Great experience with nice crew, cabins, food and activities such as kayaking, cooking and cycling on Cat Ba. Crew even checked for allergies etc. Only downsides: Payment for every drink was required and no communication in advance, especially since we were the only 3D2N on the boat and got a special tour. We would do it again!

We had a wonderful experience. I guess most cruises are similar, but what made this one stand out was our guide Peter (Thanh). He took really good care of us, spoke English well, was always available. Thanks, Peter!

HaLong Bay, located in northern Vietnam, is one of the most stunning natural landscapes in Southeast Asia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With more than 1,600 limestone islands and islets emerging from the emerald water of the Gulf of Tonkin, its mystical beauty has been the source of local legends for centuries. According to tradition, it was formed by celestial dragons that spat jewels to protect Vietnam from invaders. Beyond its scenic landscape, HaLong Bay offers unforgettable experiences. Exploring its caves, such as the massive Sung Sot (Cave of Surprise), reveals hidden chambers with millennia-old stalactites. Kayaking between rock formations and natural tunnels allows an intimate connection with this unique environment, often in total silence, surrounded by intact nature. Within the bay, is the quiet village of Viet Hai, located on Cat Ba Island. Surrounded by mountains and rainforest, it is ideal for hiking or cycling. Its community retains a traditional lifestyle, offering visitors an authentic view of Vietnamese rural life.

Our experience with la pandora cruise was exceptional with then. Regardless of a few people on the cruise that were quite rude. Besides that the captain and his crew were phenomenal. The rooms were quite spacious, clean and well maintained as well. And also our tour guide for the 2 days peter. Was energetic and keeping us all up to date with the itinerary and also let us know that we had to do an activity beforehand as well.

We had a nice stay for our 3 days 2 nights experience with Kevin/Hung and staff. The food was good, especially the 4 course lunch on arrival. There were plenty of activities organized and enough time to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Excellent experience in La Pandora with cody. We spent 2 night and 1 day in La pandora cruise and we enjoyed a lot with our family. We enjoyed the kayaking and there were few hiccups which was resolved quickly by cody. Experience of swimming was also amazing in the halong bay. All the services were good and entire staff was very friendly. One of the excellent experience was limestone cave visit that was a great experience.
