Cozy Bay Classic Cruise

Ha Long Bay itself is a bucket list destination and it is a magical place. The food that is provided was very good quality and you there was plenty of it! They just keep bringing food to the table so can not fault this part of the journey.

Poor organisation! It clearly states that bookings cannot be made with 24 hours notice however there was a very last minute booking which we had to wait (10 minutes) but actually this was more like half an hour before picking them up. Then you drive 2.5 hours to stop by what is simply a tourist trap but tour guide try make out that it is something special (its not at all) and also made out that it is a good half way mark to stop by..... It took us about 20 minutes from there to get to the boat. Bit of a con when they say 2 days 1 night just like a lot of other reviews state so we knew about this. However when you do not get to the actual boat until after mid day (in normal times) But you are delayed due to that booking and then when we arrived, the boat was not ready so we had to sit (again)!! and wait a further 30 minutes we was not impressed along with the other guests. Drinks should be included in the price when paying such amount. The boat is very dated and to be honest rather scratty, looks like it is falling apart. A lot of other boats seemed to be the same but not as bad as this.

tour guide Duong speaks good English and is very helpful.

the toilet is quite small

The staff and tour guide were so friendly and informative. We packed a lot into the overnight cruise. Good value for money!

Dinner and lunch consisted of mainly fried food. The room/bathroom could use renovation. Unsure on the need to stop at two pearl farms where they recite the same information.

Excellent organization of the tour at Ha Long Bay and transfer from Hanoi - we were really impressed by the professionalism of the crew and our tour guide, Mr Đường Food was very tasty and all activities fun Had an excellent sleep in the bay Sparkling clean

Wifi on the Boat not working - although our tour guide was very kind and shared his internet when needed via hotspot from his phone

Guide and caves were good. Different from pictures provided.

I don't recommend this cruise. It is too overpriced for what it is worth. I paid $226 AUD. It's and old small boat with old amenities. Ha Long Bay is fantastic for some once in a lifetime. I suggest going with the bigger boats makes such a difference. I felt my trip was ruined by this experience. Don't go by the 5 star reviews I dont know who is writing them. I really wanted to write this so you could enjoy Ha Long Bay so pick a good company and pay extra for something better. I won't pay more than $70US for this.

everyone was really nice and the boat was clean.

it was a bit expensive but so is very cruise in Halong Bay.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The surroundings are magnificent, beautiful location.

It wasn’t very clean. WiFi was not working, the guide did share his hotspot with some people.
