女ひとり旅

部屋が一階のボイラー室の隣でうるさく、しかもシャンプーが備えてなかったので、ガイドに言ったらすぐに取り付けてくれたけど正規の容器がなかったみたいで別の容器に入れて輪ゴムでぶら下げてくれたのには笑えた！ 部屋もバスルームも安宿の雰囲気だった。 でもガイドはとても親切でカヌーを一人で漕ぐのはしんどいので頼んだら一緒に漕いでくれて日本語の歌も歌ってくれて楽しい時間を過ごせた(o^^o)御飯は毎回大量の美味しい料理だった！天気は悪かったけど充実したクルーズだった！

Moyen

Au départ le chauffeur nous annoncé que ce n'est pas la croisiere que nous avions payé mais que nous sommes surclassé sur un plus beau bateau et nous demande de ne pas en parler aux autres voyageurs !!! Ça démarre plutôt mal, le trajet en bus est interminable et le bus est très vieux et surtout très inconfortable. On arrive à l'embarcadère et des dizaines de bus sont présents, il y a du monde partout. On attend encore et on fini par partir. Le déjeuner sur le bateau est servi à l'assiette mais le repas n'est pas bon : fade, sans saveur et en très faible quantité et les boissons sont en supplément (même l'eau). La chambre est sympa et le bateau bien décoré. Première escale sur un îlot d'où l'on grimpe les uns derrière les autres un escalier pour voir un point de vue... Excursion horrible avec énormément de monde. Puis kayak de mer et baignade, plutôt sympa. Le soir dîner moyen mais soirée agréable sur le toit terrasse. Petit déjeuner moyen et déjeuner de meilleure qualité. Ballade au milieu de la baie avec musique typique ce qui nous plonge dans une ambiance sympa. La fin de la croisière nous fait oublier le premier jour.

Very nice trip

We stayed on board one night and then in a lovely bungalow at Catba Sandy Beach Resort the second. The staff, food? And service were wonderful both nights. The boat however, was due to be retired. I should add that there are many others in this condition. Look closelywhen you book.

他のクルーズ船はハノイまでの送迎が有料ですが、このクルーズは無料でした。宿泊2週間前くらいにピックアップ場所はどこですか？とメールが来ます。ハノイの滞在ホテルを知らせると、ピックアップ時間を教えてくれました。（ちゃんと時間通りにお迎えが来ました） 2階のダブルの部屋にはバルコニーがついています。部屋は狭いですが、ほぼ寝るだけなので問題なし。電力の問題でエアコンが夕食後〜朝食前しか稼働しないので、夏は暑くてそれ以外の時間は部屋にいられません。 説明はすべて英語ですが、半分くらい理解できなくてもなんとかなりました。 小さな船で乗船人数が少ないので、参加者とはけっこうすぐに仲良くなれます。夜のイカ釣りが意外と盛り上がり、楽しかったです。

Great way to experience Halong Bay

Free transfer from Hanoi to Halong, good bus driver, but seats were hard and not that comfortable for a 4 hour journey. Tour guide was great and followed us through from Hanoi to Halong and back to Hanoi. Very friendly and helpful. Great experience for the cruise, no wifi though, and it was hot and air-condition can only be on at night for sleeping, but we were mostly out of the room. Even then our room had a private balcony which had a nice view of the bay. We had a nice evening for squid fishing where you can really see the squids, fishes jellyfishes swimming right below you. The program they had for us for the 2 day 1 night was just nice and flexible.

Very touristy

Can't compare this cruise to other Halong Bay cruises, but experience for us was subpar (especially given the price). The bus journey was not comfortable and the whole thing felt very rushed, with restricting times for meals (e.g. breakfast at 6.45 - 7.30). When we challlenged the bill in the end (were overcharged for coffee / drinks by 50%), the staff got very aggressive. If this is the norm at Halongn Bay, I'd say skip it all together, if not, then try another cruise.

Book elsewhere

Very disappointed with our stay here. As soon as we checked in to our room, it was obvious they'd switched the boat without telling us. I specifically booked a boat with a separate shower but the boat we stayed on had the toilet and shower combined. Furthermore, my friends and i all found cockroaches in our rooms. I asked the manager about this and he confirmed they switched the boat. He then went on to explain that it's only 1 night so it shouldn't be a big deal. As for the cockroaches, he explained that it's just the season and not due to cleanliness. I live in Vietnam, however, and so long as I clean my house thoroughly every week, I don't get cockroaches. I'm certain it's because they don't clean thoroughly enough; the washrooms were filthy and smelled like sewage. I would avoid booking through this company. It seems, according to the other reviews, if you get a good boat you'll have a great time. But if they switch the boat without telling you, youll be stuck with dirty rooms and cockroaches.. And they wont acknowledge a legitimate complaint or try to rectify it in any way. I understand this a midrange boat so I adjusted my expectations. I was not expecting a fabulous and fancy room. I only expected to receive what I paid for and I did not.

Bateau un peu vétuste extérieurement mais prestation de qualité : navigation tanquille quasi solitaire, stop de nuit très calme + repas très copieux, très bien cuisinés et variés. Personnel serviable même si l'expression en anglais courant du guide posait quelques problèmes de compréhension. un séjour qui a pleinement repondu à nos attentes. Très bon rapport qualité /prix.

The best memory in Vietnam

Can't believe it's so great. We were amazed when we opened our room.it's clean, beautiful and it's surprisingly the best accommodation we lived in Vietnam. The staff care about everyone, they are polite and professional. Kayaking is funny and the Halong bay is so so beautiful....also,the food is delicious. Wish we could stay more nights! It gave us the best romantic memory in Vietnam during our first travel, thanks to the company so much.

A good way to enjoy beautiful Halong Bay

We wanted to spend a night on Halong Bay. Honestly, there are so many cruise options we simply chose randomly. We weren't disappointed. The Bay is magnificent and the boat took us to all the highlights. I didn't have super-high expectations of the boat itself so I found it very adequate. Our tour guide was terrific. Also, and this is a big plus, we were picked up and dropped off from our hotel in Hanoi. The staff on the boat itself left a bit to be desired. The cabin and bathroom was small but clean and comfortable.

Halong Bay

Boat was simple and basic, but fine. 16 passengers which meant everyone could get to know each other. Staff on board and tour guide were very good. Food was plentiful and they went to trouble of asking people for dietary preferences. The trip was amazing, and well worth the long coach journey to get there.

Nice boat, extremely helpful and friendly staff

We were upgraded to the 4-star boat, so this review does not reflect the 3.5 star boat we had booked. The staff on our boat were very friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond for us. I had a special dietary restriction that they adhered to for every meal and assured me of the contents of my food upon serving EVERY course. The schedule for the boat cruise was perfect, a mix of activity with down time. Further, my husband misplaced his cell phone on the bus ride back to the city and they were able to trace it down for him and bring it back to us before we flew out that evening. We were so impressed by how they went above and beyond for him.

Ótimo passeio mas barco um pouco velho.

Tivemos um upgrade para o barco Royal Palace. Mas não achei o barco tão bom assim. Teoricamente é um 4 estrelas mas achei o quarto bem pequeno e o barco poderia estar em um estado melhor. O ônibus que nos levou pra lá foi bom. Os funcionários eram muito atenciosos e fizeram o passeio e a estadia valer a pena. A comida também estava boa apesar das bebidas não estarem incluídas e serem um pouco caras. A Internet praticamente não funcionava mas isso não chega a ser um problema quando você está em uma região tão bonita.
