The Perfect Halong Bay Day
We had a long list of demands from the type of boat to the food supplied. They fulfilled all our demands perfectly and created an extremely memorable day
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback, Jeremy! You joined a private boat trip with us and we tried our best to make sure you would get anything you need. Thanks so much for keeping in touch and your support during the trip. We do appreciate and would love to host you again. Best regards, Luong

Not bad, but disappointing.
Our tour guide was great and we enjoyed all the sights we saw in Halong Bay. But nothing about this experience felt "deluxe" and there were many issues. The food and boat were unremarkable, much less nice than what we saw in the pictures on this site. There was also no air conditioning on the boat, which was especially problematic when we had to wait 45 minutes for a lost couple and the crew wouldn't let us go up top where the air was more open. But the worst part was the bus ride, which had the opposite problem: it was way too cold and the seats were very uncomfortable. And there were extra charges for everything (towels, water, even a rinse after swimming). I wouldn't go so far as to recommend against doing this tour, but you should have realistic expectations about what you are getting for your money.

Good, but mediocre. Not up to expectations.
Pros: Fun staff English friendly Overall good places we visited Cons Not up the expectations from pictures provided Food was very basic and not representative of Vietnamese cuisine Pit stop had a pearl shop catered to tourists purchasing pearls, not for everyone. To expand on this review I would've liked more interactions with the tour guide discussing more about the history of some of the islands and experiences that were had on the trip. Overall not bad but definitely left a funny feeling given that the pictures were vastly different than the cruise itself.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your information. We will take care of your feedback. Not up the expectations from pictures provided - Thank you. But we tried to updated everything. Food was very basic and not representative of Vietnamese cuisine - It is a group tour and we try to serve all the guests taste. Pit stop had a pearl shop catered to tourists purchasing pearls, not for everyone. As you saw, halong bay is too busy for this summer, we need a short breakfast before going to the boat. It is the rest stop and we can visit or just go to rest room and back to our bus. It is not compulsory.

Horrible experience!! Nothing luxurious
There was nothing luxurious about this tour.Took us in a junkyard board claiming its luxurious. The food was very very limited felt like having snacks. 40 minutes at tea top island, 40 minutes in some stupid cave and 25 minutes kayaking. That is the whole trip. The guide Mr Dave ( What he called himself ) was a racist man. Was only talking nicely to White people but was extremely rude with me and my friends since we are brown. I really don’t know if this is the meaning of luxury then what can you expect from a cheap tour?
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your feedback. Our cruise is just deluxe and not luxury tour. We will check our guide. We are sure that our guides are well educated for the communication and culture. There is no way to have racist man. If we do this, not only you, our other guests they also complain. For this case, we trust our tour guide. But please check, we dont guarantee the LUXURY tour. You maybe booked somewhere else and now complain us. It is unfair. For next time, just contact us directly, we will give you full information before you go.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated cost?
+
Prices start at $61 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 Hanoi is not rushed.
Is DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 70 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated?
+
Around 25 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does DELUXE Halong Cruise 1 Day Tour From Hanoi - Daily Operated 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City 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 Hanoi?
+
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 Hanoi?
+
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.
