★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 694 reviews · from $78.40

Review of the Halong Catamaran Premium Cruise, with Hanoi transfers, Lan Ha Bay kayaking, lunch, service, value, and practical tips.

“We got pickup at our hotel on time and the transport was very comfortable, clean and relaxing. However, the stopover on the drive to the boat wasn't just a bathroom break, it was also a place to sell tourists pearls (big time). The itinerary about the break doesn't mention that, so they are not quite honest about it. The catamaran was absolutely lovely, with a lot of seating options and it feels very exclusive. The lunch was very good and a lot! Keep in mind that the free water is not bottled water, it's the water coming from the sink. Visting the dark cave was very beautiful and impressive! Thanks…”
