Real experiences from real travelers
The luxury day tour was absolute perfection. The limousine transfer from Hanoi was so comfortable, and the cruise itself was stunning. The lunch buffet was huge with so many seafood options. Climbing Titop Island was tough but the view is 100% worth it!
We booked the 2-day overnight cruise and it was magical. Waking up to the limestone karsts right outside our window was a dream. The staff were incredibly attentive and the cooking class was fun. Highly recommend booking the luxury option.
The scenery is breathtaking. The cave is huge and very impressive. The only reason for 4 stars is that it's a long day from Hanoi, but the new highway makes it much faster than it used to be. The bamboo boat ride was lovely.
Booked the Catherine Cruises VIP experience. Absolutely world-class. The room was better than most hotels I've stayed in. Food was fine dining quality. If you can afford the upgrade, do it!
Very smooth organization from pickup to drop off. The guide spoke good English and explained the history of the bay well. Sung Sot cave is magnificent. I felt very safe the whole time.
We took the standard day tour. The boat was clean and the lunch was decent. It was a bit crowded at the pier but once on the boat it was relaxing. Kayaking was the best part.
I was worried about food but the crew prepared special vegetarian meals for me that were delicious. The sunset party on the deck was a beautiful way to end the day.
You can't come to Vietnam and miss this. The scale of the place is unbelievable. Booking online was easy and the voucher worked perfectly.
