Avoid if you can it is a tourist trap

Let's start... NEGATIVES: 1) you are not allowed to bring your own drinks (even water) or food (even snacks) during the tour, so you have to buy them onboard where you are overcharged if compared to mainland prices. To this inconvenience, only highlited AFTER you have already booked and paid the tour, add the total lack of kindness and politeness of the crew members that pass silently and distractedly by the tables with their trays. 2) You get into the minibus and once is full the Guide starts a 40 minutes talk about how life is expensive in Vietnam (come on mate! Seriously?!). Seems like he is trying to move you to piety more than giving real tourist informations (nearly nothing i am honest). 3) Once in Tuan Chau you are boarded into a ship that clearly needs a good clean and a renovation. It smells muldly, the lower deck is just a dining room with tables lined up along the windows (shutted so you can't even consider the idea of opening one to breath a bit or to escape...) and a bar. The only comfty sitting are in the upper deck and they are not enough for the ammount of pax loaded (only 4 soft chairs!!!). So pepare for discomfort. 4) The food served was a real nightmare. Fish served with the bones and not an empty dish where store them, quality very Poor. 5) they serve you the food as soon as the ship leaves the harbour without any announcement of welcome by the crew or the captain (they did not even introduce themselfes!!)... Like a bus! The worst is that once the torture of lunch is over they clear the tables and a lady position on EACH of them a selection of goods to sell you: consider that your table is the only area where you can leave your bag and your belongings or have a rest sitted without getting a cold outside, so it is VERY DISAPPOINTING. These ladies don't smile, they don't talk to you. They approach you only to sell you their goods and with rocket high prices. 6) i booked this tour specifically because it was one of the few that was giving you the chance to SWIM. well forget it... The Guide infact, forgets to tell you that the first stop, at ti top island, is your ONLY chance to SWIM. They focus on telling you you have 30 minutes to go up to the hill top and back before being left behind... Without mentioning that the beach is the only places where you would be ever allowed to swim in all the trip!! 6) Kayaking is a quick paddle in and out of a cave (20 minutes total) with such a traffic in the cave that you risk to crush against the other kayaks!) 7) all is done without any info during the cruise and while on the Islands. The Guide looks like is there for decoratives uses. The positives: 1) The stop during the trip to Halong bay is at a very nice place where you can eat and drink with a variety of choice and reasonable prices. 2) the punctuality. So my suggestion is: take a good look around, invest a bit more money and choose a luxury mini cruise or if you have a bit more time consider a cruise with overnight stay (some are simply super!!)

Response from the operator: Dear Traveler Many thank for your choosing and booking with our service We hope can host you again next time For the your review , we would like explain as the below: 1) you are not allowed to bring your own drinks (even water) or food (even snacks) during the tour, so you have to buy them onboard where you are overcharged if compared to mainland prices. To this inconvenience, only highlited AFTER you have already booked and paid the tour, add the total lack of kindness and politeness of the crew members that pass silently and distractedly by the tables with their trays. Answer: The regulation not bring your own drink is follow Ha Long Management Department , and all cruises in Ha Long Bay have to follow that because they control everything on Ha Long Bay. If they don't do that , they will pay money to Ha Long Management Department As you said , so do you want pay money to Ha Long Management Department For snacks : There were not regulation about customers can not bring snacks. We already confirmed you only for can not bring your own drinks and we said to you check tour confirmed again. You said everything correct =) This thing , you are wrong 2-2) You get into the minibus and once is full the Guide starts a 40 minutes talk about how life is expensive in Vietnam (come on mate! Seriously?!). Seems like he is trying to move you to piety more than giving real tourist informations (nearly nothing i am honest). Answer: All of tour guide in Vietnam are always happy to assist all customers and give them information about Vietnamese peoples and how is their life. People in Vietnam is very friendly and helpful . Tour guide do his job and try want to make the tour is good for all customers 3) Once in Tuan Chau you are boarded into a ship that clearly needs a good clean and a renovation. It smells muldly, the lower deck is just a dining room with tables lined up along the windows (shutted so you can't even consider the idea of opening one to breath a bit or to escape...) and a bar. The only comfty sitting are in the upper deck and they are not enough for the ammount of pax loaded (only 4 soft chairs!!!). So pepare for discomfort. Answer: You booked "STANDARD CRUISE" and you pay cheap price for the tour but you request higher quality boat. Why you don't book DELUXE CRUISE or LUXURY CRUISE . They are bigger boat and better service but more EXPENSIVE , right? So you don't want to book them so you choose booked STANDARD CRUISE for save money. You get what you pay, it is very fair to everyone . We have lot customers who booked DELUXE CRUISE and LUXURY CRUISE and they said tour is very perfect. 4) The food served was a real nightmare. Fish served with the bones and not an empty dish where store them, quality very Poor. Answer: You can ask all people in the world that Does fish have with the bones or not with Bones. May you want us take bones out of FISH, Right? You are not the KING , we serve to all people not for only you 5) they serve you the food as soon as the ship leaves the harbour without any announcement of welcome by the crew or the captain (they did not even introduce themselfes!!)... Like a bus! The worst is that once the torture of lunch is over they clear the tables and a lady position on EACH of them a selection of goods to sell you: consider that your table is the only area where you can leave your bag and your belongings or have a rest sitted without getting a cold outside, so it is VERY DISAPPOINTING. These ladies don't smile, they don't talk to you. They approach you only to sell you their goods and with rocket high prices. Answer: Our staff on Boat is always smiles and friendly to tourist . That is our Job, you know . May be you are not friendly customers so no one want to welcome you 6) i booked this tour specifically because it was one of the few that was giving you the chance to SWIM. well forget it... The Guide infact, forgets to tell you that the first stop, at ti top island, is your ONLY chance to SWIM. They focus on telling you you have 30 minutes to go up to the hill top and back before being left behind... Without mentioning that the beach is the only places where you would be ever allowed to swim in all the trip!! Answer: Swimming is one of activities in tour itinerary so all tour guide don't want cut this activities because tour guide know already all customers know very cleary itinerary When you see tour guide cut swimming activiies, why you don't ask kim about this and request him let you can swimming. 7) Kayaking is a quick paddle in and out of a cave (20 minutes total) with such a traffic in the cave that you risk to crush against the other kayaks!) Answer: You can choose do Kayaking or Bamboo Boat not only do Kayaking. If you see Kayaking is risk , why you don't inform tour guide change do Bamboo Boat And we sure that tour guide is also inform to you already before doing kayaking 7) all is done without any info during the cruise and while on the Islands. The Guide looks like is there for decoratives uses. We already check with our tour guide. He said when you got on boat, you are happy everything. Nothing happen that until when the boat stop at Fishing House Village for doing Kayaking or Bamboo Boat. You get off the boat but it suddenly your knee was hurt and bloody . Our tour guide asked you to take care you but you said you don't need . And since from that time, you are not happy any more and you also said to tour guide, you hate fishing house village and Chinese tourist And now you said tour guide looks like is there for decorative uses. For all things, you are come from western country and we are respect to you but we don't think because of your hurt , you write all very bad about us like this We also check with other customers who also join in the same tour and boat with you. They are very happy and enjoyed the trip and boat with us. Only you write bad review like this . Next time, when you book any tour from any where, please book DELUXE or LUXURY CRUISE. and you will like a KING and all people will serve to you . Certainly also pay more money . Don't book STANDARD CRUISE and enjoyed all the tour then back to hotel write wrong feedback like this. You come from WESTERN COUNTRY, please do right thing as we respect to you But again, we would like to say thank you very much for your tour booking. Take care yourself Best Regard Kevin (Mr )

