Traditional boat, nice and discreet crew, beautiful settings and good fresh food. A recommended tour. Being on a private boat makes the whole Halong experience a fabulous one ! Jumping off the boat in the warm water, kayaking through the caves, sleeping in an isolated and quiet bay. We didn't want to get off that boat !

We booked our boat trip from our hotel in Hanoi (Advisor Hotel - really helpful), and it couldn't have been better. We took a public bus to Cat Ba (bus - minibus - hydrofoil - minibus), then onto our boat for just us, with a crew of 2. Just a bedroom, toilet and small deck - we washed outside on... More

They only took part of the money, however we knew exactly how much we had. When we confronted the owner he first denied it, then said it could not be as he... More

We experienced this personalized cruise on December 2008. Tuan has been very helpful and honest, he perfectly organized the pick up at his hotel with two motorcycles and brought us to a little port behind the hill. There, a very typical boat with sails, a junk, and two sailors were waiting for us. The two men were not able to... More

Four of us did an overnight boat trip with My Ngoc Group. We had a fantastic, relaxing time with just us and a few friendly and helpful crew members. Three delicious meals a day were cooked for us (usually fresh seafood!) and we had basic, but comfortable accommodation. When we weren't relaxing on the boat we did some kayaking, swimming,... More
