Great value, must-see experience! - Our guide, Minh, was knowledgeable, fun, and thoughtful, making the entire experience enjoyable and well worth the value. When booking a tour like this, the company takes care of all the details to ensure you get where you need to be, which is greatly appreciated, especially when you’re in a foreign country and short on time. We were only in Hanoi for a few days, so adding this trip was a no-brainer—it was a fantastic way to explore a unique and beautiful landscape, distinct from the city. The cruise was clean, comfortable, and we docked in a calm bay, so there was no rocking while we slept. The food offered a great variety; however, as a vegetarian, I found the lunches to be just okay, while the dinner was spectacular. I highly recommend this trip; you won’t regret it—just book it!

Great experience - Once we arrived on the island, we embarked on a 2-day cruise in Lan Ha Bay aboard a small Sunlight Cruise ship, equipped with 5 comfortable cabins. We were warmly welcomed by our great Nam Guide. After a delicious first meal on board, exploration began: walking through the karst formations of the bay, kayaking in the remote lagoons, diving from the boat and swimming at sunset. To close this day, we took part in a cooking class led by our Guide. In the evening, our boat dropped anchor in a quiet corner of the bay. We shared a memorable evening with another family. On the program: tasty cocktails, wild karaoke. The next day, after waking up in the morning, we forked bicycles to discover a fishing village. There we tasted snake alcohol at 9am and tested the fish foot baths. Back on the boat, we enjoyed one last lunch while sailing between the floating villages and the fishermen's houses, before returning to the port.Nam, our Guide was always smiling and available. The staff on board were really friendly. Congratulations also to the cook for his delicious dishes.

Beautiful Cat Ba and Lan Ha bay tour - A truly amazing experience. We were blown away by the stunning scenery of Lan Ha bay. Loved the activities organised by our guide Linh, who was truly fantastic. Our boat was a lot of fun - Swimming, kayaking, happy hour and karaoke. The crew were great. The tour to the Viet Hai village was a bike ride through lush limestone cliffs - very pretty. We definitely recommend Linh and this tour.

Sunlight cruise review - Linh was a great guide for our boat. He made the night we stayed full of fun times and was great in explaining the meaning of things around Halong bay. We would recommend this tour for anyone as the views were spectacular and the activities were super fun.

AMAZING - The tour was amazing itself but this need to be mentioned, an agency named Loi and he was just AMAZING!! He went beyond and did absolutely everything to make sure my trip goes smoothly after recommending me change from Ha Long Bay to Cat Ba tour.. Even make sure my transport change and all of that. I wish I could give him bunch of Stars as he really deserved it!

Cruise Around Islands in Vietnam - My cruise around the islands in Vietnam was fantastic. Our guide, Linh, was excellent, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. I started in Cat Ba, which is where I was already but some people started in Hanoi, the company picked me up there and later dropped me off in Hanoi, which was very convenient. Company can arrange your location of start and end if between Hanoi or Cat Ba I think The cruise itself was wonderful, with comfortable rooms and beautiful scenery. Activities included kayaking, swimming, and a great dinner on the first day, and a tour of the islands with options for biking or riding a motorcycle on the second day. The food was great, and we had two lunches and one breakfast. The crew was friendly and provided excellent service. Highly recommended!
