Excursión de un día a la bahía de Ha Long desde Hanói con kayak, natación y almuerzo

We contacted Hanoi Explore Travel about 6 months before we travelled. Mr Lee was our travel consultant and he was professional, helpful and easy to deal with from the outset. He arranged a 3 day Ha Long Bay cruise with Peony Cruises including transport to and from Hanoi. Everything went exceptionally smoothly and it was a thoroughly relaxing short break. If I return to Vietnam I will definitely check with Mr Lee to see if he can help with my travel arrangements.

I had a fantastic trip with many experiences such as rowing a bamboo boat and visiting Titop Island. Ha Long Bay is beautiful but also quite crowded. The cruise service was excellent for the price, and the buffet lunch offered a wide variety of dishes, including options for vegetarians. The tour guide was very friendly and enthusiastic. I highly appreciate the excellent organization; it's definitely worth joining.

Did this cruise with Viet, and he was awesome! Beautiful experience, he was knowledgeable about the history, and he was so kind. Would recommend to anyone!

We booked this through Trip Advisor so we didn't know which service provider we were actually cruising with - it was Sunlight Cruise in case you wanted to book directly with them. The tour guides were friendly and professional but Halong Bay is just so overcrowded with tourists and other cruise ships. You were herded like cattle to a different activity every couple hours and then waiting in line for every single activity. It was really difficult to enjoy the scenery. The included buffet lunch was very mediocre and very disorganised. All the other cruises were similarly overcrowded and touristy so it honestly doesn't matter which one you book with. Unfortunately, it's the only way to see Halong Bay as a tourist so please manage your expectations.

Full-Day Halong Bay Cruise with Swimming & Kayak Tour: the weather in Hanoi was a little chilly for the swimming!! We were picked up early on a lovely executive coach with seats on a par with an airlines business class – very comfortable! We did pick up guests from a few locations along the way but were soon on our way. There was a stop enroute to visit a Pearl farm, with the visit to the shop of course. Once we arrived at the marina our guide gathered the group while he went to collect the cruise tickets then we were taken down the pier to our boat. To be noted the boats dock against quite rough steep steps and this could be an issue for anyone with mobility problems. Once onboard Our guide allocated all of us within his group a designated table. Once we set sail and extensive buffet lunch was available – this was a little chaotic with some of the local people onboard, but the food was good and there was a great selection. During the day we got to visit caves, stopped for a ride on either a bamboo boat or Kayak (included) and were given the option to take a speedboat ride for an additional charge (300VND/Approx £8) final stop was a visit to a beach with the opportunity to climb to a view point – some of our group did this but found it to be very busy and crowded at the top which spoiled the experience a little. We then boarded the boat to sail back to the marina whilst watching the sunset over Ha Long Bay, before the journey back to the city (comfort break was included along the way)

Ha Long Bay was recommended by everyone and given our limited time in the city this one day trip was the perfect fit. I was most impressed with the selection by the crew on which islands to explore. Each was a completely unique and different experience and the final island completely blew my mind (no spoilers but just believe thats its quite amazing).

Really great and intense experience. Loved every bit, thought it was rainy. Punctual, Great tour guide (Henry - 7 stars). Highly recommend, especially for those who have limited travel time.

Took the one day Halong Bay tour which included the pickup/drop from the hotel, the Luxury Cruise with Heritage Luxury Boat. Onboard the boat a very good buffet was provided which included Seafood and also options for the vegetarians too.. The places that we went around were Halong Bay (seeing the various rock formations etc), the walk across the Sung Sot caves with it’s majestic limestone formations, Hang Luon Cave (kayaking, bamboo boat, speed boat options), Ti-Top island with it’s beach and swim in the waters. It was a rainy day that made us be in our raincoats when outside, however was an enjoyable trip.
