We were also able to kayak to a remote beach. All tours are included in the price. If you're an Aussie, don't forget about 'Bali' Vietnam is the nicest vacation you'll ever have. Less

26/05/2022It was an incredible journey. It was quite peaceful, and the crew was very nice and willing to assist.
Mr.Raadhika Gupta
25/05/2022Friendly staff. We are vegetarians and the staff did their best to give us great taste and variety. The activities were well-organized.
It was a great overall experience, but some things you can consider for improvement: put some games (cards/board games) on the cruise and day boat; add some music/dance in the evening; explain a bit more about the location and geography as we cruise in the bay.
