\Highly recommend 2-nights for everyone. The vessel was in good condition and the cabins were very clean and comfortable. On the first day, we kayaked and swam in a peaceful area. Day 2 was the highlight when we took a bike ride around the village and accessed a small but isolated pristine beach. The final day was relaxing with a sampan boat to Bright Cave. Nothing was too much trouble. Food could be better yet we had a great dining experience with a stunning view of the bay. Overall, an unforgettable experience!
The programs were full of activities and things were timely and well organized. Our room was clean and modernly equipped yet the aircon sometimes did not work well. We booked 1 night and it was a bit short as in fact we just had 23 hours on the cruise. Food was good and with generous portions. A special thanks to the team who were dedicated and went above and beyond for our comfort and enjoyment. We will recommend this trip without hesitation.
Very nice trip. Nice cabin. Kind staff. Delicious food. Kayaking was fun. The scenery was amazing.
Had a 2 days/1 night trip on La Pandora Cruise. The activities were okay. We went swimming, and kayaking, and joined a sampan boat tour to the cave. However, night entertainment was lacking. Food was average and drinks were expensive.
My husband and I had a wonderful 2-night tour with La Pandora Cruise. Our suite was on the upper deck and very well furnished. The bathroom was spacious and the balcony was nice. Food on board was superb. We had a 5-course lunch and buffet dinner with plenty of options. The chef also served vegetarian food and accommodated other food requests. The staff could not do enough for you. They were friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. The guide Sam was the best. This was a trip of a lifetime. Thank you very much!
Food was plentiful yet the quality was normal. The boat was nice and the accommodation was fully equipped. Excursions were great with kayaking, visiting a village, sunbathing on the beach, cooking, etc. However, the shuttle boat from the harbor to the cruise and from/to attractions needs to be upgraded. It was uncomfortable for guests to sit on the hard wooden seats for almost 1 hour and the space was cramped as well.
It was our first time going to Halong Bay and our family had a fabulous experience. We stayed in a family cabin with 1 big bed and 1 small bed. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. We ordered all vegetarian meals and they could not be better. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will recommend this cruise to everyone!
All the crew was nice and very caring. We spent 1 night on the cruise and there were a lot of activities. The boat itself was clean and modern. We stayed in the Suite balcony cabin and it was very comfortable. Food was amazing and we enjoyed all the meals, especially lunch and dinner. Wifi was unstable and drinks were pricey.
Our room was spacious and had a stunning view of the bay. My friend and I watched the sunset from our private balcony and it was fantastic. The team did a good job and our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Food was very good and the restaurant area was luxurious and clean. Lots of activities and we would certainly come back!
