With well-organized activities and stunning scenery in Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay, La Pandora Cruise is a perfect choice for a relaxing and memorable getaway.
Very mixed bag

3.00The experience was quite mixed. Our guide Victor, the first day guide, was good, enthusiastic, made sure everyone is fully informed about activities and timings and was always available. The second dya/night, however, was a completely different story. I dont even know the guides name, as he didn't interact, didn't introduce himself, when the new group came onto the boat. I asked ,but was met with blank stares. His English was very limited, he did not interact with the group at all, and disappeared for most of the time. I did enjoy the full day at the Lan Ha bay, which was less touristy, and most importantly cleaner than Ha Long bay. The amount of rubbish floating on the water (which isn't very obviously tourist rubbish) is staggering! It quite spoils the views, and will soon spoil the reputation of Ha Long bay, too. Overall the tour was ok, I would however Lan Ha rather than Ha Long.
Great tour

4.00Great 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!
Wonderful and majestic experience. From the minute we were picked up we felt part of the family the whole trip

A wonder of nature

5.00HaLong 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.

5.00Our 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.
