I had a great cruise with Lavender in Ha Long Bay. It was a beautiful ship. I love how they decorated the sundeck, very pretty with colorful flowers. My guide Minh was amazing. He is very friendly, helpful and nice. Highly suggest this cruise for budget travelers.

Every meal is guaranteed to leave you satisfied and smiling. Our guide Tai was super funny and knowledgeable, and the cruise staff were professional and friendly.
We were a bit disappointed since there were too many people. If you travel on the weekend, expect tourists everywhere. maybe we should choose another time or travel on other routes.

Everything was amazing. The boat is very cozy. The staff was kind and helpful. I love the trip to Luon Cave, kayaking there was very fun. Keep in mind that the bay is packed during summer, you should avoid traveling on the weekend.
Halong Bay really has beautiful scenery. The weather is a bit hot during my stay but that was expected
I booked the Lavender boat for 2 days tour, the food is very good, the staff is friendly, and the guide Quang is nothing to criticize. Overall not bad for a 3-star cruise.
Thank you very much!
Ha Long has very beautiful scenery. There are many small islands and caves on the bay, which is very dreamy.

However, the weather is a bit hot, you shouldn’t travel to the bay from June to August if you hate the sunny weather.
Every time I come to Ha Long, it leaves me with a warm feeling of hospitality to both nature and people. I will often travel here and introduce it to many of my friends.
