Ha Long Bay is Vietnam’s top destination and it is often crowded every day, special in summer and weekends. However, we always ensure smooth logistics and top-quality service for your best experience.

5.00Ho long bay trip was fantastic, however there is room for improvement. 1. The food was satisfactory, there should be be a choice of meal, and if not wanted it should be reflected in the price. I saw how much went to waste 2 . The cocktail offer came at the wrong time, as soon as my drink arrived it was time to get off the boat. Beside these factors I thoroughly enjoyed the trip- speed boating was fun. (Also there should be a option to pay for this when booking the excursion upfront) 3. Provide an option where you only do the Ha Long Bay cruise, the other elements adds to the day - more time spent on cruise could be better . Ken - our guide was brilliant, could not fault him in any way.
