We were originally scheduled to take the Alice, but due to some technical issues with the Alice, we were upgraded to the Dolphin for free! 😍 I highly recommend the Dolphin. The boat is clean and tidy, the service is excellent, and the buffet food quality is superb! 😆👍 A special thanks to our tour guide, Xiao Wang, who did his best to take care of every guest. We don't speak Vietnamese, but he tried his best to translate using Chinese. Overall, it was an excellent experience! 😍🙈

The trip starts with a clean, big limousine bus (seated approx 8 people) which picked us up from our hotel (arrived at 6:55am for a 7:00am start - very punctual). Ride provided bottled water and stopped for breakfast about 1.5 hours into the trip (breakfast at your own cost). Once we arrived at the port, we were welcomed on board by a number of friendly staff. We wasted no time getting into the buffet lunch which was 10/10 (sushi/cheese boards/curries/pho/fruit/desserts etc). Each table included the flag of your home country which was a great touch. After lunch, we hopped onto smaller boats and went adventuring (caves/kayaking) which was all included in the price. We then returned onto the cruise to enjoy an afternoon by the very impressive pool with a DJ!! This was then followed up by a live act, who played while we ate more free canapés around the pool. This trip was definitely value for money and we would recommend it to anyone :)

A great experience taking the Cozy Bay Cruise to Ha Long Bay. Ha Long Bay is a good place to visit. Special thanks to our tour guide Tea, who is enthusiastic and took care of everything, ranging from buffet to the tour itself.

Just went on the tour and it was a great experience. Our tour guide, Tea, was very engaging and knowledgeable. As a solo traveller, he helped take photos for me and made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy each stop. I highly recommend the speed boat ride—it was definitely a highlight. The whole crew was very welcoming and made the trip even better

What to know about Ha Long Bay

Situated in Vietnam’s Quang Ninh province, Ha Long Bay is a stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its thousands of towering limestone islands, crystal-clear emerald waters, and deep cultural roots. Whether you're after a peaceful cruise with breathtaking views or prefer adventure activities like kayaking, rock climbing, and cave exploration, Ha Long Bay caters to every kind of traveler. The name “Ha Long” means “Descending Dragon” and comes from Vietnamese legend, which tells of a mother dragon who descended from the heavens and released jewels and jade into the sea to protect the land from invaders—these treasures are believed to have formed the bay’s iconic islets. To visit Ha Long Bay, you can book a tour with a local operator, take a bus to Ha Long City or Hai Phong followed by a taxi to the port, or opt for a 15-minute seaplane ride for an unforgettable aerial view of the bay.

Attractions in Ha Long Bay

Limestone Karsts and Islets

Hạ Long Bay is famed for its dramatic limestone formations---towering karsts and islets that rise majestically from emerald-green waters. Sculpted over 500 million years, these natural pillars now frame scenes of local fishermen gliding by in sampans and mooring beside floating houses. For a breathtaking aerial perspective, ride the Queen Cable Car at Sun World Ha Long Park in Halong City.

Cat Ba Island and Other Caves and Grottos

When you visit Halong bay, Explore the bay's numerous caves, including Hang Dau Go (Wooden Stakes Cave), Thiên Cung (Paradise Cave), Sửng Sốt (Surprise Cave) and Trung Trang Cave near the Cat Ba archipelago. These caves feature impressive stalactites and stalagmites and offer a glimpse into the bay's geological history.

Floating Villages

Visit the floating fishing villages of Cua Van, Ba Hang, Cong Tau, and Vong Vieng. The local Vietnamese people here live on floating houses and sustain themselves through fishing and marine aquaculture, providing a unique cultural experience.

Lan Ha Bay

If you'd like quieter waters, head to Lan Ha Bay or Bai Tu Long Bay. Both boast secluded white-sand beaches and hundreds of limestone outcrops that rival Hạ Long Bay's beauty but with fewer crowds.
