I wish I was lying about how horrible it was
⭐☆☆☆☆ 1/5 (I can not upload the video of the infestation here but if you need proof email me at kretaevertsz101@gmail.com) I hope you do not have to experience what I experienced🙏🏽 I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with Sunlight Legend Cruise in Ha Long Bay was by far the worst travel experience I have ever had. The biggest issue was the severe cockroach infestation onboard. During my overnight stay, I found at least five cockroaches inside my cabin alone, and I also saw roaches in various areas around the boat, including on the deck. This was extremely disturbing and unacceptable for an overnight cruise. The situation became so bad that I did not feel comfortable sleeping in my room. Instead, I spent most of the night awake on the top deck because staff informed me that there were “less roaches” there. No guest should ever have to choose between sleeping in an infested cabin or staying awake outside all night. In addition to the cockroaches, I personally saw two rats in the kitchen area. After seeing both roaches throughout the boat and rats in the kitchen, I no longer felt comfortable eating any of the food served onboard due to serious hygiene concerns. What made the experience even more disappointing was how the complaint was handled. I paid $165 for this cruise, yet the company only offered a $20 refund, and this was only after I provided the booking agency with photos and videos documenting the conditions onboard. Even more concerning, a staff member onboard told me that the company was already aware of the infestation issues but continued to bring guests onboard. If this is true, it is completely unacceptable. Ha Long Bay itself is absolutely breathtaking, but unfortunately this cruise completely ruined what should have been an unforgettable experience for all the right reasons. I strongly encourage future travelers to thoroughly research this company, read recent reviews carefully, and seriously consider other cruise options if cleanliness and hygiene are important to you. I sincerely hope Sunlight Legend Cruise takes immediate action to address these sanitation issues, because no guest should have to endure this type of experience.

Dirty and Unorganised
We booked a 3 day 2 night cruise but when on board we were told we had to move to another boat for second day as boat was being tested! Not relaxed so changed to 1 night. Mr Loi is a complete rude and u0nconcerning man that dosent care for his staff or his customers. Breakfast 2nd day 7am lunch 2nd day 10.30 am put on bus for transfer to Ha now at 11.45 then told had to wait for 2 more people from another company! 13.40 we left after I kept texting the wonderful Mr Loi asking how much longer. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS VERY POOR AND BADLY RUN COMPANY!!!! Also Fingernails in our bathroom and on window seal........AVOID

Thorough enjoyment in Ha Long
The tour was exceptional from pickup to drop-off, with thorough enjoyment throughout. The entire staff, including the bus driver, provided outstanding service.

Shopping tour with a horrible cabin.
There was a 1 hour shopping stop from Hanoi and then a 30 min shopping stop back from Halong Bay. If you're okay with that then fine, but I don't like to be forced to go shopping when I've paid for a tour. The cabin was sickening, literally. The generator fumes constantly streamed into our window all night because it wouldn't close fully. The generator made a lot of noise which would have made it difficult to sleep, but we ended up needing to turn the air conditioning to help with the fumes and that was even louder. The next day I had a wicked headache from the fumes and lack of sleep.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.
How much does Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat cost?
+
Prices start at $1900000 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 Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat 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 Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 718 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat?
+
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 Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat 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 Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat?
+
Around 251 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 Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Traditional Boat 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.
