We loved the experience. The staff was amazing, the food was great quality, the service was also great, especially considering I’m vegetarian. Mr Dong was very helpful and friendly. Drinks could have a fairer price, and the activities could be better communicated. Other than that, everything was great.
This 2 days/ 1 night trip was unforgetable. When we came with smaller boat to our cruise, the crew warmly welcomed us with delecious tea and towels to refresh ourselves. Our room was absolutely amazing, with private massage bath and sauna, and giant terace. Crew is above friendly, food was delecious, activites were fun, roof bar was awesome and cooking class was a ver pleasant surprise. Definetly recommend!
The crew were very welcoming and caring, the food and drinks were all very tasty.
Amazing views of the islands, and cozy rooms with a great view.
This is a must do trip whilst in Vietnam. The views speak for themselves whether from the cruise boat or the kayak. Dong and his crew were first class and the food was excellent. Wish we could have stayed for longer!
Excellent value cruise for the cost. our chief host Dong was very jovial and helpful. Only wished we knew drinks wasn’t included in the cost
