We really liked the one day cruise around Lan Ha and Ha Long Bay. We were in a group of 16 people (tour has capacity for 38) which was a good number. We had Ben as our guide who spoke great English and was very energetic. The boat was comfortable and the views were amazing and we felt the itinerary was well done. We often were at sites well before other boats and so we got to the enjoy them on our own. Very generous seafood lunch if a little bland.

We did the 2D1N boat tour. Well organized, the staff in the office is very attentive and follow up on bus services for before and after your tour. Also the staff on the boat is friendly and well prepared. They navigate to places that have almost no other tourist boats. The value for the price is very good. There were mostly couples on our boat, no solo travelers. It is no luxury boat, there is no entertainment after 7 pm (music or lights) and you eat at a long table together with the other passengers, but good for travellers who want to explore the halong bay surrounding avoiding the bigger tourist boats.

Enjoyed our time on the 2D / 1N activity with Tony as our tour guide. He was able to give us a lot of background and historical information on the sites, which we appreciated. The area was beautiful, even on an overcast day, and all the food provided was delicious. We had smooth transitions during our travel from Hanoi (bus to ferry boat to big bus to small bus to boat) and always knew what was going on and where to go. We appreciated that there were only 15 total in our group, and that the majority of our trip we didn’t see hardly anyone (in comparison to one boat we saw that had 60+ hop out to look at a beach). This isn’t a luxury cruise by any means, but definitely recommended for the adventurous explorer.
