Things to do in Bai Tu Long Bay

atm we are still ln board La Regina, if i can give 10 star i will. the trip is PERFECT for me and my husband. Peter is very accommodating and everyone treats us like ROYALTY. Peter see to it all our reasonable needs are met. all staff i cannot remember their names but despite visible tiredness their smiles never leave their faces. Peter was truly tired last night but he still put all of the guest first. for the itierary, it was just enough, not too tiring and not too boring. this cruise and this package is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED we will surely go back with family and friends

We took the signature cruise on the Bai Tu Long Bay route. Due to an unexpected incident, our trip was almost changed to the Halong Bay route, but Alice from Klook worked diligently, and as a result, it turned out to be an even better trip than we expected. The Bai Tu Long Bay route was very quiet and peaceful. Although the boat wasn't new, it was lovely and well-maintained, and everything felt clean. We were the only Japanese guests, and while we weren't fluent in English, the ship's manager was very kind and attentive, so we never felt anxious. My elderly mother also enjoyed canoeing, swimming, and exploring the caves. Many thanks to Alice and the wonderful crew! Highly recommended!

The trip was wonderful! Staff, food and accomodation was great. The only thing we regret is not staying for 2 nights. Thanks for a great trip!

This was my second visit to Ha Long Bay, and this time I chose a two-day, one-night itinerary. Watching the sunset from the boat and then the sunrise the next morning was beautiful. The meals on the boat were excellent; I'm worried I gained weight! The afternoon itinerary included a trip to Yen Tu Mountain, and I must say this was a very challenging journey, full of stairs that will definitely make your legs ache. However, the effort was worth it; the view from the mountaintop was stunning, and the weather was perfect, giving me a chance to take photos with a blue sky and white clouds. I think this trip was excellent.

This cruise experience exceeded my expectations. From the incredible food and beautiful destinations to the fantastic service and genuinely friendly staff, it was an experience I will remember for a long time. Highly recommended—absolutely worth every penny spent! 🚢✨

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.

10/10 experience. My guide Duc was awesome. Everything was on schedule and he explained what we were doing in detail. There were several options for every stop. I was able to hang out with other solo travelers on the trip and it was a great day!

The Dolphin cruise offered an exceptional experience for exploring Halong Bay in Hanoi, and it comes highly recommended. Our journey commenced with a convenient pick-up from our hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter. Following an hour of travel, we took a brief restroom break before arriving at the Bay area. The reception was outstanding, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere, complete with a complimentary drink. We opted for the Indian set menu, which was thoroughly enjoyable. Our itinerary included visits to Surprise Cave, Luon Cave, and Ti Top Island, all expertly managed. Long, the cruise manager, provided excellent care throughout the trip, and Jack, our tour guide, demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm and assistance during the various outdoor activities. Upon our return, we were greeted with snacks, beverages, and a DJ pool party, culminating in a truly memorable day in Halong. We highly recommend the Dolphin cruise for an unparalleled Halong Bay experience.

Since my hotel didn't offer pickup, I decided to go to the Hanoi Opera House. It wasn't far from the hotel, so that was fine. The pickup vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. The bus wasn't a luxury one, but it was acceptable. Before reaching Ha Long Bay, we first stopped at a shop selling goods. There was no pressure to buy anything. I just bought a drink. The boat we boarded wasn't large, but it was quite impressive. The boat departed around 10:30 AM. A buffet lunch was served on board starting at 11:00 AM. The meal wasn't bad. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful marine park, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the boat. Many tour boats dotted the sea, which was also a spectacular sight. There's a basic option to visit a short sea cave by rowing boat, and also time to enjoy kayaking. Taking a speedboat is an optional extra for an additional fee. On the way back, there was a cooking class on board, but only locals participated. Overall, if you're not focused on enjoying the scenery, it could be a bit boring. However, it was a wonderful opportunity to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay. The sea was calm, so there was no seasickness. On the bus ride back to Hanoi, we stopped at another shop selling goods. Again, there was no pressure to buy. The shops were selling items that could also be bought in Hanoi, but at higher prices. These shops need to change. They should offer products that can entice tourists to open their wallets, at prices that are appropriate. That way, sales would likely increase. I bought another drink this time too. Our guide never pressured us. The guide was friendly and dedicated to their job. The price of a Ha Long Bay tour seems to vary depending on the luxury level of the transportation and the boat. The tour I experienced today felt like a mid-range option. However, I was satisfied with the tour because of the guide's kindness. I'd like to thank Allen, our guide, who was with us all day!^^
