Wonderful Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay tour - A great expereince. The Ninh Bing tour was lots of fun. Took as to a large Buddhist temple complex in the morning, then through the river system with the limestone cliffs on all sides. We then then did a walk up to the hill top with stunning views. The second day we went into the Halong Bay cruise ship. I was able to get an upgrade to the Panorama Suite for free which was excellent. The staff onboard were very helpful and made it comfortable and enjoyable.

Beautiful sight - I were interested in Halong Bay's scene. So beautiful sight in romantic cruise and delicious dining. The water was quite calm for swimming. I also liked to ride a boat to the limestone caves in Ninhbinh and traditional home-cooked meal with a local family....

Halong Bay 2 days 1 night - Great trip in a smaller group. Mr Nam was our guide, he did a great job & the crew on the boat went above and beyond. The food is nice and keeps rolling out, no way will you go hungry. Kayaking at sunset was spectacular & the tour of the fishing village was amazing. Suggest loading up on bottled water at a circle K in Hanoi before leaving, water on aboard is expensive. Don’t buy anything from the shop you stop at on the drive to and from Hanoi, the prices are extremely overpriced. This tour was a great experience & we got to meet lots of people.

Umfangreiches Angebot - It was a very nice trip to Bai to Long Bay with Signature Cruise. Our room was comfortable and big, the food very good ( Buffet, a la carte ) We visited the floating fishing market with a bamboo-boat, an austerfarm and a cave. Bai to Long Bay is not so busy, only 20 passengers on board.

Good price for value and excellent staff - We took the « romantic » night which means upper floor room with small balcony. It was good idea as other rooms on 1st floor have only windows. Staff is really nice, cruise is very good with good activities: cave exploring, 1h kayaking, nem cooking experience, fishing village visit. Drinks are really reasonable about 5$ a cocktail and even 3.5$ during happy hours and happy hours is about 80% of the time (just normal price during lunch and diner). Small boat only 8 cabins in total

Waste of money - We booked for 3 days and they only have activities for 1, so we had to sit around and wait for other people, because we either already did the activity or going to do it the next day. The only thing we can do is to buy their overpriced drinks or kayak on open sea, which isnt fun for beginners. They charge you for water on this boat, The food is absolute trash, example our fried chicken was burning hot on the outside and raw cold on the inside with blood, so they just took our half eaten chicken threw it back in their deep fry and brought it back, disgusting. We got sent to an different boat for 6 hrs because the original boat had to turn back to port to drop off and pick up people and the only thing we can do on the new boat was kayak, once we returned to our boat, guess what the only activity we can do? It is still just kayak. Not fun when the wakes in the sea can topple your lil kayak any second and one time we got a broken paddle so only 1 of us can paddle. Will not recommend this to anyone. Its perhaps ok for 1-2 days, anything longer is just torture.
