        Highlight of our Honeymoon
        Our day trip to Ha Long Bay was a highlight of our honeymoon! Everything from start to finish was flawless. Ms. Luong was wonderful about communicating with me right after booking and ensuring we had a special experience. The views were unbelievable, the staff were so hospitable, the food and drinks were delicious, and it was a great mix of activities and relaxation. We could not recommend this cruise with Jade Sails highly enough!

        Best company to travel with specially for foreign travelers
        We loved the thrill and adventure of ladakh with the services of Devils on Wheelz. Me and my group enjoyed a lot as devils on wheelz team took care of us like a family. We had girls riders as well with us and we were scared a bit as we were going to highest passes and specially to hanle- umling la... the altitude was so high that scare anyone. But with devils on wheelz experienced team we did the trip so smoothly without any hurdel. Thank you team Devils on Wheels for such a thrilling memory. Coming soon for another experience of suru valley in 2025. Thanks CIO

        A Superb Day
        A superb one day experience. You can see it all and do it all with this cruise. You don't need longer. The crew were fantastic; 100% giving in every way. The boat is luxury. The buffet lunch was delicious. The cost of additional drinks was reasonable. From my passport they picked up that it was my birthday so they gave a cake and a bouquet of roses.

        Remarkable location with lots to do.
        The ninh Binh hills day tour was well organized. Our tour guide, Mr Been knows his stuff, along with a great sense of humor. This place has got to be seen to be believed.

        The cruise was wonderful, but the transport from Hanoi to the dock was not
        The Jade Sails ship is new and modern. The buffet lunch was good. Because we don't eat seafood, the chef prepared a few special dishes for us. There were many other options on the buffet that we really enjoyed, including the Bun Cha on the second floor deck. The included activities were good. We enjoyed the cooking demo and the boat ride to the caves. The two women's toilets were often clogged, so needs improvement. What the Jade Sails company desperately needs to do is buy new transport vans for the long drive to and from Hanoi, or else not to fill them with over five people so that no one has to sit in the back row of seats. There are two rows of two captain seats each, which are probably very comfortable. Then there is a back bench row with three seats that are cramped and extremely bumpy, to the point where our backs hurt. Guests on other vans who sat in the back seat had the same problem. On the way back, we discovered that one back seat had a massage feature, but it was not pleasant. So did another one but it was not working.

        Family friendly and flexible walking tour
        We had Phong (Windy) as our guide for the half day walking tour of Hanoi. We were travelling with children (ages 11 & 13) and I specifically picked this tour as it looked the most family friendly. Windy met us at our hotel and was so accomodating and flexible allowing us to use our free welcome drink at the famous egg coffee place and ensuring we saw the train street and train passing by. He was very knowledgeable sharing descriptive and interesting insights of Hanoi which the whole family thoroughly enjoyed.

        Beautiful, relaxing experience in the Bay
        This was a wonderful experience with excellent service, food and views. I especially appreciated how relaxing it was - no rush, friendly staff and well-organized activities. They provided great vegetarian food and took good care of me as a solo traveller. Recommend!

        The best day in Vietnam (despite the rain!)
        So glad I did research and booked Jade Sails for a 1 day cruise to Ha Long Bay recently from Hanoi. Everything about this day was brilliant thanks to the incredible team (Vinny, Jenni etc). It is a long day, but a good one. The pickup was on time and very much a luxury small bus with added touches (water, wifi etc). Tea is offered on arrival to the marina, with boarding shortly after. There was only 17 on our boat on this particular day with pretty heavy rain on and off. None the less, there was lots to see and learn. Vinny provided a great overview of the day, and answered questions throughout the day. The lunch provided was good and thank you to the team for catering to my last minute request brilliantly. The cave tour and kayaking were fun, and the cooking demonstration capped off a great day. Due to the rain we were running early and skipped the full afternoon sunset party but I dont think that dampened the day in any way. Transport back was efficient. I was a bit hesitant booking just a day trip for Ha Long Bay, thinking it would be hard to fit a good experience in (as opposed to overnight), but SO glad i got a wonderful experience thanks to Jade Sails cruise. Highly recommend!

        Jade 7 Star Halong Bay Cruise
        We're thrilled to hear about our fantastic experience with Jade Cruise! From the seamless hotel pickup to the warm petal shower welcome, it sounds like every detail was meticulously arranged. Vinny's expertise and friendly approach as a guide added a special touch to our journey, making us feel like part of the family. It's great to know that our vegetarian food request was not only accommodated but served with excellence. The diverse activities, from cave boat sailing to kayaking and swimming, seem like they provided a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Halong Bay's beauty with its 2321 Islands was a breathtaking sight! Our recommendation and enthusiastic praise make it clear that Jade Cruise truly stands out as the best in Halong Bay. Cheers to a wonderful experience, and a special thank you to Vinny for contributing to our memorable journey! 🚢❤️

        Honest review
        Overall we enjoyed the experience, however it's a very long day (around 12 hours+) when the highlights of the trip only take a few hours. The highlights would be ninh binh and the kayaking around the caves, the other things added in were just fillers which make the day longer than it has to be, lunch was average, a good selection but cold and dry, we skipped the cycling at the sun was scorching and humid so we couldn't do it after being in the sun for two hours on the kayak, our guide spoke relatively okay English, a slow quiet tone which was hard to hear/folloe

        Worst customer service I've ever experienced on any tour on any continent!
        I have never returned from a pleasure tour and cried! We had the worst experience and I would never recommend this company. I only gave them 2 stars because the boat was very nice and the lunch was good, but the problem came in when we ordered wine for their 2 for one happy hour. Upon asking for our second glass (two for one) the waitress states that wine isn't on the special and that was a mistake. The manager came by and made it such a scene, the entire wait staff was yelling at one another at the bar and the other passengers were staring at us! How embarassing! I told the manager that since it was such a problem (even though it was their mistake), we no longer wanted the second glasses of the 2 for one. At the end of the cruise in retaliation, we were told that we had to pay cash for our tab, but others were paying with a card! (I have pictures of others paying with cards as proof). I am insulted and would never recommend this unprofessional company!

        A valuable tour
        An educated & good experience tour ! We had a lot of fun ! I would recommend anyone to get tour when you are in Hà Nội. They pick and drop you off at your hotel or home stay.

        Luxury Ha Long day cruise if short on time
        Wonderful experience! Tour guide was very hospitable and entertaining - drive to Ha Ling was very comfortable, we can’t fault it. The food, drinks were very good and we enjoyed the cooking lessons (spring rolls) Highly recommend Jade Sails for the luxury, slightly more expensive both worth it. The boat ride was good and had the chance to kayak. Although extremely hot, we had fun and they timed the activities well. Good sight seeing + photo opportunities . If you are short on time and want to squeeze a day trip to Ha Long from Hanoi, I would definitely recommend this cruise.

        Day trip to Halong Bay
        We had a great time in this tour. We were traveling with a 2 years old baby and the crew supported us in everything. The views are increible and the food was good! We did the boats into the cave and we spent some time in the jaccuzzi while others went kayaking. The boat is almost new so its in excellent conditions. Thanks to the Jade Sail team for the awesome day we had.
