Really cool cruise, Kien the guide was great
We had a great experience on the cruise. Our tour guide Kien “Sticky rice” was excellent. The cruise matched our expectations.
Tropical cruise is our really good choice and we were lucky enough to get Kien as our guide. Peaceful views of Lan Ha Bay. Halong Bay. We'll done Kien!
This tour was one for the books. Our tour guide Kien Sticky Rice is knowledgeable and experienced. We opted for this tour and we were pleasantly surprised with the buffet spread, efficiency, and well-curated tour spots. Even the sunset party was a nice touch.
Sticky Rice our tour guide was great. The approach of this cruise was more my speed. Less crowded and chill. Will recommend
One of the most amazing tours taken in Hanoi, so glad we choose Lanha bay instead of Halong and the guide made sure we did not miss on anything. Minh made sure all the passengers were taken care of not leaving anyone behind neither rushed us for anything it was a day well spent thanks to him.
The Lan Ha Bay tour was fantastic, and our guide Minh was great.
had a wonderful experience with Tropical Cruise! Our tour guide, Ms. Jacy, was amazingly professional, helpful, and friendly. The cruise staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive throughout the trip. The itinerary was perfect for anyone who loves water activities, nature, and peaceful, less crowded spots. On top of that, the buffet lunch was absolute perfection—the food was delicious with a great variety! Highly recommended
Great trip, only had about 20 passengers so amazing!
Really nice trip, Jobs was a really good guide and it was a nice experience. Don’t book this tour in Hostels tho. We booked it at „The One Hostel“ and they took a lot of money out of our pockets
I had a great time, especially guide Jobs is really nice!
We had such an amazing time with the tropical cruise today! Our plans got changed because of the weather but it ended up being an incredible tour. Lan Ha bay is gorgeous and our guide, Binh/Bobby/Baby Boss, was so fun and provided lots of information on the tour, making everything clear and easy. Cat Ba island was insanely beautiful and the cave was so interesting and educational. Kayaking was the highlight of the tour and the boat party gave us a perfect ending. Thank you to the team! 10000% recommend this tour
We had a lovely day.. the cruise was lovely- peaceful, not too busy. The guides were really lovely and helpful.

Really good experience, shoukd do atleast once.
Today was a beautiful day, swimming kayaking, touring and dancing with Family. I highly advise this to add to your trip.
Tea was an amazing guide. He kept the group engaged from start to finish. His sense of humor is key. He knew when to also let the group rest in the long bus rides. The cruise itself was amazing with fun water activities and a really scenic view. If you only have a day to do this type of an excursion. I definitely recommend this tour.
Tea was our guide today. He was full of energy and showed us around cat ba very well, explaining the local history and also letting us have good fun on the boat! The buffet was tasty as well. I recommend.
