Excellent n Impressive
From the moment we boarded the cruise till we left with fond memories everything was wonderful and well arranged. We had opted for vegetarian Indian meals and all meals were excellent and delicious. Staff was courteous and polite. Rooms were spacious and clean. Live band and all activities were enjoyable. Highly recommended if you are looking for proper Indian meals and excellent stay.

Ha Long once in a lifetime experience!
The cruise was wonderful from the start. Once we stepped in the cruise, the staff were super attentive and made sure we enjoyed every thing the cruise had to offer. All the meals were excellent, especially the dinner with so many options. My kids enjoyed the “cooking” class and even received certificates of completion for attending. We got to enjoy the snack they made from the class. The views were breath taking!! If you can you must do the cruise as a once in a lifetime experience.

Wonderful scenery, service didn't quite live up to expectation
We took the overnight trip to Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba island. This trip started well with a call from Paradise to our guide checking we were on time. We were welcomed at the centre but there was a little confusion over which electric bus we were to catch - no problem but seemed a little less well organised than we expected. We were amongst the first on to the transfer boat and there was quite a lot of waiting for the rest of the passengers to join us. Then the transfer to our boat was not by speedboat and took around an extra hour. The consequence was there was quite a lot of wasted time. It was not what we expected not really 5* or even 4* service. The return at the end of the cruise was by speedboat although it was probably a bit less comfortable as the boat is noisy. Once on the boat everything was handled efficiently, The cabin was large and comfortable and well fitted although the bed was rock hard and certainly didn't suit by back. Sadly, I had a very poor night's sleep. When we sat down for lunch we were extremely disappointed as there was virtually nothing for my partner to eat at the buffet as she is allergic to seafood and generally prefers a vegetarian diet although she does eat some fish. Even the salads contained seafood. Our travel agent says that they always provide notification of food requirements so this was particularly disappointing. However, once we explained, they quickly provided a number of vegetarian dishes for her which were fine. The choices for dinner were Ok for her too. We took the trip to Cat Ba island which we enjoyed and which was reasonably well organised. There seemed to be some staff confusion about which buses we were to use to return and which tender we were going to board but they sorted it out between them. Dinner was served and was well presented and tasty although the beef I had, whilst cooked as requested, was tougher than I had expected. When we finished our meal, I noticed that other diners had left their beef so I suspect it was the beef rather than the chef. One small issue we had was the salt cellar was blocked and whilst we asked for a replacement, that was clearly forgotten. What was more disappointing was that it still hadn't been replaced at breakfast, which had the additional minor issue that the table appeared to have been used by someone else and we had to ask for cutlery. The live entertainment was good but sadly we were the only people in the bar listening - we felt guilty about leaving. The canoe trip to the cave was enjoyed by my partner - apparently it was not that well taken up. Overall, the boat, restaurant and cabin were great and the views amazing. Our return to land was via speedboat - much quicker - but it wasn't to the Paradise centre. There was then some confusion as to where people had to go but for us a call to our guide sorted that out. Unfortunately we had a very dull day but that gave everything an extra air of serenity - just not the best for taking photos! We completed a feedback form on the boat and were promptly given a refund of our extras so it is obvious they want to deliver a first class service. Our overall view is that the long initial transfer and the issues with food meant that we did not have a 5* experience and were rather disappointed. We felt as if some additional commentary on the area might have been appropriate too even though we, as we expect others would, previously did our homework.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations. At Paradise Vietnam, we are committed to providing high-quality service to all of our guests, and we will make every effort to improve moving forward. We would be grateful for the opportunity to welcome you again and would be delighted to make things right if you give us another chance.

Paradise Grand Cruise
Lovely cruise around Ha Long Bay. We did the two day one night option and really enjoyed the cruise. The rooms are a great size with a lovely balcony area. They had a few different excursions off the ship and some entertainment on the ship. We did the cooking demonstration and had a lot of fun with that. Everyone on board is very helpful and friendly. Would recommend if you have a chance.
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for providing feedback on your recent experience at Paradise Vietnam. We take pride in providing a luxury and comfortable space for all of our customers, so our team appreciates that you noticed. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.
How much does 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music cost?
+
Prices start at $589 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ha Long Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ha Long Bay is not rushed.
Is 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 84 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music?
+
Around 29 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ha Long Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ha Long Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day on 5-star Cruise, Lan Ha Bay | Kayak, Cycling, Live Music start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ha Long Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ha Long Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Ha Long Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All Inclusive 2 Days Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay on Au Co cruise, Top Tier: Overnight Ha Long Bay Cruise 5-Star, Balcony Cabin-2D1N, All inclusive Bhaya 2-Day Halong Bay Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ha Long Bay?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ha Long Bay?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
