    Avoid both 'Easy Tours' and Sunlight Travel.

    We had a horrible experience with the tour operator. After pick up during the first rest area stop our tour guide 'Pink!' told us that the boat initially booked was full and we would be moved to a different boat, which we thought would be for everyone. However, it was just us who were moved to a different boat (a junk boat called Anam Junk). As you can see from the conversation with the Easy tour person, the boat was not even ready for departure and they were waiting for government permission to depart. Eventually it started around 2 hours late, because of which they cannot follow the tour schedule to go to Surprise cave first and went directly to Titop island. That was the only thing that was done on the first day. The cooking show was just a guy on the boat show you how to roll rice papers. No other entertainment and they finished dinner by 7 and left you to spend a long night on a shabby room. No squid fishing or any other things. It was a nightmarish night we were hoping to end soon. There were two more families on the boat, one couple from New Zealand and a group of 5 from France. The boat was in pathetic condition with shabby rooms, and bathrooms. There was a huge gap as you can see in the picture between the room and the bathroom door, offering almost no privacy. The cruise only kept two of the promises - took us to Titop island and next morning only for 45 min took people to Surprise cave. Rest of the activities mentioned in the program was not followed. The cruise also was in a hurry to end. Asked people to check out by 9.30 instead of 10.30 that was mentioned in the program and docked by 11.10. Overall it was a huge disappointment, compared to the other cruises we could see and rooms we could see from our ship. This is borderline fraud and I am not sure how Viator allowed these people to sell it through their site. we paid 140$ each and then spoke to other people who had way better experiences and rooms at $125 or less. As a matter of fact you can find better deals if you book through local operators at Hanoi old quarter, where there is an agent at almost every corner selling cruises. The highest price we saw there was $85. In addition, our guide Pink kept telling us all the boats have same program, which if we believe her, provides a glimpse what kind of tour 'Easy tour' and 'Sunlight travels' are running. Rather book locally and make sure you get the name of the boat and programs in writing. Lastly, when we complained to viator, the agents were asking us what we wanted to do rather than providing any remedy. And we are also not sure what we wanted to do when we are in middle of the bay/ sea. Viator should know better to handle customer experiences in a better way than they did. Until now we had good experience with tour operators connected with Viator, but the credibility is now taking a toss.

    Best overnight cruise in Halong Bay

    Amazing overnight cruise. Tom the cruise director looked after us for the entire 2 day stay. All his staff were amazing. Food was beyond delicious and we were kept entertained with karaoke, squid fishing,kayaking, walks and lots of food. This is a must experience if you want to cruise Halong Bay. Definitely worth the time and money.

    Halong Bay onboard Le Journey a journey itself

    The cruise was amazing, well organised and tour guide Tom makes it it fun and enjoyable. The cruise takes you to Ti Top island where you should definitely take a walk to the top for an amazing view and then finish off with a swim. Food serviced onboard is delicious and has great variety.

    Halong deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Halong deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices cost?

    +

    Prices start at $180 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 Halong deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices 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 Hanoi is not rushed.

    Is Halong deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 20 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 Halong deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices?

    +

    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 deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices 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 deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices?

    +

    Around 7 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Halong deluxe cruise 2D/1N: Surprise cave, Titop island, Full Meals, best prices 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.
