Our transfer to and from the hotel was seamless. We contacted Doris Cruise directly via email shortly after booking through Seek Sophie, and received a response confirming our transfer details within 24 to 48 hours. It’s advisable to provide them with a WhatsApp number, as they’ll use it to get in touch on the day of travel. One point that could have been clearer at the outset is that the cruise travels through Lan Ha Bay, not Ha Long Bay itself — the former is adjacent to Ha Long but not a UNESCO World Heritage Site. That said, Lan Ha is equally stunning and far less crowded. The journey begins with a brief rest stop at an oyster farm. There’s no pressure to purchase anything, and it’s simply a pleasant pause before continuing to the pier. On arrival, you’ll find an air-conditioned waiting room, and the staff are on hand to help with luggage and confirm transfer details. Everything runs to schedule, and punctuality is clearly a priority throughout the trip — best not to be the person holding things up! The staff were outstanding. The lead guide spoke English very well, and the rest of the team were friendly, warm, and clearly eager to provide excellent service. We particularly enjoyed chatting with them — hearing their stories and learning more about local life and the surrounding areas. The food exceeded expectations, especially compared to some earlier reviews we’d seen. There was a good range of Vietnamese dishes to try, particularly when buffet meals were served. The cooking demonstration varies each evening, so if you’re staying for the 3D2N itinerary, it’s worth attending both nights. Meals change over the course of the trip as well, keeping things interesting. Breakfast was well-paced and featured both an egg and pho station. Squid fishing was a real highlight — highly recommended. If possible, try to time your trip with the 15th day of the lunar month, as you’ll have a better chance of catching something. One minor point: it would be helpful if more fishing rods were made available, as there weren’t quite enough for everyone. Cycling in Viet Hai village was another standout experience, although it can be quite hot during the summer months. Fortunately, there’s the option to cycle one way and return via electric vehicle. We also had the chance to try snake wine and a fish pedicure while in the village — both memorable in their own ways! A small note: this itinerary is best suited to those who are reasonably able-bodied, as it includes kayaking, swimming (life jackets are advisable), and cycling. We would have appreciated a little more variety in the activities — for example, a hike to a viewpoint or another short excursion might have added some welcome diversity. Lastly, as is the case with most Ha Long Bay cruises, don’t expect reliable Wi-Fi, 5G, or much in the way of internet connectivity while on board. Best to embrace the digital detox and focus on the absolutely stunning scenery all around you.

Our guide Jack was fantastic, he made the experience a lot of fun for everyone. The cruise was great, food was good and the staff were all excellent. Lan Ha bay was unreal, extremely quiet and very minimal rubbish.

I loved this 1 n 2 d boat trip to halong bay. The food was great. A lot of fun, interesting or relaxing activities. The boat can have 24 people. Its Really cozy. You get the chance to interact and make fun with the other passengers. Our guide did everything with pleasure and made it a pleasant and funny trip.

Booked: 2D1N Great Value Halong Cruise (3-Star) | Small Personal Boat

The trip was well organised.Bus trip and Boat trip all ok. Buffet lunch on board was good would have been better if it had been kept hot. Drinks require paying for as an extra. Trip to the cave was ok but ti top island was also good. Sadly over commercialised. For the amount of tourists and revenue generated from tourism you could clean up Halong bay. Sophie website has poor communication with tour operates. Having sent all my personal details and hotel address already to Sophie. I had a panic stricken start to my trip when I had three different people phone me all asking me where my hotel was and one operater saying I had given them the wrong hotel address! When I was already waiting to be picked up.
