It was a wonderful cruise experience! It was taken care of everything in the best possible way. The communication was also really good, Kevin helped us a lot. I would recommend to take the tour in the offseason. Perfect day.

Fantastic luxurious way to see beautiful Ha Long Bay in one day! We went early October. Pick up was on time and we were in a comfortable smaller coach bus. Group on the boat wasn’t large that day which was nice. Weather was sunny and hot so we loved the AC in the boat dining area and the swimming pool. The boat looked like the photo! Gorgeous yacht. So glad we booked it because we loved the amenities. Nice showers with body wash, shampoo and conditioner, and restrooms. As for activities, the lunch, local rowboat, summer roll cooking class, kayaking were all great. You can choose your own adventure and do as little or as much of the activities as you want. We opted into the $20 speedboat excursion which was incredible because it took us to a little beach for swimming. Staff and service were amazing. The only thing I would do differently is to bring a giant water bottle because I forgot drinks on board are extra, so I was purchasing so many small water bottles for more dong (but still only $1 each). Honestly had the best time as a couple on board! Chill and relaxing. I’d recommend to friends who want to visit!
We had a fantastic experience on the Taliya Day Cruise exploring Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay! Everything from start to finish was top-notch. A special shoutout to Miss May, who was exceptionally helpful, attentive, and went out of her way to make sure we had a smooth trip. As a vegan, I was also very impressed with the food options—the vegan meals were delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We left the cruise completely satisfied and would highly recommend this experience to anyone!
Amazing day on the Taliya cruise. All activities went smoothly, the staff were very helpful, kind, and know how to take care of the guests. Tha boat is modern with all facilities as we need to pass a good day. Also the swimming pool relaxing. We were not more than 25 guests on the tour. The guide was very good. Thank you to May our butler for the day who with professionalism took care of us. Highly recommend without hesitation.
Fantastic way to explore Ha Long Bay in one day. Boat is gorgeous, small group makes it quiet and relaxed. Lots of fun activities. You go quite far into the bay and explore sections where there is no one else. Daria our server was fantastic.
Fantastic service, great and diverse lunch offerings (including the Ha Long squid cakes, which were my favorite). The route they take is gorgeous and not crowded. The boat itself has lots of great places to sit and enjoy the view and has showers for after swimming. They also have an optional motorboat tour where they take you around (I think it costs an addition 20 USD, but is well worth it). The kayaking/swimming time is nice and it felt like there was enough time to enjoy without being rushed. Aside from lunch and tea-time, drinks on board are not free, but they are all well prepared. Overall, highly recommended.
Amazing day trip at Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay. New and swanky yacht, activities included kayaking, cave trip, swimming and cooking class. Alan our guide was great. We are vegetarians and Daria took care of us very well. Food was awesome.
Great day overall, thanks Finn for your service today!
Amazing views and fun activities! May, was very helpful and kind. I recommend 100%!
This trip was amazing! Thomas did an excellent job taking care of us during our day trip to Lan Ha Bay, it was unforgettable!
Great experience, very kind butlers
The cruise was very comfortable. The boat was excellent standard. Good food provided at lunchtime. A couple of nice excursions. Thomas was very attentive and helpful as our steward.
Daria was the best waitress :)
During our Vietnam tour in November, we had a wonderful time on the Talya Cruise. It was very successful with its high-quality service, delicious open buffet, and friendly staff. I would especially like to thank dear Ms. May for her kind attention and interest. It was a fantastic experience for our group.
The boat itself is wonderful, food is great and Halong Bay is breathtaking! Daria the waitress was very kind and attentive! BUT! Be prepared that you won’t be allowed to swim in the water unless you’re wearing a massive life jacket which is bigger than yourself. I wore it during all the water activities (kayaking, caves) but wanted to just swim peacefully near the boat but was physically stopped by one of the crew, he grabbed my hand and pulled me out. Obviously the experience was completely ruined! I wish someone would notify people in advance about the jacket situation, I wouldn’t book that cruise knowing that I can’t swim! No apology or complimentary drink were offered! I also wanted to mention that during our bus stop bus driver drove away to another location with our 3 children on board without any notification. Apparently they had to park somewhere else during toilet break, which we were not aware of. My husband and I walk out of the toilet and there were no bus or kids.
Excellent 5 star luxury trip! Great service from May. The best way to see the bay and have a great day out. I recommend you book this!
The Taliya Day Cruise we took in January 2026 was an amazing experience. It was very well organized, the boat was amazing with very comfortable seating, options of mini golf, jacuzzi, cinema, etc. and great viewing decks. The staff was very friendly. David, the manager was very helpful and explained things very well Daria served us drinks and food and was very good with her sense of hospitality and guest comfort. And of course, the food was amazing with a wonderful spread and great taste. Halong Bay itself was one of the must visit natural sanctuaries in the world. They organized kayaking in the lagoon, row boat tour to the caves, and a cooking class, all of which was great fun. Worth spending 6 hours with them.
Friendly staff (our host Liam was very helpful), very good food, overall good value for money. Must note that WiFi was not available so good to prepare for that possibility
Can’t fault the experience onboard. It was excellent, but they need to review their transportation to and from Hanoi. I am sitting on the bus and the driver has been texting and watching something on his phone the entire journey. His eyes are only partially on the road. I can recommend the cruise but find your own transportation from Hanoi. There is an accident waiting to happen here. Make sure you’re not it.
Daria helped us with the food and served us. She was very kind. Overall the experience was very very pleasant. I will recommend highly
We have a nice day on the trip boat taliya cruise with my friend , the food very good ( indian food ) starf May kind so friendlly

We had a fantastic day! The boat is gorgeous & Ha long Bay is too. Daria was our server and made sure we always had a beer in hand during the sunset party
Beautiful scenery and staff very attentive during the voyage, however we were informed no kayaking was allowed even when there were other large parties out on the water kayaking during our trip… once the boat docked everyone was chased off by the manager, not allowing anyone time to finish our drinks we had already purchased…
