We had a great experience on the sea Lavie cruise. The boat is new, the service on board was great and our guide Loki was very good and made sure we had everything we needed. From checkin at the marina to dis embarking, everything was very smooth and well planned. Highly reccomend.
We love the experience! Very fun, quiet and safe. The food was great, the views are amazing and the cruise is quite comfortable. Employee Tracy was very requested and helped us with everything all the time. I highly recommend!
We took the Haylong bay day cruise. It was our first time taking the cruise. Haylong bay is gorgeous, the cruise was on time, clean and we had a lunch buffet. The activities planned were short and fun Tracy on the cruise was helpful and good at communicating. Overall a good first time experience.
Amazing experience! I had an incredible day trip to Halong Bay with Sea Lavie Cruise. The staff were friendly and attentive, the cruise was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!
We had a great family experience with lots of great activities such as caves, hill climbing and bamboo boating. Our guide Loki was also attentive and enjoyed the tour! We left the port around 11:30 in the afternoon and came back around 17:30.
The Sea Lavie Cruise was absolutely incredible and we enjoyed every moment. From the buffet to cave walks, kayaking and beaching, it was all excellent. We especially enjoyed our guiding from David who took great care of us throughout. Overall it was great value spending 90$ for 2 of us. Timings wise, the tour went from 8am pickup from our hotel to 18:30pm back at the harbour. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great day out seeing Ha Long Bay!
