Passeios por Ha Long Bay

The magnificent natural beauty of Ha Long Bay is something you truly can't appreciate from photos alone; you have to experience it in person. I highly recommend it. Luckily, our tour guide was Johnny Handsome, who many others have praised in their reviews. He worked hard to make the tour lively and ensured we traveled safely and smoothly. The driver, though a bit gruff, drove very safely. Since my hotel was in a complicated location, the tour started with a motorbike transfer. We then traveled comfortably on a large bus along the highway, stopping twice for toilet breaks at a souvenir shop and a pearl shop during the two-and-a-half-hour journey. Upon arrival at the pier, we were immediately guided onto the boat for a lunch buffet. The food was reasonably good. Drinks were extra. We first chose between a bamboo boat, kayak, or speedboat (with an additional charge) and enjoyed our respective activities. The bamboo boat was rowed for us, allowing us to take photos at leisure. Kayaking seemed challenging for beginners, as it navigated through many passing bamboo boats. Next, we moved a short distance by boat to visit a cave. The cave tour was about 2km and took an hour. The initial ascent to the entrance was a steep staircase, followed by repeated ups and downs on stairs, which was honestly tiring. However, there were spots with panoramic views of Ha Long Bay, and I managed to take beautiful photos. After that, we moved a short distance by boat to Ti Top Island, where you can swim or climb to the observation deck. Honestly, my legs were tired from the cave, so I just relaxed on the boat, haha. The day concluded with a sunset party. It was very simple: tea, a small amount of red wine, small mango cookies, fried rice crackers, and watermelon. You could order beer, cocktails, and juices for an extra charge, but it was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, Ha Long Bay at sunset was incredibly beautiful and the highlight. Since you spend the entire day on the same boat in the same seat, you can leave your belongings (except valuables) and travel light for sightseeing. On the way back, we had one toilet break at a souvenir shop, and I was dropped off near my hotel while I was dozing off. It was a fulfilling and enjoyable day.

The service operates during the Lunar New Year. The bus picks up passengers from various hotels in Hanoi around 5 AM. After a journey of just over two hours, with a brief stop at a highway rest area, we arrived at the visitor center around 8 AM. We then reported to the reception (near Highlands Coffee) ourselves, took a shuttle to the pier, and boarded the boat. Each island stop lasts about 30-40 minutes, with transfers between different small and medium-sized boats. It's essential to follow the staff's instructions. Due to the tight schedule, you can ask staff to help clear the way, get tickets, or retrieve rafts, otherwise, you might lose a lot of time just queuing. The same bus waited at the visitor center for returning passengers. Our return was delayed by an hour due to other passengers, but the driver was very patient. There were no shopping stops throughout the trip. Thanks to the staff's efforts, the arrangements were very smooth, and the food was delicious. A truly satisfying experience!

We booked the Aspira and were upgraded to the Azura - and let me tell you, it exceeded our expectations! Everything was absolutely amazing - the boat is immaculate, the rooms are luxurious, the food was spectacular and the staff go above and beyond. Thank you so much Azura for the experience of a lifetime!

Perfect tour for friends and family! Our guide Vincent was absolutely amazing. He was helpful and funny. We got enough time at each attraction and Vincent let us know all the good activities and photo spots. There were a lot of vegetarian options for food as well.

We get to see the beauty of Ha Long Bay with this tour package! Totally recommended for anyone visiting. Shoutout to our tour guide Binh with english name Baby! He is very good, very talented and friendly. He is great with his job. 🙌🏼

Si vous visitez Hanoï ou la baie d'Halong, ne manquez pas de réserver cette croisière de luxe, elle vaut chaque centime. Dolphin Cruise tient vraiment sa promesse de luxe, et je lui donnerais un solide 10/10. De la prise en charge à l'hôtel au voyage à couper le souffle à travers la baie d'Halong, tout est fluide et confortable. La compagnie est incroyablement bien organisée, et la gérante, Fatima, s'assure personnellement que l'expérience est sans stress, couvrant le transport, les activités et la vie à bord. J'ai adoré chaque instant. La nourriture était abondante et délicieuse, avec une grande variété d'options. Les activités étaient soigneusement organisées, et la fête au coucher du soleil sur le Canopy, avec sa piscine, son DJ en direct et son chanteur, a été un moment fort. Le navire lui-même est magnifique, facilement le plus beau de la baie d'Halong. Cette croisière établit la norme en matière de voyages de luxe au Vietnam.
