Croisière privée en yacht de luxe de 8 heures vers l'île des Princes

Halong Bay Tours helped organise a wonderful trip along Halong Bay over three days/two nights on the small Prince Junk Private Cruise for four couples. Transportation from Hanoi and back was first rate in a comfortable 10 seater luxury van. We were met by charming hostesses in the comfortable lounge before our tour guide took us through to the junk. Comfortable accommodation, professional service onboard, and excellent cuisine was laid on for us. Enormously relaxing trip with a number of extra activities: kayaking, floating fishing village visit, beach bbq, and cave visit. Recommend the company unreservedly.

We had a perfect experience from beginning to end. We were three couples traveling to Istanbul and had lots of fun on this tour. Yusuf was very reliable and helpful in managing the experience and communicating with us beforehand and throughout the tour day. The pick-up and drop-off were on time, and we had a nice ride to the port. Capitan Muharrem met us there and took us to the boat. He was professional and very helpful with his recommendations. We spent 3 hours on the island exploring the shops, biking, and eating. Next, captain Muhatrrem took us on the boat to an area where we could dive from the boat and swim. It was a very pleasant experience that we will not forget. Everything was as expected and, as advertised, even better. I highly recommend this tour if you want to do something unique and take a break from the crowded streets of Istanbul.

We had a great day on the boat, going for a swim around the Princess Islands, and then having a walk and lunch at one of the restaurants. Very friendly host, flexible and accommodating of the requests. The boat had sufficient space to fit 7 people, both inside and outside.

Great experience, highly recommended.. With my family, we had perfect day. Swimming, fishing and perfect historical building.

We are picked up from hotel by VIP vehicle. Luxury van. Tour was perfect, we swim in clean sea, sunbathing and eat in fish restaurant. Everything is wonderful. Thanks captain

It was a perfect tour. We have fun. and good choıce to swim. Prınce ıslands perfect to see, historical buildings. Nice and clean swimming places.

Wanted to have a memorable journey with the family but ended with an unpleasant one. The Yacht was quite old and crew were smoking on the Yacht

We were picked up from the hotel on time. On the way we had questions about PCR tests and Yusuf was willing to help. Afterwards we arrived to the yacht. On the yacht, a man and a woman were waiting. They spoke no English but we used google translator and all went fine. They were pretty nice and pleasant. The yacht part was great, the family and I loved it. Around 1:30 PM a guy on a speed boat arrived to take us to one of the islands. At first I thought he was a “guide”, but it turned out he was a guy who knew the people in the restaurant he took us to (i even think he worked there). The people in the restaurant said there is no menu (which was not true coz we saw them later give a menu to the local guests), and they asked us to pick the food. The food was very good, but the bill came with 4670 Turkish Liras ! (around 460 euros, we were 6 adults and two kids). Including 400 Liras for “water and bread”. On top of that, when we said we wanted to pay with a card, they asked us to pay in payments of 900 Liras (which shows it is clearly a fraud). That’s when I said I won’t pay until the police came. I called Yusuf in the mean time, he picked up and said he’d help, and I believe he tried to. Anyways, the guys clearly knew the police officers coz they were laughing and as if they were hanging out, but after insisting from our side, they went down to 3500 Liras, which was somewhat acceptable, given that they clearly have special prices to tourists. However that, wasted all my touring time in the island and had to leave straight after paying. The others loved the island. The guy took us back on the speed boat back to the Yacht, the trip was stressful because there was tension after what happened in the restaurant. The trip back on the Yacht was again great and the guys on the Yacht were very cheerful. On the way back in the car, we discovered that we forgot one small bag in the yacht, and the driver was kind enough to drive back so that we get it. All in all, I would totally recommend it, just be careful with the restaurant part, and ask in advance for some clarification in that regard. Also, insist on getting prices before ordering and be careful about the ridiculous amounts they charge for bread water and service.

We wanted to have a lovely day away from the city, and we certainly got it. The trip was well organized, and everything went smoothly. Yusuf, our host, was very helpful and attentive from the moment of booking until the end of the trip. The route around the island is flexible, but we decided to follow Yusuf's advice and were not disappointed. The views of the islands from the boat are beautiful, we stopped in a sheltered bay for some swimming and relaxing on the deck, then moved to Burgazada for a lunch break and walking around. The restaurant we were recommended turned out to be very nice with simple but delicious meze and fish, and with the hospitality Turkey is famous for. After that, back to the boat for some more cruising and opportunities to go swimming, and after 8 hours we returned to the shore where our driver was already waiting. A private yacht is a great way to explore these pretty isles in the Marmara sea, while staying away from the crowds. Admittedly, at this time there were no big crowds and it was somewhat sad to see the empty restaurants and beaches. I really hope operators and restaurants will get through these difficult times. They are doing a great job.
