All-Inclusive 2 Day/1 Night Halong Luxury Cruise, Meals, Cave, Kayaking,Swimming

Loved doing the overnight stay, it’s definitely worth it! Beautiful to wake up in ha long bay and see the sunrise. The boat was awesome and meals were great. Staff very nice too! We didn’t end up doing tai chi, which was a shame. But they did have squid fishing available and a cooking demonstration as the sun was setting. Would recommend doing the kayaking over the small boat. We chose the boat but regretted it, kayaking looked more fun! The walk up to the lookout on titop island is well worth it! The beach was so busy though, we didn’t bother swimming. I would totally do this again! Amazing experience.

A Ha Long Bay cruise is a must do activity when visiting Northern Thailand. This accommodation was perfect as they had a detailed itinerary with lots of activities to make the stay memorable. Traditional Vietnamese activities were included along with traditional meals. The cabins on the ship were also spacious and nice!

The tour was very well organised & Tom the guide was first class & make sure we saw everything, very knowledgeable. All the staff were great throughout the trip, Doris & Layla also deserve a mention who all after us throughout in the dinning room. It’s a very early start the next morning to make sure you can fit everything in, this is the only part I wish could have started at 8am & on 6.30am. Breakfast at 6.45am was early when your on holiday.

The average pickup time was arranged beforehand, and I received a message from the tour guide, Sunny, five minutes before the bus arrived. He was very punctual. I waited outside my Airbnb, and Sunny came to collect me, walking about 50 meters to the bus. Upon arrival, I was given a bottle of water, and the journey began. Sunny entertained the bus full of people by sharing stories, history, fun facts, and keeping a great sense of humor throughout. The journey was smooth, with no issues or delays. We boarded the cruise, where we were directed to our seats, and food was served. The meal was very tasty and definitely sufficient for each table. At our first destination, we had the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular views after climbing 500 stairs, and we had time to swim, which was refreshing after the climb in the hot weather. The second destination was equally great, with a choice between a bamboo boat (for 12 people) or kayaking (in pairs). I chose kayaking, as it’s more fun and offers more freedom. At the third and final destination, we stayed with Sunny for a guided tour of the caves. He shared many interesting facts about the area and managed the large group very well. Overall, the cruise was pleasant and definitely worth the money. There was a top deck for us to use, two toilets, and a bar. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore Ha Long Bay but is limited on time, as I was. At the end of the trip, everyone from my group was heading back to Hanoi, while I had a bus booked for 6 pm to Ninh Binh. However, our trip was finishing just after 6 pm, which meant I was late for the last bus! Thankfully, Sunny went above and beyond to help. He called my Airbnb host in Ninh Binh to ask for the bus driver's number, then called the bus office to see if they could wait for me. He even spoke to the captain to speed up the cruise, so we could make it. We arrived at the harbor at 6:08 pm, and Sunny and I were the first off the boat, running to collect my luggage and then to the bus. The bus could only wait until 6:15 pm, and we made it at 6:14! Without Sunny’s help, I would have missed the bus and had to find emergency accommodation in Ha Long Bay or Hanoi. Sunny was a lifesaver, and I’m incredibly thankful for his help, as well as his efforts to keep everyone entertained throughout the trip. His English was excellent—well-spoken and easy to understand. If you ever meet him, I hope you'll feel the same bright energy that I did.

We loved Aquamarine cruise. Huge windows for great views. Rooms very clean, huge and comfortable. Staff all helpful and attentive.
