Worth it

We had a great day, excellent very helpful staff. Did kayaking during one stop and took a small boat into a cave and a lagoon in another stop.

We loved ha long, boat...

We loved ha long, boat was great and the food. Only thing on the drive the stopps were too long, e.g. We stopped at a pearl museum that wasnt part of the tour nor did we were informed about the stop in advance. For us we wasted Time there and felt like the stop was to make us buy something. Other than that, Great experience!

You won't regret this trip!

I had a fantastic time on this trip! Everything was well organized even when it came to the pickup and drop off. The staff was fun and friendly and planned activities. The multi course lunch was a treat and the boat has many viewing areas and hang outs. I give this a 10/10.

Viktor did a great job...

Viktor did a great job taking care of us. Everything went smoothly the whole day. from bus trip from/to Hanoi to the fabulous experience on the Catamaran. The staff on the Catamaran were very attentive and helpful. Weather was incredible - sunny and warmer than expected. Halong Bay is an incredible place to see. So majestic. One.thing to note - jacuzzi is not heated.

Great day !

Great day with a fantastic catamaran cruise. The boat was spacious and had plenty of seating options and the food was fantastic. It was a long day and includes about a three hour drive from the centre of Hanoi but well worth it in my opinion and would recommend.

Recommend!

Wonderful cruise experience, would recommend this tour to get a taste of Halong Bay if you don’t have much time in the area. We loved the kayaking and swimming activities- the views were absolutely stunning. The catamaran itself was luxurious, clean and had plenty of different lounge/seating options. The lunch buffet was also delicious, high quality food. Thank you for a great day and especially for the warm hospitality from ‘Koala’

Ha long Bay Catamaran trip

Lovely Catamaran with great food and lots of it. Bamboo boat ride through the caves was lovely but very hot ! We took the package with a private transfer each way and Would definitely recommend this. 12 hour day but well worth it!
