Viet Hai Village

Today we booked the Lan Ha Bay tour from Hanoi, and our guide was Binh. First, they texted us to remind us that they were going to give us two options because one of their boats was broken, and they gave us the choice to either cancel and be refunded or continue the trip on another boat. The other boat that they provided was really nice, as shown here in the photos. And Binh, our guide, was so much fun. He was very funny, he was very knowledgeable of the history of Vietnam, and especially in Cat Ba, and he ensured that we were safe and we enjoyed ourselves. We also had a good time in the itinerary. This is highly recommended. We are so glad that we chose Lan Ha Bay instead of Halong Bay because it was really peaceful and there were not much other tours and ships present. The whole team of Serenity even took note of small details such as placing a fan in front of us when we were feeling a little bit warm and Binh kindly offered to take pictures of us using his camera!

Kryssningen var extremt bra. De firade vår årsdag och gav oss en bröllopssvit. Vår värd Hulk var mycket bra. Han var artig, respektfull och gjorde vår årsdag minnesvärd. Denna kryssning rekommenderas varmt, varmt!

today was a great day in the lan ha bay when i chose the serenity cruise tour from my pickup spot in hanoi they made sure to take care of the rest, and the tourguide Ha-ha was thoroughly entertaining.

much better than expected, perfect 5 star review. I am a vegetarian and they provided full vegetarian course and indian course much more than I could get in india and much better quality.

Celina-kryssningen var en helt fantastisk upplevelse. Mellan de fantastiska och fläckfria rummen och den exceptionella maten och servicen förstår vi varför denna kryssning är en av de bästa i Ha Long Bay. Även om den var lite dyr, vägde den otroligt bekväma sängen och den fantastiska utsikten upp för det. Poolen hade perfekt temperatur med en vacker utsikt och aktiviteterna på dag 1 var jättebra. Även om morgonaktiviteterna på dag 2 ställdes in på grund av ett åskväder, var kryssningen fortfarande en perfekt upplevelse tack vare den oslagbara gästfriheten med fantastisk personal. Ett särskilt omnämnande till Felix, Phuong Anh och Ronald för deras exceptionella service och för att de alltid gjorde det lilla extra för oss. Förhoppningsvis är vi tillbaka snart!

The overall experience was wonderful. The biggest highlight of this boat is that there are very few guests, with only 4 cabins, making the entire trip very quiet and relaxing, completely free from the hustle and bustle of large tour boats. It is very suitable for people who want to unwind. Special praise goes to our tour guide, Thai, who was extremely friendly and responsible, and took great care of us. As for the dining, because there are few guests, the variety of dishes may not be as extensive as on large boats, but they made up for it with high quality and great taste; you could tell the ingredients were very fresh. If you are looking for a private and quiet trip to Lan Ha Bay, this is a great choice.

The hotel pickup and drop-off service was very convenient, and the scenery of Lan Ha Bay was amazing. It was great to have some simple fruit provided after kayaking and swimming.

One of the great trips and memories in my Vietnam trip. Whenever I will plan to visit Vietnam I will book it again. Good food, good rooms, and great staff.

We did the tour with Aspira Cruise and overall it was quite good. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were decent, and they gave us a free upgrade. We did the 3-day, 2-night option. If you go for just one day, it's not worth it; you only do kayaking and not much else. The next day, they take you back to the coast at 10:00 AM. If you stay for two days, on the second day they took us to a really cool floating fish farm. I recommend it, but also be mindful of the weather. If it rains, there's nothing to do.