NIGHTMARE

The worst tour did in Vietnam. The boat was different, in the photo we saw a newest boat and we booked falling in this trap. what kind of trap? Tourist trap! When we finished the disgusting lunch (And I love vietnamite food) , the crew filled all the tables with souvenir, jewellery, t-shirt and other things. They left those there all day, asking us to buy something. The policy of the both is "no water on board", because the ask every 5 minutes to buy drinks passing with a tray, especially when we were back from an escursion. Ales the guide was the only one kind, but they were all rude. Listen to me, try another company... not this one.

Response from the operator: Dear Traveler Many thank for your booking with us and we hope will host you next time And also many thank for your review about the tour , let us explain as the below: 1-The boat was different, in the photo we saw a newest boat and we booked falling in this trap. what kind of trap? Tourist trap! Answer: The photo on Website is photo of STANDARD CRUISE and not new photo so you can not know that is a newest boat. Let us know you just see 1 profile photo that is not shown new or old , you know and sure that is newest boat . You are very good imagination, right ? And for your booking,. you booked option " STANDARD CRUISE " not booked " DELUXE CRUISE " or " LUXURY CRUISE " and you also pay cheap price for the tour . You booked " STANDARD CRUISE" so you request better service . Why you don't book " DELUXE CRUISE " or "LUXURY CRUISE" . We also both of them on WEBSITE . May you see the price is very expensive and higher than your budget so you decided choose book " STANDARD CRUISE". And we sure that before booking the tour, you already read very cleary about itinerary and see photos on Website about the CRUISE OPTION. Come on , mate, if you want to be a king on CRUISE, next time, please choose option " DELUXE CRUISE " or " LUXURY CRUISE" and you will look like A KING. And also pay more money to book that don't save money and after the tour, write wrong thing like this You said " Tourist Trap" , please let us know " which is Tourist Trap" - You booked " STANDARD CRUISE" and we keep STANDARD CRUISE for you as same money you pay cheap . If you book option " DELUXE CRUISE" and we keep " STANDARD CRUISE" for you. That thing you can say Tourist Trap . But here we keep SAME CRUISE you booked as money you pay cheap So it is very fair between us and you. You buy "STANDARD CRUISE" , We arrange " STANDARD CRUISE" for you 2-When we finished the disgusting lunch (And I love vietnamite food) , the crew filled all the tables with souvenir, jewellery, t-shirt and other things. They left those there all day, asking us to buy something. The policy of the both is "no water on board", because the ask every 5 minutes to buy drinks passing with a tray, especially when we were back from an escursion. Ales the guide was the only one kind, but they were all rude. Listen to me, try another company... not this one. Answer: About souvenir: people on boat ask you buy something, that's very normal in Vietnam. They work very hard and get little salary so they try to sell to tourist . If you don't want to buy , you can tell them no buy . And we sure they will don't ask you again We already check with our tour guide. He said when you got on boat, you are happy everything. Nothing happen that until when the boat stop at Fishing House Village for doing Kayaking or Bamboo Boat. You get off the boat but it suddenly your knee was hurt and bloody . Our tour guide asked you to take care you but you said you don't need .

Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.

How much does Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway cost?

+

Prices start at $36 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 Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway take?

+

Plan for about 6 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 Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway?

+

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 Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway 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 6-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway?

+

Around 5 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Full-Day Halong Bay Islands and Cave Tour by Transfer Expressway 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.
