“Lovely Cruise”
A great trip for 3 days and 2 nights on Syrena Cruise.We booked Suite Cabin that was spacious, they offered great cocktail, fresh fruits in cabin daily. Great food with seafood and Western food. Full second day for kayaking was fab, we returned our cruise in the late afternoon. Shuttle bua for transfer was not included, asked for this. !
Bane,US“Syrena Cruise”
Our trip to Hai Long Bay with Syrena Cruise was 3D2N.
During our stay, the tour guide was helpful, understanding, attentive and nice. She even brought to an hour land tour and this was covered in the package. Itinerary on the cruise was well planned and attention was given to each individual. The Cruise environment was cosy and suitable for all.
We stayed in Hai Long Bay for another day after the cruise, so we give the transport that was intended to ferry us back to Hanoi a miss. However, we encountered some hiccups in the return transport, we turned to Syrena Cruise for aid via call, we are surprised that their representative, Mr. Ngo went the extra mile to help us with the return transport and that transport was operated by an 3rd party operator not Syrena Cruise. The price we paid was reasonable.

Felix T, Singapore“An excellent choice”
My fiancé and I have relied on TripAdvisor to plan the majority of our 3 month round the world travels, so booking the Syrena 1 night/2 day cruise was a bit of a gamble, with only 2 reviews….however it massively paid off. Great pickup service from our hotel door in Hanoi, good driver, bus and aircon, taken straight to the dockside in Halong city (with no hanging around like lots of other tourists we saw). Lovely boat, well decorated with everything you would need, plenty of space with a nice sun deck….although I think the boat was full, it didn’t seem crowded. Our guide spoke brilliant English and we really enjoyed the tour of the Surprising Cave and the beach visit ( beware the jellyfish though!). Our highlight was the kayaking (you do have to pay an additional $15 per boat/2 people) we got to really experience the beauty of Halong bay and get up close to the cliffs…spectacular! Just be aware that if you do the 2 night trip you will have to go back to port to drop off the 1 night guests….we didn’t feel like we had missed out on anything by just doing the one night, although the journey to and from hanoi is quite long (3 1/2 hours). Ps. Bring your own water for the minibus journey, as it was not provided for us.
