Larger than The Prince and Princess it is still small enough to get up close to the natural wonders, pocket lagoons and small fishing communities of Halong and Bai Tu Long bays. « less

Halong Bay is two things - 1. Jam packed full of tourists and 2. An absolute must for anyone who has the opportunity and the funds! The Bay itself is full of tourist boats for a reason, because it is an absolutely amazing and truly unique experience. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site for a reason & it's one of... More

Halong Bay was choosen one of the seven world natural wonders with all the justice. The place is absolutely fantastic, with more than 3000 limestone monolithic islands, desert beaches and beatutiful caves in north Vietnam, 170 kilometers from Hanoi. The best way, maybe the only way to visit the site is in a junk cruise through the bay. I and... More

I traveled with three friends to Ha Long Bay for an overnight trip to HLB. We booked two single and one double room. All of our rooms were pleasant and clean. My only issue with our room was we never had any hot water. It seems the rooms on one side of the hall had hot water but our side... More

It is not easy choosing a junk boat tour in Halong Bay, so we scoured through the reviews to help us decide. The Red Dragon and company had good, honest reviews and now I type to say that they were EVEN better than what was said. Firstly, the ride from Hanoi is looong; however with this tour company you enter... More

Red Dragon junk boat was a spectacular cruise around Halong Bay which I can say was pretty awe inspiring. My gf and I chose this junk over few other companies because of how well regarded the Indochina Company and the very small/intimate group size of the boat. Pre boarding facility was nice/organized. We dropped our luggage off earlier and it... More

The journey to halong bay from Hanoi is a forgettable one to say the least, dreary scenery and you have to stop where they want you to. Halong bay is very beautiful , the boat was very nice, rooms excellent. The drinks are expensive and the food is good, but what made this trip for us was the crew and... More

The boat was lovely, and our room superb. The robes provided were a nice touch, and we made use of them for watching the sun rise. We went with Red Dragon (despite their price being almost 3 times the other option) because of a great review by someone else. I have to say that, overall, we were disappointed. We jokingly... More

I had a wonderful 2-day/1-night trip on the Prince II, primarily due to our sweet guide, Huong (I can't remember how to spell her last name). I chose this company and one of their smaller boats to avoid the large and noisy tour groups that also visit the bay. There were only six other guests with me onboard, which allowed... More

The 2 days/1 night trip is a 24 hour boat trip (pluss 2 times 4 hour bus trip from Hanoi). The boat was nice and cabins were above expectations (with private shower, restroom). Crew was friendly. Food was ok. The request for tips at the end of the trip was a little bit disturbing More
