At first, I wasn't sure, but after looking into the top cruises in Halong Bay, I found a few names and called a few of them. But, after hearing how Ms. Hera made sure to describe the cruise and share the cruise's images, I knew it would be the best for my vacation and I booked the same. One of my better decisions in life was that one. Their whole offering was exceptional considering the large number of responses and the extraordinarily kind hospitality. I look forward to returning here! Less
Everything was perfect
Lovely boat and tour, and the staff were so kind—many thanks to Alex and BestPrice for giving us this option of the cruise.
My expectations were high, but it is much above my expectations!
Wonderful experience! This cruise is very comfortable and luxurious. I experienced many things, like kayaking, squid fishing, and learning how to make spring rolls; incredible!
I stayed for two days and one night and highly recommend it to anyone who plans to Halong bay. This package will be the perfect package that includes kayaking, exploring caves, and many activities onboard.
Halong Bay is really majestic. Our cruise was wonderful with a variety of activities! Taichi's class and spa treatments truly refreshed us.
