We had a wonderful experience! Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and coordinating the transfers was seamless and easy. The cruise itself was beautiful, relaxing, and a great way to experience Ha Long Bay. The entire process was smooth, and we really appreciated how easy they made everything for us. We would definitely recommend Asia Fun Adventures!

Fantastisch! Geen 'fancy' feestboot met harde muziek, heerlijk relaxed varen met een kleine groep. Accommodatie niets op aan te merken en uitstekende maaltijden. De uitleg door en gesprekken met gids Jack Luon maakten mijn 2-daagse trip tot een geweldige herinnering. Zelfs bij regen.

The experience with Unicharm was outstanding. The intinerary was well organised, our guide was very helpful, the room and bed was comfortable, the food was outstanding and the scenery we came to see was amazing. We chose this cruise based on Seek Sophie reviews because they are a smaller boat which goes to quieter, less touristy spots. We sailed past the much busier and popular Halong Bay, and spent the 2 nights and days in quieter waters. This is not a party ship with loud music, which suited us fine. The itinerary is quite active (kayaking, bike riding and trekking) but with the 3D2N cruise, we had a lot of relaxing time as well, so highly recommend that if you want to soak in the amazing natural surroundings.

We had a fantastic experience on Unicharm cruise (Vega Travel) - the kayaking and trekking itinerary was what attracted us to this tour as we prefer adventurous travel experiences. The boat was also great - much more personalised experience given it was a smaller boat with far less people on board. The design of the boat had character and it was so pleasant to see the sails unfurled when we came back from our kayak tour! The bed was so comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing on our private balcony, taking in the incredible views. The food was incredible and staff so attentive to provide for my vegan requirement. Special mention to our tour guide Binh who looked after our every need and provided excellent guiding throughout each activity - I’d recommend this tour and company to anyone and hope to return in the future!

Amazing boat with staff that could not do enough for you.
 Was super impressed with the food and also the excursion to the local village by bike.
 Only downside was our executive room was located directly below the bar not good when the party was still going on gone midnight - and our jet lag was kicking in.
 Absolutely fantastic apart from that - thank you.

The rooms and toilets on the boat were clean. Bed was firm and good. Aircon was super good with the heat. Food was great especially the oysters. Crew was very friendly and helpful.
