We spent only one day and one night aboard
the magnificent Ginger junk, my two children (7 and 15 years old) and me. We had
this chance ... but we would have liked to spend more time there. This remains
my daughter's best travel memory and one of the best for me too. It was fine,
the route taken by the boat being one of the least congested of the Bay along we
have crossed only 2 or 3 other boats and the constantly renewed landscapes have
enchanted us in the peace and quiet. serenity. We visited a cave, went canoeing,
we went swimming, we visited a floating village, a fish farm and we discovered
pearl oyster farming. The rooms were great, we had our showers watching the sea,
the food excellent and all taken on the deck. The crew on board was very
attentive and sang us a moving song at the end of the cruise. We will keep all
these moments spent with them an unforgettable memory to come out during the sad
winter days. Thank you to all of you !!!

Stay three days two nights aboard the private junk White Dolphin. Beautiful
landscape under the sun. This service allows to discover the bay in all
tranquility because we are always alone. ideal for calm; No more noise problem
at night in the room, this problem has probably been solved; Small cabin
beautifully decorated. Bathroom correct: a pity that we could not close the door
where freshness of the air conditioning. Nice breakfasts: quantity and quality.
More average dinners: change of what was written on the menu. We deplored the
fact that in a country where fruit abounds, at breakfast we are given the
choice: fruit or fruit juice but not both. We had to negotiate! All these little
details that did not spoil our stay were told to the guide and to our surprise
the commercial director of the agency was waiting for us on our return to take
us to his comfortable office. He kindly listened to us, took notes and offered
drinks for our return to Hanoi. A few days ago, when we got home, we received an
email from him highlighting all the points and solutions: proof of great
professionalism.

You must have seen Halong Bay and sailed around these curious rocks drowned
in mist. The silence is impressive and the strange beauty of the place is
moving. The junk (Bhaya of memory) that led us in this huge labyrinth was also
part of the approval. Copper, mahogany, cleanliness, impeccable service,
excellent table. Everything would be idyllic if there had been some flats.
Firstly, access on board requires fingering, grip and balance, the safety of
these operations being minimal. Then the temperature of January in Vietnam
requires efficient heating and the generator released us (fortunately a rescue
group came later to the rescue). And then the cottage of the ship made the
Italian shower useless because of overflow. Well, a junk for 4 people in such a
place leaves only great memories. To recommend ... warmly.

2 days private cruise on Cruise Lan Ha Bay; welcome aboard warm by the 4 crew
members, the cook, 24 years, is promised a bright future as his meals were
excellent, fine and refined not to mention the decor ... Air-conditioned cabin,
comfortable bedding, perfect bathroom , all of an exemplary cleanliness. Landing
on a white sand beach for a swim in the bay ... exceptional! Squid fishing at
night with a projector ... fun ... when it bites ... By chance, the sun and the
heat was at the rendezvous, which makes the place even more majestic,
unforgettable, fairy ... This company was recommended by our travel agency in
Vietnam: Cruise Lan Ha Bay, so thank you for this excellent choice of company
because it is not easy to make a choice on the mass of offers.

Beautiful cruise in the bay of Halong aboard a junk with all the comforts of
a hotel room, certainly the cabin was not very big but it had a bathroom with
modern shower and especially a fantastic view through the window. The staff are
numerous, helpful and very friendly. The meals on board are hearty, varied and
delicious. Visits are organized at a pace a little too fast, we would have liked
more free time for the contemplation of this magical site. The advantage of this
company is that it offers a circuit a little away from the busiest areas, we
were three boats on area during our visit is about 60 people in a space of
several square kilometers, rather reasonable when we think of thousands of
visitors annually! If possible, favor the circuit over three days for more
peace.

With family and friends of 6, we spent a day and a half on a private junk
(Amira cruiser), with 4 cabins. These, with modern shower rooms, are comfortable
and in all respects in line with the photos presented on the site of Cruise Lan Ha Bay. The service is impeccable, with stylish and smiling staff, it's very
nice! The cuisine is excellent and presented and served with research on a
remarkably set table on the deck, facing the sumptuous scenery of Halong Bay. It
will remain a remarkable memory. During this short stay, we were able to visit a
very pretty cave, a floating village with its school, all this with a swim in
the bay ... We were lucky to have a great time, without much of fog, and to sail
practically alone while savoring the calm and the beauty of the sites, with a
superb sunrise as a bonus. Finally, we regretted not to stay longer on this
junk, this interlude in a circuit of a month in Vietnam is a real happiness:
unforgettable and to recommend.
