We did the 2 days, 1 night cruise with Bhaya. Comfortable room, small but nice with loads of hot water and friendly staff. Food was ok and varied. Enjoyed the fishing village and cave excursions. It was an incredible experience, we love it! If we go back to Halong Bay we definitively will do it again, beautiful trip :) Only... More

Other than the weather (it rained or drizzled the entire time) the bay was so amazing. So peaceful, so quiet, so interesting to see the people that live there. The scenery was beautiful More

Even on a dull day, this place shines. Was cold, grey and overcast when we were there, but that didn't detract from the beauty of the place. Well worth a visit. More

There are 2 aspects to this review as I could not figure out any other way to do this. Part 1 of my review is about the bay itself. part 2 of my review is about the tour company as it plays an very important factor in your overall experience. We booked with Bai Tu Long company for a 2... More

I couldn't believe that we were sailing in a fairy tale, watching the giant rocks/islands as we pass between them. Serenity, peace and the beauty of the landscape touched my soul. I understand why Halong Bay was chosen as one of the new 7 wonders. And I feel lucky to be there at the exact date it was announced. More

I heard some not so nice stories about cruises in Ha Long bay. Touristy, army-like time management and lack of safety. I didn't experience this at all on my Bhaya Cruise. The staff are friendly and professional. They're organized without being too pushy. The time was short for a person who wants to do many things like myself (kayaking, swimming,... More

We did the 2-day/1-night cruise, which was just the right amount of time. We booked through Handspan Travel Agency in Hanoi Old Quarter, just two days in advance. Handspan is reputedly more ecofriendly than most agencies. Their transfer operation was smooth and comfortable. The drive to Halong City took 3 and a half hours, 4 hours return. Having heard the...

There is no option Family, or Family with adult children, I have to choose Family with teenagers. On our 22 days tour around Vietnam we took a one night/two days cruise on Ha Long Bay. The operator was Indochina Junk, our vessel was Lagoon Explorer. We were five adults and we had the whole ship to ourselves, with a 5... More
