We arrived in Hanoi and booked a trip to Halong bay on the website: http://www.halongphoenixcruiser.com and it was our first trip to Halong bay. The staff has been fantastic and good attitude. The only problem was that the public toilet was little smelly because that day the boat was full. However it was taken care of quickly after I mentioned... more

Halong Bay - not to be missed ! We booked *Pinta Cruiser* (colombuscruises.com) online - a smaller Junk than many on the bay, but the smaller numbers made our trip extremely enjoyable - everyone mixed well (I guess we were lucky to have been on a Junk with an extraordinary bunch of ppl from various parts of the world) -... more

Last time i went to Halong Bay i got ripped off, booked at any tourist agent and ended up on a cockroach filled boat with 35 other pple this time i did my research and found vega travel. They do budget tours but you get a lot for your dollar, tour cost USD $72 per person for one night, picked... more

We stayed 4 nights at the Elegance 4, the newest of the chain and could not speak more highly of the service. The staff were helpful, informative and professional. Even though our room overlooked the street, the noise wasn’t a problem. In addition, it was within walking distance to almost all the sites in the Old Quarter. However, we didn’t... more

Loved our trip to Halong Bay, especially with the tour company Indochina Sails! The service was absolutely 5 star, with an incredibly clean and beautifully decorated boat, lovely rooms, incredible food (the best I had in all of Vietnam was the seafood BBQ the chefs prepared us!) and really fun activities including the most beautiful kayaking I've ever seen amongst... more

Booked for one night on Pinta Cruiser Gold and everything was perfect. Our guide Kiem was just superb and the food and cold drinks just kept coming. The kayaking was kind of tough so would only recommend it for the fit, but I think they choose the area according to the group. It was a long drive both days and... more

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Halong Bay. We booked with Handspan, Ma May street in Hanoi, and we are very pleased with the whole tour. We had a wonderfull guide, Khanh, who was nice, knew what he was talking about and gave us enough space to enjoy the beauty of the Bay. We were very... more

The Red Dragon tour was one of the highlights of our vacation in Vietnam. The food was AMAZING! We had a bunch of excellent people on our boat and had a great time kayaking, drinking, and chatting with the other passengers. Hai is hilarious and an excellent guide. We wished we could have stayed longer than one night. It was... more

Hi all, Just returned to Hanoi from our Ha Long Bay trip. What a beautiful place - we absolutely loved it. Although the trip got off to a shaky start - the bus was running a bit late and we were starting to panic about our pickup. But they were there shortly after 9am and one look at the traffic... more
