We had a great cruise with very good service and in a gorgeous area of Halong - Bai Tu Long. The transfer from/to Hanoi wasn't great, small minivan with little comfort. The food at the boat was OK, nothing to write ome about. And the cabins were OK. I would recommend this, quality/sprice made sense in my opinion, however, if... More

We stayed on Dragon Pearl 3, for 2 days and 1 night and found it very difficult to fault the whole experience. The transfer from Hanoi was comfortable, however be prepared for the obligatory toilet stop at a handicraft warehouse to see disabled Vietnamese working on mass produced souvenirs. Once on the boat we were very pleasantly surprised at the... More

We made arrangements through our hotel for a Ha Long Bay cruise and were presented with many options. Based on what we wanted (kayaking, 2 nights) we decided to go a little over our planned budget and book with the Dragon's Pearl (we had been backpacking). It was the best decision we made. The service was impeccable, the food delicious,... More

We stayed on the Prince 3, a four cabin boat, for 3 days, 2 nights. I would definitely recommend the 2 night trip if you can afford it and have the time, otherwise, with all the time it takes to get there, you will only have 24 hours on the boat. Despite what the photos look like, all of the... More

During a recent trip to Hanoi, my wife and I decided on a 3-day (2 night) excursion to Halong Bay. My wife did a lot of research in choosing the tour operator and settled on Indochina Junk Tours. We are so glad that we chose this company. I have wanted to travel to Halong Bay for several years, and was... More

Just got back from a splendid 2day/1night cruise on Indochina's Dragon Pearl II. From the pickup to the drop off, this is a top notch operation. Although they operate probably dozens of weekly excursions, at no point did I feel as if was part of an "assembly line" experience. The deluxe cabin was comfortable and quiet, food was great, the...

After a fair bit of research on the different companies that ran junks and overnight trips to Halong Bay we decided on Indochina Junks. I emailed them 3 or 4 weeks before our trip to Vietnam, using contact details I'd found in the forums and on their website - make sure you go to the website that has the hyphen... More

We stayed in the Red Dragon within the first couple of days of our trip to Vietnam and it caused a bit of a problem, it was so perfect that everything else we planned to see or do had a real tough act to follow. The boat itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and very attractive; as we were travelling with... More

Our booking was changed to this boat due to the new legislation that boats must be white causing a reshuffle of guests. The boat was just fantastic - only 2 rooms. We had 5 crew for 4 guests so we were very, very spoilt. The food & service was the best in all of Vietnam (and the service was great... More
