The cruise was much more fun thanks to the crew. The guide was very attentive and informative and tried his best to make our trip beyond our expectations. We booked a 2 night trip and the activities were diversified. We loved the kayaking trip on the 2nd day and swimming in the middle of the bay was perfect. If you also seek an ancient-vibe cruise with an activity-filled itinerary and a reasonable price, this is the one.
The boat looks old and there needs to be some maintenance. However, the cabins were well maintained and fully equipped. Our Deluxe cabins were clean and cozy. Watching the bay from the top deck was excellent. Excursions were interesting yet more night activities if possible.
Superb cruise! My sister and I booked 2 nights and were happy we booked it instead of 1 night. We accessed some other areas which are said to be more isolated and it really does. Kayaking and swimming were the best. The island and the cave were very nice yet way too crowded. Food was plentiful and varied in every meal. Highly recommended!
Love the food and the service by the Indochina Sails team. The cave was magnificent and the panoramic view was superb. A must-do in Vietnam!
The boat was aged yet acceptable. We appreciate experiences with Indochina Sails. There were a variety of things to experience such as hiking, swimming, caving, cooking class, fishing, and doing Taichi exercise. The cabin was neat and comfortable. Food for the buffet lunch and brunch was amazing. Cocktails were pretty good yet overall beverages were a bit overpriced.
Halong Bay was really stunning. We took a lot of photos and the staff was kind enough to take some for us. The tour guide was knowledgeable and willing to share all useful information. Others were friendly and nice. We were well fed and the food was yummy. We booked a Superior cabin which was cozy and clean. However, the air-con did not work well.
We love the classic style of Indochina Sails. There were not many people on our trip and that was perfect. We enjoyed the buffet with plenty of options and the staff was very caring. The activities were nice with a cave and an island. The view of Halong Bay was just breathtaking.
Such a memorable Halong Bay trip. We booked a 1 night program and everything was well organized. We arranged the transportation by ourselves and the staff welcomed and supported us with check in timely. Our cabin was compact with enough basic amenities and a nice view from the window. Food was nice. Kayaking was excellent yet should be included in the price. Anyway, we really love the trip. Thank you very much!
