Review Body: Very fun party boat through beautiful Ha Long Bay. The kayaking and visit to ti top island was great. The demographic skews a bit younger. Food on the boat was yummy and very accommodating towards dietary requirements. Wish we had more time!

Review Body: First of all you have to take the 2 nights trip. No question, no doubt. The first day you will cruise trough the amazing scenery of halong bay it does not matter how many mountains or rocks you have seen before in life. The view of this 7th worldwonder is like nothing else. The pictures you googled or are going to search up on the internet do not come close to justifying the views you experience when you are actually right in between the scenery. After cruising for a while you have the chance to get even closer to this natural wonder by kajak and by going throug a cave you end up surrounded by a view not attainable amy other way. Later in the evening you dine together and after that you can jump on watertrampolime swim or dive om the cruiseship to finish the night with great people and party. The reason u need to book the two nights follows now. After the first long day and for some also a long partynight you are guaranteed to have had great experiences but also guaranteed to be pretty tired. After waking up you will get breakfeast and cruise to the rightly name 'paradise island'. This island has on both sides the beautiful rocky island you see in halong bay, but between these two, you have a smal island connecting them. With on both the front an the back of the island a beautiful beach with views you will not find anywhere else. Cozy and cute or even crazy cavy cabins to spend the night or take a midday nap. Kajaks to go explore the wondrous environment on your own or with a friend/partner. A cinema set up where u can watch a movie at night and delicious food served to you both for lunch and diner. This idyllic island is something you will not soon or elsewhere get a second to experience. This island what you have always dreamed about having to live the perfect life. Ps: Last but definetly not least, Barry ypur tourguide makes the whole experience that much better! A amazing guy, who speaks english very well. Filled with energy and positivity. He'll tell you stories bout legends of halong bay, he'll make you laugh. Takes care of every question or need you have and accompanies you the whole trip from the minute you get on the bus towards hanoi until you get back and get off, to make sure everybody is having a good time, safe and accounted for.

Review Body: atmosphere was fab, met some great people and had an awesome time with Corey and a Michael hosting. However despite this we have been left with a very sour taste in our mouths. The room we were put in absolutely wreaked of stale urine. At first we thought that maybe with it being a cruise ship that some unusual smells were to be expected, however it’s only after talking with other people we discovered that it wasn’t normal. This was raised with one of the crew and to their credit they immediately sent cleaners in there. Later on in the evening we returned to the room and it smelt slightly better, now a combination of bleach and dry urine. We left the room to go have dinner in hope that it would get better once the bleach smell subsided. We then returned to the room around midnight and tried to sleep, however the smell was so repulsive it was unbearable. I went to get one of the crew members to come into the room so they could smell how bad it was which they agreed and and we were then moved into a different room which was x1000 better. I raised this with management in the morning and asked that if we could be reimbursed in any way as for one night it is an expensive cruise and we had been caused a significant amount of disruption to our Xmas celebrations, this was a flat out no from management and only after relaying that I would be posting an honest review on social media I was then offered a measly $15pp refund (which even then they short changed me on). It’s a real shame that the management weren’t interested in sufficiently offering reimbursement or anything which showed a gesture of goodwill. Once they have your money they’re not really interested. Such a shame as the rest of the cruise was great but I certainly won’t be recommending this to anybody.

Review Body: I gotta give a shout-out to Bobby was the hero of my trip. I'm so happy to be able to write this review for my experience. Bobby was an awesome guy, he was super quick to save my phone my life when it was falling off my pocket, I was just losing the beat of my heart for a minute till bobby said "I got you". Oasis Bay team did an amazing job to look after us while on the ship, we felt so much home and welcomed when we were arriving at the boat from the shore, people were waving and smiling at us. Corly Patrick were our host and they were great at ttheir job, Bobby was knowledable, clever and very very very friendly, he was for sure a good mate to hang out with. we paid around 209$ each for 3 days 2 night (one night on boat and one night on the private island), we think we receied more than what we paid hoestly during the trip we had so much fun and we are thankful for that.I would love to bring more friends here next time to party like hell. It would be a shame if I don't mention anything about Halong Bay, it's absolutely a beautiful place where dotted by thousands of rocky islands and islets. The bay is unique and not like any other place I have seen both on TV or in person. you must visit this place sometime. The highlight of this trip is literally the island, we were so pleased to watch the movie Skull island at outdoor cinema, imagine how cool and amazing it is when you're watching the movie at the place it was filmed?? Just amazing. Lastly thank Oasis for organizing this trip so well.

Review Body: I had the best time doing the two nights and three days with the Oasis Boat Cruise. The tour began with being picked up from our hostel, where we were greeted by our enthusiastic tour guide, Crazy K. The boat was clean and accommodating with spacious rooms. Oasis offered the perfect mix of both partying with drinking games and the dance floor to being able to relax in the spa or watch the sunset on the roof top. Crazy K and Stu made sure that everyone was involved and have the best time. Shortly after arriving on the boat we went Kayaking through Halong bay with Crazy K who was knowledgeable on the bay and the history. After kayaking we returned to the boat to swim, drink and do beer Yoga. I would highly recommend to everyone to pay the money and do the two nights, one on the boat and one on a private island. I thought it couldn’t get any better then the night on the boat but I was shortly proven wrong when we arrived at the private island, where we were given the freedom to relax and do what we wanted, with the option to kayak, stand up paddle board, lay on the beach, swim and soak up the beauty of Halong Bay all with great company. Stu put on a beach volleyball competition which got everyone involved and having a good time. Night time on the island involved, candle light dinner on the beach, followed by a movie and drinking games late into the night. Overall I had an unforgettable time doing Halong Bay with Oasis and would recommend it to anyone.

