Things to do in Ha Long Bay

I had a wonderful time on halong bay day cruise..In the morning the mini bus picked up as at our hotel and dropped to the harbour where we boarded the Halong Diamond Cruise. Our guide Mr. Andy gave us the itinerary of the entire tour. Than we had vegetarian lunch served as per our request . The cruise was good & itinerary was well organised offering a stunning view of the bay, the limestone karst caves, and clear water on the beach. I enjoyed the tour with diamond cruises

Picturesque trip on a comfortably equipped ship through Halong Bay and the adjacent Bai tu long. Several stops at a pearl farm and a stalactite cave. Good and plentiful meals. The tour guide Vinnie was well informed and always helpful and approachable.

This day cruise is so good. When we go to the cave, our guide, introduced the history of the Ha Long Bay, UNESCO's choice for the place, and Vietamese local beliefs, etc. We took the bamboo boat with the safety jacket at Luon island, and went hiking at the Ti-Top island. So nice to look around the beautiful sceneries and luxurious cruise.

It was an awesome experience and very well managed by the host. They were also punctual & owned responsibility of their passenger

What an amazing experience seeing Halong Bay! Chris and the Iris team did a great job from beginning to end. Kayaking was so much fun! Highly entertaining and would definitely recommend this cruise to everyone!

There was only aguide with the bus on the onward. He was very nice. He gave explanations on the stops, when and what will happen. However, no more guide on the return. Driver didn't speak English nor understand so it was hard to communicate. The cruise was nice. We were lucky to have a great weather. A lot of activivites in a day tour. Buffet was good and so was the snack. Great value for the money.

This was the highlight of our Hanoi trip. So, chill yet enjoyable. The selection of food for the lunch buffet was GREAT! I just wished the coffee served in the afternoon was better! We enjoyed the SPEED BOAT ride (at our own expense). IT WAS ONE HELL OF A RIDE AND WE WERE THANKFUL WE PUSHED THRU WITH THIS!!! Our guide was also knowledgeable especially when he was explaining about the formations inside one of the caves we visited.

We had an amazing experience from start to finish! The tour guide on the bus was incredibly kind and welcoming, making the trip even more enjoyable. Once on the cruise, the staff continued to impress us with their helpfulness and warm hospitality. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal was a treat! The views were breathtaking, adding a magical touch to the whole experience. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, providing a comfortable space to relax. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Alex, who went above and beyond by helping us with our baggage and even assisting us in finding transportation to the nearest airport. Their kindness and dedication truly made our trip unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable adventure!
