Taliya Day Cruise: Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay Day Tour

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!^^

This Ha Long Bay & Lan Ha Bay day tour was absolutely perfect. The weather was great, and the scenery was incredibly beautiful. Whether it was the rowboat passing through the Dark & Bright Cave or kayaking in the lagoon, being so close to these stunning bays was truly refreshing and unforgettable. The crew were patient, attentive, and proactive. They came to each table to guide us through every part of the tour and checked in often to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying everything. The food and drinks were also delicious. The spring roll making activity was especially fun, not only did they explain the background of the dish, but they also fried our rolls on the spot after we made them. It felt very interactive and engaging. Everything was wonderful, and I honestly ran out of phone storage from taking so many photos and videos! For this price and such an amazing experience, I’m extremely happy and would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Unlike other tours that direct you to Tuan Chau International Marina, Google Maps accurately guides you directly to the boat boarding location, so you can take a taxi straight to the place in the first photo. Upon arrival, the reception confirms your reservation and you board. From welcoming guests to explaining the itinerary, having lunch, riding a bamboo boat to explore the cave, and kayaking and swimming before returning for tea time, everything was great. The lunch buffet food and drinks all suited my taste, and everyone at the reception was friendly. Thanks to them, I had a really good time. Thank you.

The most beautiful & sexy cruise ship in ha long bay. No other cruise at the bay or in the sea had such killer looks. Interiors are also amazingly chic & modern. Food was delicious & varied, drinks were superb & not too overpriced for a cruise service. enjoyed our boat ride, and the cruise pool.

This tour was amazing. The vessel was huge, so new and the staff were excellent. Lots of food and great variety. Loved all the activities and the Vietnamese spring roll making. Great day. Highly recommend.

Excellent vacation! We had a lot of positive emotions and experiences. Our guide, Alan, shared many stories and answered all our questions, which was very interesting. Ha Long is an amazing place! The staff was polite and friendly. The service was top-notch. The Tailya yacht was comfortable and fast. There was a pool with a jacuzzi on board, and the children were absolutely thrilled. The food was excellent, with seafood, meat dishes, vegetables, various fruits, and snacks. We also enjoyed the cocktails. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Embark on a luxurious cruise to explore Ha Long Bay. The itinerary is packed. First, you'll have lunch; the fried food is pretty good. Then, take a small boat to see the rock caves, which is rowed by hand. The boatman will even sing. After that, you can also try kayaking. I was afraid I'd capsize, so I stayed on the boat. There's also a session on how to wrap Vietnamese rice paper rolls. Finally, there's tea time; the yogurt is good. There are attendants on the boat to help you; the attendant Daria is very nice and has a great smile. Apart from the drinks provided with lunch and tea, other drinks on the boat are extra. But sipping cocktails against the backdrop of Ha Long Bay's scenery is very chill!

We tried Taliya Cruise and honestly… it was so good. Everything was clean and exactly how they said it would be, which we really appreciated. The whole experience felt smooth and well taken care of. Super peaceful too—perfect if you just want to relax and enjoy the view. The service was a highlight for us. The butlers were great, especially Thomas! He was really helpful, easy to talk to, and just had a genuinely pleasant vibe that made everything even better. We weren’t able to go inside the cave because of the tide, but it was okay. The experience as a whole still felt complete and worth it. Definitely something we’d book again 🤍

One of the best cruise tours one can book. The staff was very polite and the food was great. Mr. Tom who was the manager of the ship kept checking on us if we were facing any issues.. the cruise ship had a pool and a mini golf course as well.. the food was excellent..the beef stew was amazing. The hotel transfer was not complicated..all in all it was one of the best experiences I had.
