We had a great time today on the day long cruise. Lovely, serene journey. All staff were excellent and they even arranged a surprise cake and sing a long for my wife’s birthday! Food and activities were all excellent - and the rowing boat trip under the rocks to the lagoon was a highlight. All organisation was 10/10 and happy hour drinks were expertly delivered by our lovely waitress Le Quyen. We even had free professional photos taken by the lead organiser.

A fabulous day out with Jade Sails to Halong Bay. Picked up in luxury limo from our hotel and driven to luxurious boat. Staff were absolutely delightful, in particular Vinny and Lily. Great itinerary- very good mix of delicious lunch , relaxing time and activities. Of course the scenery stunning and beautiful to see from deck. Highly recommend this tour. More expensive than other trips but promise it’s worth it.

We had a wonderful experience. The staff provided white glove service. The views are stunning. You cruise for a bit then park and have the option to either kayak or hop in a boat (paddled by a local) to go see a cave and a cove that had very few people in it. We really enjoyed this and it was a great way to see the beauty of Ha Long. Shout out to Le Quyen for great service! You won’t regret booking this. Note: the jacuzzi was not heated and far too cold to use. Also they stop for 30 minutes on the way to the ship at a local pearl market in hopes that you will buy things. Sort of annoying but that seems to be the way things go in Vietnamese tours as this has happened on each of our tours.

Ha long bay My sister, daughter, granddaughter and I had a wonderful cruise today. The food was delicious, great timing for all the activities, fun entertainment and excellent service. We want to give a shout out to crew member, Otis. Otis made sure we knew what was happening, brought us treats and took care of us on the tour. Thank you Jadesails and Otis for a memorable day on beautiful HaLong Bay.
