and every person on the tour. Tour was fantastic, was able to do everything we wanted at Ha Long Bay, the food was surprisingly good for a buffet and a great drinks selection on offer.

Due to the storm, our tour was rescheduled for a few days later. The tour itself was wonderful. The children were absolutely delighted and wanted to go again. We also really liked our guide, Tinh. Special thanks to him for taking beautiful photos of our entire family.

A day trip to Ha Long Bay truly lives up to its reputation as "Guilin on the Sea"! 🌊 We departed from Hanoi in the morning, and the drive was about 2.5 hours. Although it was a bit far, seeing the emerald green water and thousands of limestone islands made it all worthwhile. Cruising among the islands felt like stepping into a traditional Chinese ink painting. For lunch, we enjoyed a seafood meal on the boat; the food was decent, but dining with the sea breeze was incredibly pleasant. The biggest highlights were kayaking and exploring the caves, where the water was so clear you could see the bottom. We climbed over 400 steps on Ti Top Island, and the panoramic view of Ha Long Bay from the summit was truly breathtaking. The day trip was indeed a bit rushed, so if possible, I'd recommend staying overnight. However, for a short experience, it offers great value for money, and I highly recommend it! Our guide, Johnny, was enthusiastic, thoughtful, and meticulous in his service – highly commendable.

Amazing and seamless experience, from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay and back! Will definitely recommend booking this tour, and hope Ori will be your guide! She is the best and is very hospitable, her English is also very good.

amazing experience of the day cruise tour with ambassador. Mr. Hoang took special care of us and made our honeymoon really special. a big shoutout to the indian food they have, its tastier than it looks.

My wife, daughter, and I participated in the 6-hour Halong Bay Cruise tour (in Japanese). In the morning, we were picked up promptly at the hotel lobby at the agreed-upon time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything fluently in Japanese, even incorporating some puns. Although the bus seats didn't recline, it was a comfortable ride, cool and a welcome escape from the heat outside, with decent seating. As soon as we boarded the cruise ship, a seafood lunch was served. The air-conditioned cabin offered a good variety of dishes, not overly luxurious, but certainly filling. For the cave tunnel experience, I highly recommend kayaking over the bamboo boat. Sung Sot Cave involved quite a bit of uphill and downhill walking, which made our knees a bit wobbly, but the cave itself was incredibly vast and impressive. Afterward, the view of Halong Bay from the observation deck on Ti Top Island was absolutely stunning. On the way back, we stopped at a rest area for dinner and were treated to pho (which we'd been eating daily on this trip, with varying taste and quality). It was a long day, from 8:10 AM until 8:30 PM, but thanks to our tour guide, it was a very enjoyable tour.

The trip was great, had an enthusiastic guide Henry who kept the energy levels high throughout the trip. 2nd stop was kayaking or bamboo boat tour. I recommend bamboo boat as its safer. A kayak turned upside down in front of us, thankfully no one was hurt. Overall recommend this day tour.

The entire trip we had with the cruise was really amazing!! It was indeed a very great experience worth every penny I paid. Our tour guide, Victor Huy, has been very helpful. He was very accommodating and really takes time to connect with all the guests, helping maintain a very positive vibe. He even provides more convenient pickup and drop off options for us - very flexible and easy to deal with. This is the first time we visited Vietnam and I am very happy I included this trip in my itinerary. A lot of good memories that my parents and I will bring back home. I'd like to mention Lien as well who's smile is very comforting. She's very polite and friendly, adding to the good vibes each time we dine. I'd love to do this again if given the chance to come back. 🙂