Review Body: I went on the Oasis Party Cruise and it was amazing!!! Would definitely recommend it. If you are expecting to party hard, then this is not the cruise for you! The cruise has people of all age and a more fun spirit then the classic cruise. I did the 3 days and 2 nights cruise which for the price is really worth it. The guide/host, Jonny, was a upper nice guy, always with smile on his face and ready to help. He made sure every activities were done on time and has Vietnamese, he made sure everyone from the staff understood us. The staff is also super friendly, although they do not speak English that well, at the end is not really needed, we all understood each other! The rooms on the boat are like a hotel, with their own balcony (and amazing view). On the first day there are more activities and party time, and the second time is mostly to chill and enjoy free time at a private island. The food served is also very good and they take in consideration all diets and allergies. The schedule is a bit tight (waking up very early every day). I had an amazing time and lots and of fun!

Review Body: Just had an incredible two nights stay on the oasis party boat. Our tour guide Bazza was very helpful, knowledgeable and good fun! The first day and night is based on the party boat, with all inclusive food, kayaking, evening entertainment and beer yoga - you only pay for drinks which are approx 30,000 dong for a beer (£1) or cocktails which are 100,000 dong. Three massive jacuzzis and a team dedicated to making your time amazing. We then travelled to Freedom Island for one day and night where we recovered from our hangovers by spending a day relaxing in hammocks in the beach, playing pool and swimming in the sea on the idyllic private island. Would 100% recommend to a friend - such an amazing trip!

Review Body: Cruise in Ha Long Bay was absolutely beautiful. One of the best spots in the world. Our guide Crazy K made it unforgettable. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything and his energy was top notch the entire trip so that we were never complacent and always in great spirits. He was always readily available to help. I’d recommend doing the 2 night cruise so that you can stay on the private island. It’s definitely worth it. The activities on the island are great and the views are second to none. The boat brought out a great group of people and the cruise was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam. Book it and when you’re there buy Crazy K a shot for me. -Brandon W

Review Body: Firstly I’ve got to give a big shout out to Harvey/Pinky! He was extremely helpful/funny and kept a great and welcoming atmosphere. Can’t thank him enough for being such a legend! We decided to book on this cruise with a travel agent but booked with no knowledge of what we were truly getting ourselves into. It was the best New Year’s we’ve ever had. The boat lived up to way higher than our expectations. It was luxurious , clean and entertaining! Freedom island on the second day was idyllic and felt so grateful to have been there and experienced it even with the slightly overcast weather. Book with Oasis Bay!!!

Review Body: I went for the 3 days 2 nights Ha Long Bay trip with Oasis. Crazy Johnny was our host and we couldn't be happier. Johnny was always wiling to go the extra mile and ensured that all the guests were having an amazing time. This cruise was definitely the highlight of my stay in Vietnam. Swimming, kayaking, beer yoga, drinking games, dancing, karaoke and more. I would strongly recommend staying the extra night on Freedom Island. You'll have the time of your life out there. Thanks Oasis and Team! You guys are the best!!

Review Body: We did this trip as 2 couples and had a fab time on board! The boat is amazing with all three levels having jacuzzis. There was also a dance floor up in the main bar and the food was amazing. We did the 3 days and 2 nights trip so got to spend time on the island and we were lucky enough to have it to only 4 of us instead of the 60 that it can be. Our host Crazy K looked after us well and taught us some great games to play, also very knowledgable on the kayaking trip - would definitely recommend this to others!

Review Body: The cruise was really well priced and the ship and staff on board really accommodating. Would highly recommend doing Freedom Island as this was the highlight of the trip for me. To add to this experience, our two main hosts Crazy K and Patrick were amazing and made the trip extra special. Food was really good and drinking games super fun. Crazy K had me laughing the entire trip. He is a really funny guy with an amazing sense of humour to entertain his guests.

Review Body: Amazing experience. I personally preferred the day on Freedom Island because there was no schedule. That said both days were absolutely wild and our guides Crazy K (on the cruise and on the island) and Stu ( on the cruise) had a lot to do with making it that way! Crazy K in particular was the life of the party and taught us a bunch of new games that are definitely the only drinking games I'll play from now on!

Review Body: This cruise was amazing! Although it is a party boat you have enough areas to relax. I really would recommend two nights, because the stay on the island just was stunning! The staff is great! And Barry - our cruise host - made us feel so comfortable all the time, telling us things about tradition and history in Vietnam, showing us around and by being very helpful! Thank you!!

Review Body: Everything was great. The ship, activities, bars, hot tubs, and freedom island made for an amazing 3 days. What really set this cruise apart is the tour guide, Crazy K. CK really went above and beyond to deliver the best possible experience he could. He is a wholesome guy and made a genuine connection with our group. I would highly recommend booking this cruise with CK.

Review Body: Initially booked a 2D1N cruise, but loved the experience so much that I booked an extra night the morning after. Crazy K ( the best local guide I had in Vietnam) and Patrick went above and beyond to ensure that our time spent on the island and boat was the best time we have ever had. I would definitely recommend this to others and is worth every dollar.

Review Body: Had fabulous hosts, Crazy K and Pat! They made us feel comfortable, welcome and included from the moment we walked on the cruise. Highly recommend staying for 2 nights because the private island is a completely unique experience that you can’t really find anywhere else for this price tag and in my opinion it was even better than the first night.
