AMAZING!! - The best cruise I have ever been on! Such an amazing experience that I will never forget. The food and scenery was to die for!!. The tour guides I had were both incredible, I had Vu and Ha as the guides on my cruise, they were they had such incredible knowledge on everything we did on this trip. I highly recommend this cruise, definitely value for money! The rooms were small but cozy and the views from the bedroom window were stunning! Kayaking was definitely the highlight, and we even got to see monkeys!😁

Great 3 days/ 2 nights in Lan Ha bay - The staff were helpful & polite. We enjoyed the kayaking very much, we did three times: first afternoon, second afternoon & third morning. The biking around the villages on the second day was very good as well. They offered excellent food for Eater but more tofu for Vegetarian will be perfect!

Relaxing exploration of Vietnam wonderful wonders of nature - Our cruise was all kinds of fantastic. Our three hosts (Ha, Tom and Vu) were enthousiastic, funny and helpful where needed. The food was some of the best we had in Vietnam, and that included meals for a vegetarian. Loved the scenery, loved the activities, nice cabins with comfortable beds. Highly recommended!

Overall very good but... - Did 2D/1N trip.Efficient pick up(though 1/2 hour early) from hotel in small coach. Guide explained journey to boat and we had a comfort stop part way. All asked to get on a boat and sit inside due to the rough waves in the harbour (good health and safety). After a drink all one and 2 night guests were asked to go upstairs whilst day trippers were served lunch. We then transferred to Lan Ha legend itself. Had cabin on upper deck. Were told some cabins on lower deck very noisy due to engines so sleep difficult for them. Had a lovely lunch, went kayacking through caves and had option to swim before a spring roll making class - more to it than you think! Had a wonderful dinner on the top deck. Itinerary said squid fishing,karaoke and silly games. Fortunately( in our opinion ) only squid fishing took place - though nothing caught which seems to be usual but it was fun trying. After a comfortable night had a reasonable breakfast - toast , omelette,fruit. Then more kayaking and net fishing(caught nothing). Sailed back through to Halong bay and was told we would be transferring to a speedboat to take us to the harbour. Life jackets issued and off we went. Arrived at harbour and were taken to a steep wall and asked to climb out. Fortunately our boat guide Linh was with us and she refused. Then told by boat man to take life jackets off and was taken to some steps but officials denied us landing. Eventually they took us to a neighbouring deserted beach and we jumped off into the water with all our bags. The poor guide was in tears. apparently usual boat couldnt take us that day and this was a new boat - certainly not one to be used again. We all felt like illegal immigrants and carrying bags over a sandy beach was not easy. Unfortunately that memory spoiled the overall experience

Good budget option - Halong Bay is beautiful. The food on-board was very good. The guides did a great job and were excellent with kids. The cabins were basic and small. All boats in Halong Bay follow a similar itinerary, so there’s always other groups of people. While the boat is basic, and doesn’t have the same amenities as some of the newer boats, its smaller size ensures there aren’t hoards of people around. The transfer process is long - boat to bus to ferry by foot and back to bus on return - and could be improved.
