Boat Trip in Halong

Amazing, the view and attention of guide Kien and the other crew members was the greatest, always attentive to everything we required. The walk was only two days long but well worth it; we even had so many activities that it felt like we were there for longer. The view from the boat is a dream, as if we were in a calm sea and sheltered by mountains of green roses. We were very delighted with the experience, 100% recommended, and still very inexpensive.

Great, we are really pleased we booked this cruise.

The voyage was enjoyable; it was just a shame that we were unable to enter the dark and dazzling cave due to the tide. (Low water)
Our seaplane ride was an unforgettable experience.
You did and still do an excellent job for the 4 of us.

Captivating views of nature must be experienced

Halong Bay is a renowned tourist destination in northern Vietnam. We appreciated the amazing vistas of infinite islands (1969, according to our tour guide) in Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island! I booked this vacation with best price travel.com, and they handled all of the transportation and logistics. Thank you to Haley from Best Price for keeping in touch and assisting us during our vacation! The Cruise was also enjoyable. The crew and personnel were really welcoming and kind.

Thank you for a wonderful two days!

Of course, we had a nice and elegant time on the ship, but thanks to our excellent tour guide, we also had a great time touring Halong Bay caves, kayaking, trekking, and swimming in the sea. The tour guide was equally pleasant and smiled.
