Fantastic service, beautiful boat, wonderful place! However, the boat should make an effort to contribute to reduce waste and clean the Halong area to maintain it's beauty and magic.

1 Day Halong Cruise on Luxury Modern Catamaran

We just loved that it’s a smaller boat. Traveling with a small group makes it much more personal. Our group was great! The staff was very helpful, the activities were fun and the surrounding are just stunning! This was definitely one the highlights of our holiday!

Hands down the best 3 days I spent in Vietnam. The team at Dragon team were experienced, knew every turns and valleys of Ha giang. Felt extremely safe with my Easy rider Sen. The ride had regular stops each 15-20 mins giving good rest time in between and soaking in the majestic beauty of Ha giang. The local food was delicious and the stay were hygienic. Brownie points to Karaoke nights each evening.

Our time with the dragon team was incredible !
 We had a small group of only 3, and it was so nice. The drivers were obviously very experienced and safe. The scenery was three days of stunning, unreal views. 
 Would do this again 100%

We had quiete nice time overall. The itenary was very well organized. We didn't want to do the most touristy tours and we were satisfied. Our tour guide Hoi (or Hi) was very knowledgeable about the area and spoke very well English. The food was very good and we loved to learn a lot about the local life. 
 Bear in mind that it isn't a luxurious boat. We didn't have high expectations so we were satisfied. Drinks aren't included and it's quiete expensive on the boat - we were surprised by that.

I don’t think there is a better cruise out there for Ha Long Bay. The true highlight is that this cruise takes a different route that is much less popular, making it feel much less touristy and personal. Louis, our guide, speaks incredible English and tells great cultural and history stories. He also tells funny jokes! The food, experience, and crew aboard this cruise are incredible. Would recommend to anyone in an instant.

This tour promised to go on a route away from the main routes of bikes and to have some cultural experiences in nature. I can honestly say it truly delivered and then some. Dragon team had everything well organized, timely, with plenty of rest breaks in beautiful places. They played Da Cau with the young guys, were always laughing and joking with each other, and let me join them for green tea in the mornings. We spent time among the Tay people and were lucky enough to be present when there was a locals market happening, selling everything from animals to farm implements. My driver Guan (guessing at the spelling here) was outstanding in his consideration and care for me, always making sure I was safe, happy, and offering me new things to experience. I felt completely safe even on the very rough, steep and narrow roads. Even though I cannot speak Vietnamese and he could not speak much English we got by with generous use of friendliness and the occasional use of a translator app. We also had a couple of english speaking guides in the group who could help us when it was getting all too hilarious! By the end I was so relaxed and full hearted. I'd definitely recommend traveling with them.
