Cruzeiros em Opera House

Lovely day trip. A long day due to travel time there and back, but it was worth it. Nice guide, transport well-arranged and comfortable. The boat was great with lunch, kayaking, swimming, and beautiful surroundings. The golf cart ride across the island to the cave and museum was also very enjoyable. It was pleasant that it was small-scale and not mega-touristy.

My hotel didn't offer pickup, so we decided to meet in front of the Opera House. It wasn't far from the hotel to the Opera House, so that was fine. The pickup vehicle arrived about 10 minutes later than the scheduled time. The bus wasn't a luxury bus, but it was acceptable. Before arriving at 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 splendid. The boat departed around 10:30 AM. A buffet-style meal was served on board starting at 11:00 AM. The food wasn't bad. Ha Long Bay is a beautiful marine park, and you can enjoy the stunning scenery from the boat. Many company boats dotted the sea, which was also a magnificent 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 a paid option. On the way back, a cooking class was held on board, but only locals participated. Overall, if you're not focused on enjoying the scenery, it could be a boring time. However, it was a time 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 also stopped at a shop selling goods. Again, there was no pressure to buy. The shops had items that could also be bought in Hanoi, selling them at high prices. The shops need to change. They need to offer products that can open tourists' wallets and prices that match. That way, sales will likely increase. I bought another drink this time. The guide never pressured us. The guide was kind and dedicated to their work. The price of the 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-level one. 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!

Un día genial, la recogida fue puntual, un conductor muy bueno y asientos súper cómodos. El barco era de alta calidad y la experiencia gastronómica excelente. Poder sentarse en la ventana con vistas maravillosas de la Bahía de Ha Long es algo que no olvidaremos. El personal fue increíble y siempre se aseguró de que la gente estuviera bien atendida. ¡Qué día tan fantástico y lo recomendaría!

This was a lovely but way to long. The day starts of very early however pick up was in a timely fashion. Long the tour guide was amazing the entire day. In my personal opinion the stops prior to getting to the boat were way too long. The lunch on the boat was cold

The tour guide speaks english fluently and is very knowledgeable with his work. My family highly recommends Bobby.

Ha long bay is very nice, staying overnight at boat is a bit boring, not much activity after dinner. Transportation from halong bay to Cat Ba island and back to Hanoi is quite well organised and smooth. The cat ba island trip is not bad, we got a private tour to the cave and national Park. Mr Kia are knowledgeable and his driver are very friendly and approachable.

doris is under maintenance and my family was assigned to erina 5 star cruise. I love the experience and the barter was very attentive and I love the view and bamboo boat ride to see dark and bright cave.

Our experience with Doria Cruise Vietnam was absolutely unforgettable. The cruise itself was beautiful, modern, and very well maintained, with stunning views from every corner of the cruise. The rooms were spacious, clean, and luxurious — waking up to the breathtaking scenery of Ha Long Bay felt magical. What truly made the trip special was the staff, especially *sweet girl Unie* who was incredibly warm, attentive, and helpful throughout the journey. The activities were well organized, the food was delicious, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing yet memorable.
