The view is amazing and all the activities were really cool. The only thing which wasn’t as amazing was the food on the cruise… But other than that, I would highly recommend it! Thank you, Sunny!”

Diamond Era Cruise explores Halong Bay from Hanoi with Sung Sot Cave, kayaking, Titop Island, buffet lunch, and sunset views for $48.

“Halong Bay is such a beautiful place and we should have booked an overnight cruise! The weather was beautiful this Thursday and we enjoyed every single activity recommended - cave, kayak, and hike. The buffet lunch was Ok. I wish to acknowledge our tour guide Andy who did his very best to make sure that each family group was looked after and kept happy despite a group of disrespectful and challenging passengers. The sunset “party” on the top deck was fun but the music was too loud and noisy for such a beautiful and serene view. Overall it was a great day at Halong Bay!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,007 reviews · from $160

Review of a $160 private Halong Bay day tour from Hanoi with seafood lunch, Thien Cung Cave, kayaking, and bamboo boats.

“Without a doubt our guide, Gam, was a highlight of our tour. We had such a lovely cruise on the boat. Gam spoke very good English and provided us with a lot of information not only about the things we saw (Halong Bay is gorgeous!) but also the culture. I think kayaking was my highlight. Passing under long ledges to get into another open water space. We had the whole peaceful place to ourselves - worth every penny for a private tour. -- Christine”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 668 reviews · from $50

Review of a 2-day Halong Bay luxury cruise from Hanoi with caves, kayaking, swimming, meals, private balcony cabin, and practical tips.

“Our experience aboard the Victory Star was fantastic in terms of logistics and organization—everything was seamlessly arranged. Despite the ship’s age, it was comfortable and cosy, and the bathtub was a lovely touch that added to the experience. The food was good, and the service was professional and attentive. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side this time, with fog and rain throughout. However, this added a touch of mystery to the already stunning scenery, making Ha Long Bay feel even more enchanting. Due to the weather, we skipped the swimming session and missed out on the sunrise, but the overall experience was still wonderful. I would definitely recommend this…”
