TripAdvisor Review
According to The Halong Catamaran on TripAdvisor, the cruise receives particularly positive feedback for its spacious, modern setting, attentive crew, and high-quality dining, with several guests pleasantly surprised by the six-course lunch. Travelers also enjoy the more relaxed itinerary, including kayaking or bamboo-boat trips, swimming in a secluded area, and a cooking class. Individual guides and crew members are frequently praised for being friendly, informative, and attentive throughout the day.
A few older reviews mention that parts of the boat looked somewhat dated (it was recently renovated). Overall, the reviews point to a comfortable and enjoyable luxury day cruise with good food, thoughtful service, and a well-paced range of activities.

United StatesA quick visit to Lan Ha Bay, short but enough for me to get a glimpse of this spectacular bay.
Kayaking in Dark & Bright Cave was easy and fun. After that, there was a nice refreshing swim. The perfect end for a day trip.

AustraliaThe cruise went smoothly thanks to BestPrice Travel. A day cruise was pretty short but enough to have a quick glimpse of the bay. The boat was new and the staff was nice. I'll book an overnight cruise next time.

GermanyWe joined the Halong Catamaran day cruise to Lan Ha Bay and loved it. The boat was modern and spacious, the staff were friendly, and the food was much better than expected. Kayaking and swimming in the quieter parts of Lan Ha Bay were real highlights.
All in all, it’s a comfortable and worthwhile way to experience the bay in one day.

AustraliaMr. Phuoc, the person in charge of the ship, made appointments and welcomed us very thoughtfully. All the staff are attentive, enthusiastic, and charming, especially the person in charge, named Phuoc. The cruise is very reasonable in terms of time frames and offers the most beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha. Especially, the price was too cheap compared to the quality at the time we went in June.
