Overnight Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay Cruise with Hanoi Pickup and Drop-off
Overview
The V’Spirit Premier Cruise takes the route less travelled, bestowing to you a chance to step back in time and see the bay before the dawn of tourism. We find this in Lan Ha Bay, the southern section of Halong Bay and an indistinguishable limestone copy of its more famous neighbour. Here, the voice of the wild speaks louder than the roar of the engine, where statuesque mountains, evocative caverns and jungle-clad islands comprise nature’s silent masterpiece.

We were picked up from our hotel in Hanoi on time and traveled approx 2.1/4 to Pick up our boat . We were kept fully informed of the itinerary at all times. Unfortunately the weather was bad and I found myself in a bamboo boat in the torrential rain but it was still fun. Because of the weather we couldn’t sit out on the deck and soak up the sun and beautiful scenery. Good points , as a vegetarian I am never quite sure what I will eat , the staff and chef went out of their way to make sure I had lots of choices and the food was the best I’ve had while on holiday . Only negatives were being woken at 7 for breakfast , brunch was then. 10.30 and we sat around til 12.30 before we disembarked. Maybe adjustments could be made because of the weather.Awesome food, great drinks and helpful staff. Such a great way to experience a beautiful part of Vietnam.

This tour was outstanding. The accommodation were satisfactory to say the least. Ha long Bay, Vietnam is a must see and I will definitely be returning. What I enjoyed the most about the tour was the tour guide's knowledge of Vietnam's history and economic status. I actually feel more educated on Vietnam and have a better appreciation for Vietnamese culture and traditions. Thank you for the educational experience.This trip was part of a package tour.

WE were welcomed with a nice drink followed by a delicious lunch.. A bit of relax then we were taken on raw boats to a wonderfool lagoon reached rhrough natural tunnels with beautiful stalactites descending from the roof.Returning to the main boat was nice and comfy - A fresh swim and a nice apreritive on the upper deck prepared us for a delicious dinner. Special mention goes to the extreme courtesy and availablity of the crew. I had a big problem with my phone and computer and thanks to Mr Binh great kindness aand competence the solution was quickly reached - I can't wait to returno to Halong Bay and V-Cruise
