Top Hanoi Sailing Trips

What an amazing day. The entire tour was well planned and executed. From the pick up to drop off there were no wasted time. The boat was clean, the food was amazing and Halong Bay was one of the most beautiful wonders of nature. Viet, the guide, was professional and informative.

We had very great experience. The trip included vegetarian food. Caves are good although the kayaking boats often collide with big family boats.

The cruise experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The ship was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. Food options were great with plenty of variety, and every meal felt fresh and tasty.

This tour was, in a word, exceptional. From the moment of booking to the final drop-off, every detail was handled with professionalism and genuine care. If you are looking for a seamless way to explore the local culture and landmarks.

Very nice cruise, great activities, guide was very kind and co-operative, amazing service, an experience of a lifetime!

Great service from Jake and the rest of the team! Was a very enjoyable experience with various activities.

Kong was an amazing host and gave us the history of the place as we drive there. Very comfortable bus and great experience with great food on board a luxurious boat. Service was impeccable overall and the place magical.

Henry was our guide for the whole. The bus was luxurious with charging points and he provided water to start. We were provided bathroom stop and once near the bay we also headed to see the Ha Long Pearl shop. Once we were near the bay we made it to the our cruise boat top floor, beautiful views, food and drinks. Our group went to Ti top island and hiked to the top and hung out at the beach . Also road on a speed boat round the bay, fun fun, fun. Made our way back to the Hanoi happy and tired. Thanks again Henry with Santa on stick (lol)

A great experience for my family in Halong bay. We booked the day cruise with this operator and we had what we paid for, what we expected for years. The cruise was so wonferful, lunch was delicous and the guide was very fun. Halong is so impressive. We really recommend!

Pick up was on time, very organized tour from start to finish. Absolutely beautiful! As a solo traveler it was a great way to meet people.

Ha Long Bay is immensely beautiful, and a must visit place if you are in North Vietnam. This one day excursion from Hanoi is perfectly tailored for tourists who can not spend multiple days & nights on the bay, but would like to explore it and see the main attractions in a day. The tour started in Hanoi, with pick up offered from within the Old Quarter. Those staying outside the old quarter (like yours truly) have to arrive at a pre-determined pickup spot in the morning. The tourists were put in a comfortable minibus and transferred to the Ha Long cruise terminal . The road trip took about 3 hours. Just before reaching the terminal, we were also taken for a short visit to a local pearl farm, where several jewellery items made of natural pearls are available for sale, complete with a genuineness certificate. On boarding the cruise, we were served a very good lunch menu buffet-style (price included within the booking), with additional options available a la carte (need to be paid for). In about one hour of cruising on the bay, we reached the Sung Sot cave, which is a natural cave on one of the islands in the bay. It is a cave with three chambers, connected by narrow passages, with the successive chambers becoming larger in size (the third chamber is insanely large). After the cave, came the optional activity part. I chose to do the Speedboat + Bamboo Boat ride on the bay (kayaking is also available). Note that the price for the optional activity is not included in the original booking, and is to be separately paid for (speedboat + bamboo boat took 300K VND). Speedboat ride allows you to explore parts of the bay not covered by the cruise, while the bamboo boat takes you through a small tunnel into a natural enclosure formed by the karst mountains of the bay. Finally, the last part of the activity involved visiting the Titop island, where one has to either choose between going for a swim on the beach or take a hike up the mountain (it is difficult to manage both because only about 45 minutes are given for the Titop island activity). I chose to go on the hike, which involves climbing about 450 or so steps to the top. The view of the bay from above is exhilarating and is totally worth the exhaustion from climbing :-) While returning back to the cruise terminal, we were offered evening snacks and fruits on the cruise deck, with nice party music playing in the background. From the terminal, we went back to Hanoi, with a short 15 minute break in between the drive. All in all, I highly recommend this experience.

We enjoyed this trip so much. Every part was well organised, the guide Peter was excellent and kept to the schedule.

It’s a fantastic day. The scenery, the experience, the first class food and all the staff, from the tour guide to the driver and not forgetting the boat crew made the an exceptional experience

Very xulo, although the journey to arrive is long, it is worth it is very xulo. Incredible views, the food is perfect and the evening very beautiful

Great and comfortable! Loved the cruise and overall experience. The tour folks took good care of our needs

Great cruise with lovely food and hospitality. Would recommend despite the weather. Our guide tung was hard to understand English wasn’t good which made it quite difficult but overall the trip was great.
