One Thing about Vietnam is that the “Real Thing” is not always as good as it looks on the Brochures. Not the Dragon Pearl! We were a group of 13 and stayed for only one night, but one night is not enough next time and YES there will be a next time we will stay longer. I noticed up that... More

We went on the two day cruise on the Dragon Pearl and it was fantastic. Really well organised, very professional and the food was EXCELLENT. The boat is in great condition, the rooms are so lovely - it was quite unexpected when we opened the door as there is also a very nice bathroom. There is enough time for both... More

We just came back from our trip in Hanoi, Vietnam. After checking out the reviews from TA + the different websites offering different cruises, itinerary, and pricing, AND THE WEATHER FORECAST, we booked Dragon Pearl Cruise for 2 nights 3 days with Darian Cullbert. Indochina Junk is the ONLY Company that offers different package cruise to the Bai Tu Long... More

We did the 3 day/2 night cruise on the Dragon Pearl 3 junk and had a lovely time. The additional day on the itinerary takes you places that few other boats venture, making Halong Bay seem very quiet, serene and feel like we nearly had it to ourselves. The boat is very comfortable, the staff and our guide was excellent,... More

I took the Dragon's Pearl 3 for the two day one nighter. Booked through an agent, it was about $200, which I understand is about the norm on this line, for a solo person, unless you get an amazing last minute deal in Hanoi, in which case you probably aren't looking here for advise! As this did seem like a... More

This company serves excellent boat trips in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. We booked a trip on the 'Dragon Pearl 3' for 3 days and it exceeded our expectations. We paid about 125 USD per person, a bit more then the average tour operator in the Ha Long Bay area, but it was worth every penny. They pick you up at... More

Efficient communication in the booking process, with all emails returned promptly. We chose the Dragon Pearl 1, which had a medium sized group of 15 mature people on board. Cabins were comfortable and the food very enjoyable. Trips to beach, caves, school and floating village were fun and a nice way to stretch your legs. Scenery was beautiful and cruising... More

My husband and I did the 3D/2N cruise on board the Dragon's Pearl II in early February 2012. Well, to me it was a so-so cruise only as the meals and facilities were not as good as expected for the price we paid. There was not enough hot water for shower and the water pressure was low. There were times... More

Did a 3D/2N tour and it was fantastic. The weather was cold and damp but it didn’t stop us from enjoying the scenery. The crew and our tour guide (Ahn) were fabulous – couldn’t get any better. Pick up and check in went smoothly, cabins were warm, plenty of hot water, and food was good and plentiful. Water refills are... More

Highly recommend this ship! Organisation before boarding was a little bit long and din't seem too organised, but once on the ship we were highly surprised. The ship is in great condition, well maintained. It is one of the middle priced ships in Halong ( about $150/person) but well worth the money. Cabins were absolutely clean, the crew super friendly,... More
