5.00I did the 2-day/1-night cruise of Halong Bay and loved every minute. Our tour guide Peter was great, very informative and helpful. The tour picks you up in Hanoi and is a 4 hour bus ride to the bay. From there you board the ship and immediately start your journey! The groups are small which is nice and easy to get to know everyone. I went as a solo traveler and made great friends with the other couples and families on the ship. The rooms are decent for 1 night, the rooms are small and the beds aren’t the most comfortable but it is a small ship and it’s just 1 night, there is AC and hot water showers which was very nice! The food was some of the best I’ve had, the boat staff work very hard to prepare meals and make sure all your needs are met. My favorite activity was kayaking around the bay! We also did some treks through caves and to the top of a mountain for breathtaking views! I would absolutely recommend this tour!

5.00We went on a 2 day trip to Halong Bay from Hanoi and it was amazing! Such a beautiful location, very peaceful and serene. Our tour guide Arrow was great, very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was really nice and exceeded our expectations, the room was a decent size with big windows and the bathroom was big too with nice facilities - everything was really clean. The itinerary for each part of the trip was explained really well by Arrow who let us know exactly what we’d be doing and what we’d need to take. The food was delicious and we were very well catered for!

5.00Great cruise with friends. We highly recommend! Hien, the guide, speaks English and French very well. It was appreciable. He has very good knowledge of the place since he has been doing this for 9 years. The activities offered are varied and interesting (cooking lessons, walking, swimming, kayaking, etc.).
Great experience!

5.00Very nice tour in a beautiful place! The cruise and tour is well-organized and the boat is very nice and welcoming. Arrow is an extremely respectful, funny and involving guide. The food on the boat is delicious and abundant: the meals were excellent!! The only 2 negative aspects (which however have nothing to do with the Lavender Cruise) are the crowds in every place you visit and, consequently, the amount of trash you find around. Besides that, definitely recommended!
