FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

The most impression on me was the natural color of the wood making the boat. It made me warm & close as well as deluxe. 2days/1night on Ha Long bay is our unforgettable memory when we came to VN.

I'd like seafood dishes & the wine on your boat, especially the grilled prawn. I can't forget my feeling when I listened to music no words by the monochord & enjoyed Ha Long seafood dishes at the same time. The staffs are very friendly & the Cruise is so excellent.

Newspapers & Television have not described all the beauty of Ha Long. I'll recommend to my family and friends about it. Besides, the staff of the boat are very friendly & all of them are good at English.

it's worth to be world heritage. Ha Long is so beautiful and your Pelican Cruise  is the most special. I've made a good impression on style decoration of the boat. Thanks a lot.
