Very disappointing, too short so too expensive and overflying and views of the city for 10 minutes out of the 23 of the flight.
Dear reviewers, We are so sorry about your experience in Halong We had checked and did not find your name on our booking list Please help us check with your supplier to leave a right review Best regards, Luong
The flight was extremely disappointing!! Although 25 minutes is promised you are only 15-16 minutes in the air. You get about 8 minutes of beautiful views over Ha Long Bay. The rest of the time you get a view of the city of Ha Long, at least if you sit on the right. All you see on the left is water. But that's absolutely uninteresting. For 8 minutes Ha Long Bay this is ridiculously expensive. Don't do that!
Thanks so much for your feedback We had checked and we are not sure if we got the booking on your name. If your booking is 25 mins, we will do the flight that long for sure, if you want longer time in the sky, you can book longer flight. We are supplier on Viator. The price goes with commission. I would say the price is better if you book with agent or at the desk. Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong
First class service, we had to rebook because the day we were due to fly the weather was too bad. The team rebooked us for the next day. The whole experience taking off on the water to the unbelievable scenery was great. Big thanks to Mrs Huyen for keeping us informed. If you are ever in Ha Long it’s a must-do experience.

Impressiv view from above! Worth every €! Friendly staff, great waterplane. Easy and uncomlicated access to the plane, like taking a cab. Be honest with your weight, you will be weighed.
