3 day 2 night Amanda Cruise
Really enjoyed our trip especially the second day. The room wasn’t as spacious as the pictures & our deck was a rail outside the sliding door/window - but it was comfortable, clean & the water pressure was good 👍 The staff were amazing. A special mention Dan the Man, Hannah & Tom. The food was fabulous 😋 So others are aware - Amanda cruises have 10 boats. The 2nd day we went out on a different boat but left our luggage on the Amanda (this wasn’t clear when we booked). The day boat was fabulous. It included a cold water spa pool. We loved the kayaking & the peace & quiet of the 2nd day. Thank you
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback We are so happy that you enjoyed the 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

Absolutely beautiful trip of Halong Bay... value for money
The Golden Rooster deserves the GOLD!!! Ms. Anna was soooooo warm and welcoming. We just lived the small but quaint and comfy room. It was very comfortable and had just about everything that we could have expected. The location is just purrrrrfect and walkable to the markets.. Fortunately we were there on a Sunday and so we were advised to visit the night market. This was a wonderful experience. The breakfast was adequately scrumptious and we thoroughly enjoyed it. An absolute value for money place. Thank you verrrrrry much Anna for your hospitality!!! Keep it up team Golden Rooster.. Hope to be back some day 😀🙏😍

Absolutely stunning scenery, great company
The cruise was great, transfer from Hanoi to ha long bay was smooth, they packed it all in but not in a way that was rushed, and I felt like they really went all out to make my time in that magical place as special as they could. My only regret is that I didn’t go for longer.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.
How much does 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night cost?
+
Prices start at $165 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 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night 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 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night?
+
Around 1 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 5-STAR Amanda Cruise - Ha Long Bay Explorer - 2 Days 1 Night 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.
