As we were on a private tour I cannot comment on the way to and from Hanoi but from the moment we arrived at the harbour we liked the experience very much. There is a welcome building with some snack options and some drinks waiting for you in case you are hungry from the drive. You will get a necklace... More

We booked the tour through buffalo tours. When we initially checked in the booking was made under just my christian name and they didn;t have anyother details. We were able to resolve the issue after the manager calling my partner by my surname a number of times. The rooms were amazing, spotless and the views lovely. The tours were very... More

After a few good experiences in South Vietnam, we experienced two main disappointments in the North and see Paradise Cruises as the perfect example of a luxury (rich) tourist trap and would not recommend it to anyone after seeing offers at much lower prices for similar or better services. Starting with the good, the boat we stayed on for one... More

The Halong Bay is very nice, although in Winter the sea waters are not so clear, as a result of the Red River flow. The trip from Hanoi and back takes around 5 hours due to the bad traffic and it is a bit too much. The service (driver, guide, boat, food) was impeccable.

My Husband and I couldn’t really fault this trip, but we did pay for what we got.... We booked for the the two night three days trip which i think was definitely worth it, so you can see more of the bay etc. The boat and accommodation were both excellent and the food was fantastic too. We were upgraded to... More

Very beautiful and peaceful place that you will forget the city life. And able to get to see all the limestone sites. Will be going back again.

Halong Bay has been recently booming with new companies vying for the sailing industry in Halong Bay. However, it is the owner of the Paradise Cruises that OWNS the island where all the others must dock. The turnaround is an example of amazing efficiency. MAKE SURE YOU DO THE 3 day/2 night experience to really get everthing!!! You start when... More

Having 3 days only I can't envision any other way of enjoying the Halong Bay that is as fulfilling as the Paradise Luxury 2 nights cruise.  WHAT MADE IT GREAT: - the 208 suite with private balcony SOOO WORTH THE $! It's the upfront starboard suite: you have nobody but the mast and the ocean in front of you. Stunning... More

It was amazing when we heard the announcement that Halong had become the next world’s natural wonder. We are impressed with the photos of this place and doubted that whether if it’s real. We booked on the day tour with this company and it is a pleasure to know such a good tour company with a team working together as... More
