Loved this tour! I booked fairly last minute as a solo traveller and they were very accommodating. Transfers were efficient (limo bus, great AC). The boat itself looks exactly like the pictures and was clean, comfortable and had really good AC and nice, varied meals with lots of choice. For happy hour - I recommend the passion fruit mojito! Was really surprised that we barely encountered any other tour/cruise boats over the 2 days so the views we got were really incredible. The activities were also great and helped you to experience the Bay itself (2hrs for kayaking and swimming) and a bike tour through Cat Ba island. And lots of time on the boat to enjoy the scenery. Would strongly recommend this tour.

2D1N in Lan Ha Bay, with the family
It was our first visit to Vietnam. All the activities were perfectly organized, we all had a lot of fun, including our 10 and 14-year-old children. They were super active days. Just what we were looking for. The food in Vietnam is delicious and we were able to verify that here as well. My husband is vegetarian and he had a ton of very nutritious options. The room was super comfortable and was very clean.

Incredible trip with surreal views
This tour was such a memorable, bucket list experience! After getting a very comfortable, large bus to the harbour we were welcomed onto the boat by our guide, Tom. Tom was so friendly and was there to help with every activity. The kayaking and bike ride were definitely highlights of the trip! We loved how this tour went to less tourist areas as at some points there was no other boats in sight, making the view even more unbelievable. The chef was even able to accommodate gluten free meals for me (I’m not celiac so can’t comment on cross contamination) which was so kind. Highly recommend!

Recommend for day time exploration
First off, the crew are lovely and work hard.
Food is varied and plentiful.
The bedrooms (203 and 204) are comfortable and attractive but the bathrooms need a little love, and there is a toilet/sewage smell in the room.
Night time activities on our 2 evenings didn’t come to anything as no one wanted to do karaoke and squid fishing petered out early with no joy.
Day time activities are excellent, especially if you do 3 days/2 nights. The fish farm, the kayaking through caves and the cycling. Seeing the endangered monkeys was incredible.
Went enjoyed our time on the boat.

LAN Ha Bay
Overall the cruise was great but the letdown was the condition of the boat we were put on. There are 2 “boutique”( this is how Venezia describe them) boats in their fleet and we were allocated the worst. Very old and rusty tug is better description. Our room was not the twin double we paid for and the ensuite although usable needs a lot of work. Meals were good, crew was fantastic, cruising LAN Ha bay was awesome but that boat needs the scrapyard.

Disappointing cruise
We had booked this cruise for a group of 9 people, with 4 cabins allocated.
The first three cabins lived up to our expectations: a window with a beautiful view of the bay at bed height, a comfortable bathroom with modern amenities and a separate shower from the toilet.
Unfortunately, our enthusiasm was short-lived when we discovered cabin 104.
This cabin was significantly smaller than the others. The tiny window allowed you to see the bay only by standing — you had to be able to stand in front of it because the space was so small. As a bedside table, an air conditioner but only on one side obviously.
The bathroom was also very small, with a shower located directly on the toilet level.
The pinnacle was reached at night, with a strong smell of kerosene that prevented us from sleeping, accompanied by the incessant noise of generators.
The proposed activities were equally disappointing:
The culinary workshop consisted simply of laying a tray of vegetables and rice leaves in front of us, without any accompaniment.
Karaoke was done on a mobile phone screen, with a deplorable internet connection that regularly cut songsSquid fishing always without any explanation.
The bike ride the next day brings it all up a little bit but don't try to have any explanations of anything!
The kayak trip took place amid floating waste surrounded by hydrocarbons.
This experience was by far the most disappointing of our entire stay in Vietnam. We do not recommend this cruise.

A Fantastic Experience!
This was such a lovely experience, well, at least after the fairly lengthy bus ride from Hanoi, although this itself was quite comfortable. The accommodation on the boat was spacious and very comfortable and the food throughout the trip was plentiful and of good quality, with the ships' staff being friendly and helpful. The kayaking trip was great fun, as was the cycling adventure, as well as the cooking demo, and the scenery was out of this world. We luckily had very good weather which made it even more enjoyable. I consider this experience as great value for money.
