We did a 2D1N tour of the dragon pearl with another family and our children; it was the absolute best! The staff was helpful and friendly, with a great sense of humor.
The scenery of Halong bay is breathtaking, and we loved the kayaking, swimming & cave tour.
The food was probably the best we had eaten in our two-week stay in Vietnam, and there was so much of it!
We highly recommend this tour!
What a fantastic tour. The team on board was so kind and friendly. Our room was spotless. The food was incredible, but I am a seafood lover, and seafood for breakfast was too much. We enjoyed swimming on the beach and visiting the fishing village!
3-day, 2-night Bai Tu Long Bay cruise - excellent from start to finish. The small boat with only 20 passengers, fun activities, a lovely cabin, and pretty good food. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. The crew was all very kind and helpful. We highly recommend it!
The Indochina Dragon Pearl junk was an incredible experience. We booked the 2-day, 1-night experience, which has been an absolute highlight of our trip to North Vietnam.
The views were breathtaking, and we enjoyed traveling to Bai Tu Long bay. The karst formations are beyond words!
