Catamaran Halong Bay Tour

I bought a Catamaran day tour for Jan 2024 with BestPrice. The Agent MyUyen assisted us in booking the trip. She is very excellent and extremely helpful from beginning to end.
We would certainly return to MyUyen for future travels in Vietnam. Thank you so much.

We are looking at doing a day cruise on the 14th July. Two adults and our daughter who is 13. We are considering either the Jade Sails Luxury Cruise or the Halong Catamaran. We are keen to do activities and are looking for some luxury, which cruise would you recommend? Also our daughter is a fussy eater and would probably just prefer some steamed rice - could this be accommodated. Thank you

Hi! The Halong Catamaran is newer than Jade Sails and also a better choice for kids at your daughter age as it has water slider. About food, you can send your special request to our travel consultant at least 2-3 days before your trip so we can try our best to help you arrange.

Hello, I am interested your day cruise but I am not sure if and what kind of transport is included in the price for 99 USD for the 24/11/2023 for one person. On one side it is written that the price includes "Round–trip bus transfers using highway" but later on there is the following note "NOTE: The transfer service is up to your request. It's excluded from the cruise's price." So, could you please clarify this to me.
