But the beaches and the viewpoint were absolutely worth it. Our guides were also super friendly and food was nice as well (simple Thai style picnic).”

5.Halong Bay Luxury Cruise with Kayaking & Lunch Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 16 reviews · from $43

Spend a full day cruising Halong Bay from Hanoi with an English-speaking guide, Vietnamese buffet lunch, Sung Sot Cave, kayaking or a bamboo boat at Luon Cave, swimming and hiking on Titop Island, and a sunset snack stop. Confirm transport timing before booking.

“We spent over an hour in Hanoi old quarter picking people up. The 2.5 hours transfer is not accurate, it’s over 3. We were picked up at 8.30 and at 12 we arrived at a pearl farm- not even on the itinerary- and stayed for 40mins, it was really just a huge gift shop. Finally we got on a boat at 1pm. Lunch was average to say the best. As we were so late we only had 20min to kayak and 30min at the hike and swim stop. The “party” had fruit and biscuits that disappeared within minutes. We got on a bus back to Hanoi at 7pm and arrived…”

6.Full-Day Halong Bay 5-star Cruise with Kayak & Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 9 reviews · from $56

You’ll leave Hanoi’s Old Quarter by fast highway bus, cruise from Tuan Chau Harbor, visit Sung Sot Cave, kayak at Luon Cave, and swim or climb Titop Island. An English-speaking guide leads the day, with lunch, drinks, entry fees, and a sunset snack included.

“The validity of the regular dresser. The rest pretty good. Halong bay is quite a busy place so full of tourists but this is not the fault of arcadia cruises. It is better to do this 1-day excursion than the 2-day/1-night one since at the end you see the same things and the last one is 4 times more expensive. The visit to the exceptional cave and beautiful view at the top of the Ti Top Island viewpoint. Elmgiron by boat on the lagoon, regular.”

The stops were also a lot of fun. The cruise was the best. The deck was amazing and you could just lay there and enjoy the view. Definitely worth your money and something you should do when in Ha Long or Ha Noi!”
