5.00Very good experience. Tour guide Vic was extremely welcoming and friendly, offered lots of information about the bay and its history. Crew on the boat and Vic were happy to help with anything and the whole experience was lovely. Food was good, and lots was provided. The one night stay was the perfect amount of time to see the bay, swim and kayak in the water. The bay you stay in over night is so much quieter then ha long bay and so the views are spectacular with no other boats.
Ha Long cruise- unforgettable

5.00Was a very nice experience, all the the staff was friendly and profesional. Our tour guide Duc, was attentive friendly and had a very good sense of humor. He explain us very interesting things about the culture in Vietnam and about the places we was visiting. He also give us some advices about our trip in Vietnam and always make us feel welcome. The food was amazing, congratulations to the chef, the drinks and the service also amazing. Dont remember the names but definitely all the staff deserve a raise of the salary heheh. Not less important, the captain was a full profesional, you can see he knows what he is doing, and we felt safe in every moment. Also dont remember his name, but he have a Big welcome smile. Rooms clean, the same you can see in pictures, little fancy boat with not to many people. Overall, would do It again, and would recomend It to everybody. Specially for the ones than dont want a Cruise and activitys full of people. Drinks a bit more expensive than on the main land, but its a Cruise and a beautiful escenario, so its worth It. Thanks a lot to the tripulation, to our tour guide Duc and to Renea cruises to have this amazing staff and make this experience posible.
Satisfactiin to the expected level Bravo

5.00Just back from our 2D/1N cruise on Tu Long / Halong Bay. Our Junk Boat had 28 guests, which made it so much more enjoyable than the bigger “cattle boats” We enjoyed the cruise, the food was great, kayaking, swimming, cooking class, Tai Chi were all awesome activities, and our Cruise director Vic exceptional. Everything is well organized. Highly recommended
Everything was flawless group management, activities, food and our guide Vic has a lot of leadership, caring

5.00Everything was great. Bai Tu Long Bay Was really beautiful, quiet and pristine nature. Rena Cruise was really well organized, kind and smiley staff, small pretty wooden cruise. Húng was an amazing guide, always attentive and present and always willing to make people laugh and ready to answer to all their questions -oh whatever nature they were. As a colleague, I know that keeping such attitude every day is a note of Merit, so I want to express my congratulations to all and a note of Excellence for Húng, the best tour guide I met in Vietnam! He should be valued for this!
