Estimated arrival time at the Old Quarter is around 20:30 – just in time to enjoy dinner or a relaxing evening stroll.
Achieved this experience that I have waited. The car drive was long over 3 hours with a rest stop shopping and coffee. Got onto cruise and felt warmly welcomed with drinks. Lunch included but fruits and dessert donuts were just insufficient for all Don guided with care and good presentations.
Part of our 5-day vacation to Hanoi, we participated in the day cruise for less than 60 dollars each 4 of little kid family. I felt that the activities are not for our small kids, considering how hard it was for cave trekking and walking. Snacks on the cruise was limited and costly drinks i think. But all things considered, we just came for relaxation, photography and took it very easy.
Great experience with donn great cruisee great hospitality great vibess everything was good and have a good time there
Super fun experience seeing the beautiful ha long bay, amazing cave and islands. Everything went really smooth, the guide was funny and super friendly. (Payed extra for drinks) We choose the speedboat option - it was super fun! Bring you bathingsuit for the jacuzzi.
This is a must do while in Hanoi. Good bang for buck. Don was a great guide, very helpful. Comfortable ride, enough to do in the tour. Quite long but enjoyable. Amazing views and even more amazing sunset. We were very lucky to have such great weather. The only reason I lowered one star was the food and drinks, the food wasn't that appealing to us. And I would suggest improving the quality of the cocktails, and serve colder beers. Also a canopy in the roof deck would be great for those that want to enjoy the view, without cooking under the sun.
Thanks to our friendly guide Doan, this Ha Long Bay trip became truly unforgettable. He provided detailed and kind explanations about every site, helping us understand the history, culture, and beauty of the bay in depth. Beyond guiding, he offered professional photo-shooting services so that we could take home not only memories but also beautiful pictures. His humor and witty remarks made the atmosphere light and fun, engaging all of us and keeping our interest throughout the day. At the same time, his professionalism and respect for the guests showed that he was a guide who genuinely cares about making the experience valuable and enjoyable. Thanks to Doan, we felt safe, comfortable, and entertained from beginning to end. I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ha Long Bay, as his passion and dedication truly enhance the journey. 친절한 가이드 Doan 덕분에 하롱베이 여행은 정말 잊지 못할 시간이 되었습니다. 그는 각 관광지에 대해 세심하고 친절하게 설명해 주어 하롱베이의 역사와 문화, 그리고 아름다움을 깊이 이해할 수 있었습니다. 단순히 안내에 그치지 않고 사진 촬영 서비스까지 제공해 주어 추억뿐 아니라 멋진 사진도 남길 수 있었습니다. 또한 특유의 유머와 재치 있는 설명으로 분위기를 밝고 즐겁게 만들어 주었고, 모든 관광객들이 끝까지 흥미를 잃지 않도록 이끌어 주었습니다. 동시에 손님을 존중하는 태도와 세심한 배려에서 진정한 프로 의식이 느껴졌습니다. Doan 덕분에 우리는 여행 내내 안전하고 편안했으며, 즐거운 추억을 가득 만들 수 있었습니다. 하롱베이를 방문하는 분들께 꼭 추천드리고 싶은 최고의 가이드입니다.
I would like to express my special thanks to Mr. Don for what he has done on this truly wonderful trip, as he made everything easier for us and guided us through every step of the journey.
Top notch formations We loved the fastboat service. The beach wehreas too small and touristic. Should ve visited last. You guys should be fit to do this program. Luch included but so so not special. 10 points for the staff though. High price for drinks
Viras group leader quick pointouts Plus: on time pickup experienced driver and guide mr Doon. Cruise very new and wellmaintained Minus: lunch seats poorly arranged. Needs better setup and more space Anyw, halong today had a nice blue sky. Great weather
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on the Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with V’Spirit, and a big part of that was thanks to our tour guide, Don! From the moment we boarded, Don made us feel incredibly welcome. He was jovial, sweet, and so friendly—it genuinely felt like we were on a trip with a longtime friend rather than a guide. His energy was contagious, and he made every moment of the cruise more enjoyable. Don kept the atmosphere light and fun while also being informative and professional. He shared stories, helped with every little detail, and was always around with a big smile. Whether it was kayaking, exploring the bay, or enjoying meals on the deck, Don added that personal touch that made everything special. Highly recommend this cruise experience with V’Spirit—and if you're lucky enough to get Don as your guide, you're in for a treat!
Don was very friendly tourist guide He understands the needs of the tourist and helps them accordingly...It was a nice overall experience for us in Ha Lan Bay today
Amazing experience for our family. Guide Donald went extra by keeping us posted on pick up timing. As the streets in Hanoi are busy, he even escort us to the pick up point. Entire trip was lively, a lot of sharing on Hanoi to Halong Bay. He even handled both local and international tourists same time in cruise.
Our guide Donald keep in touch with us a day prior to excursion. In the morning he also keep us posted on pick up location. As the streets are without stopping area, he personally escort us to limousine parking area. Entire journey he shared a lot of insights on Hanoi, Halong Bay. Conversation were lively. He was also handling both groups of local and international tourists. Great service! Thank you Donald.
We have great trip in Ha Long Bay. It is wonderful place. We have tried kayaking and hiking, we have great memories in there. Our tutor is quite nice and kind
從kolook 訂的陽光豪華郵輪 導遊很友善 我都問他一些其他問題 導遊經驗也非常豐富 可以讓你悠閒的度過一天 下龍灣真的不錯 下次還會來 If u need photo u can ask him It’s the best place in ha long bay
No regrets. Worth the price. Lucky for Vietnam with a famous halong bay. A quick daytour was reasonably priced and cut out for our family who all loved pretty scenery and photography. Great support by Don, my tour conductor. Regards, Abhishak

The trip was very nice! Overall it was chill and very flexible, you could add activity in if you wanted or just rest. The views are marvelous and the atmosphere relaxing. Our guide, Micky Mouse, was funny, kind and caring. He created a very nice atmosphere and that encouraged us guests to make new friends among each other. And hey, the lunch was luxurious. My most heartful recommendations!
Great day, beautiful landscape, ha long bay is so amazing and our tour guide is so knowledgeable she explained everything for us along the way
Food was nice ! Scenic view and guide was providing a lot of info on the cave formations. Did not know that we will get wet in the kayak but we still go ahead !
Top organized tour with an attentive guide Mr. Billy, who had a lot of interesting information for us. The journey took just over 2 hours but was still entertaining. To compensate, there were optional options to explore the island by bike or go swimming. The boat was new and modern, with a delicious buffet.
After landing at Hanoi's airport at 5 p.m., he took part in this day trip to Ha Long Bay. The trip was not compact and chilled out, but it was actually a lot to experience over the course of the day. Surprise hole, bamboo boat, paradise island, and evening party after sunset, everything was very happy, and thank you very much for the guide brother, he was very funny.
