We’re a family of 4. This wasn’t our first time in Vietnam, but it was definitely the best experience ever. My kids said they loved being here (probably just because they wanted to stay in the sea longer, haha). Anyway, we had the best time here. Totally deserves 5 stars, highly recommended!
10/10, period! I love being here. Now I understand why everyone loves Vietnam, the people, the service, the food, everything just blew my mind! I love the energy when everyone dances together. Halong Bay is so beautiful. I wish I could go back (if I have money, haha). Anyway, thanks to Asia Tour Deals for the amazing recommendation!
I came here with my husband and our youngest son. I’ll come back next time with my whole family and try a day cruise this summer (our 2 older sons already have their own families). I completely enjoyed the night, Vietnam is so beautiful! The service was thoughtful and detailed, and we had so much fun.
Good food. Great service. Kayaking and exploring the caves was really fun! This was my first trip with my girlfriend in Vietnam, and she absolutely loved it. The views were stunning, the staff was super friendly, and everything went smoothly. We’ll definitely come back again!
I’ve been here with my two besties. We spent three days in Hanoi and decided to wrap up the trip with dinner on a cruise. I just googled and picked one that fit our schedule and omg i didn’t expect it to go beyond my expectations. The food, the view, the live music, and the people were all amazing. The three of us absolutely loved it.
I celebrated my 2nd anniversary with my wife on Iris Cruise, and she totally loved it! Big thanks to Asia Tour Deals for helping me plan this trip. It was actually my first time in Halong Bay, so I couldn’t decide which is more beautiful, I mean the view in the morning or at night. But honestly, our night experience was amazing. Everything was just so beautiful!
Beautiful views, delicious food, good takecare, interesting itinerary, it’s worth every penny. Sung Sot Caves made my jaw drop. From the service to the food, everything is wonderful. I will definitely come back again!
We’ve been in Vietnam for work and decided to book a cruise to celebrate a new project. Such good vibes, amazing food, and very kind service. Thanks for making our day so special. I really love Vietnamese cuisine!
Big thanks to Asia Tour Deals for recommending this tour to me! I was traveling alone in Vietnam and wanted to try something different, so I booked a cruise. Honestly, I didn’t expect much, but it turned out amazing. The food, experiences, views, are totally worth it.

Leo Wilson,
AustraliaI booked this trip for my wife’s birthday because she wanted a relaxing retreat. I contacted Asia Tour Deals and was really satisfied with their travel advice. My wife was so happy throughout the trip, and I would definitely come back to Halong again next year. Huge thanks to Asia Tour Deals!
