We were concerned about spending two nights on a small boat, however although the Jasmine Junk was full, it never felt over crowded. There were only 8 of us on the day boat on the second day for the Cat Ba Island cycling and kayaking and it was an excellent day out. The food on the Jasmine was much better... More

We could not fault the food, the staff were lovely & the day trips were well organized & a lot of fun. Everyone on our boat had a wonderful time & of course,... More
