It was great! Staff were wonderful, especially Monica!

As we were on the boat for only 24 hours, we felt a little rushed between activities as they tried to cram a lot into the time we had. We also felt we spent a lot of time eating and didn’t need that much food, would rather be outside on the sundeck enjoying the view!

Great option for one night in Ha Long Bay. We were really lucky with the weather and had minimal clouds and sunshine. Tea out cruise manager was very friendly and informative about the bays and the sites we went too. Bed was very comfortable and the own private balcony let us enjoy the stargazing privately.

We were upgraded to a front cabin. The food and service were fantastic It's a really brilliant memory to have The time goes by very quickly as there are activities.

WiFi issues, but this is due to remote location of ha long bay and would be the same with any company

Small boat = quiet and bhaya can overnight in a quiet bay away from large karioke boats

The staff were so incredibly friendly. We had a lovely cruise.

Water pressure was low in cabin for shower but that I would say was to do with the face that we were on a cruise

First time on a cruise for a group of 4 excellent facilities

Needed a little updating

Property was good and clean.

The boat was incredible however the garbage around Ha Long bay was a shock. The Vietnamese government need to sort this out

Fantastic boat. Amazing staff especially Tom who was amazing (as were the waiter, chef and captain on our boat)

We didn't have the best weather (can't be helped), and the water in Halong Bay isn't the cleanest (not the fault the company at all). In hindsight, I think a 2 night cruise would be less of a rush.

The food was the highlight. We were fed so much delicious food it was amazing. Especially the two breakfasts on day 2! The staff were incredible and the rooms large and very comfortable. The tai chi on the 2nd day I also loved. We were on the 3 berth boat and it felt very private like we were on below deck! The pick up and drop off from Hanoi was really well organised too. Would definitely recommend this company.

If I have to be picky I would point out some of the dishes in the lunch and dinner with zero salt which was a bit of a pity considering the ingredients were quite good and it could easily be tastier.

In Bhaya Classic 3 all rooms have a little balcony which was great. Cabins have a nice decoration and are quite comfortable. The activities schedule is smooth, not too rushed. The beach spot is really beautiful and was very quiet while we were there, allowing us to really enjoy the beauty of Halong Bay. Bhaya runs a smooth operation, it feels good and not like a tourist trap, recommended!

A few more hooks to hang towels etc would make a big difference.

Our boat was a restored wooden boat. Lots of character and charm. The cabin was very compact and not much room to spread out. But you don’t spend a lot of time in your cabin

Amazing, luxury comfort without losing Vietnamese charm.

Staff excellent, food good, location beautiful

A lot of the time is spent in the bay instead of exploring the surrounding (2 hours sailing day one, and 2 hours more for the way back)

Very good service.

Everything was great!

Although the vessel was probably old and a little worn, the bedrooms were large & comfortable, modern bathrooms & crisp white sheets & towels.

Chose Bhaya through booking.com as it seemed to do all activities. When we arrived we were allocated to a vessel for just 6 passengers. We were looked after like Royalty by cruise manager Nguyen, with the food of exceptionally high standard.

Nothing, it was better than expected but not sure I would have felt the same if it had been full!

Boat was nicer than expected after being “ upgraded “ to a bigger one than booked. Room had balcony and was very comfortable. Low occupancy meant boat quiet.

We did the 2-night cruise, a great option as we got the best itinerary and plenty of time for activities and relaxing. The boat has a great dining room and outdoor areas, the rooms were comfy and clean and with everything working. Food and service were excellent for all meals. The staff were amazing and helpful at all times creating a great atmosphere. Activities - lots of kayaking, beach time, trips to caves, floating village and a pearl farm, a cooking class and pre-breakfast Tai chi - all very enjoyable. Bhaya also arranged the return transport to Hanoi which was great value compared tonself- transfer. Location - spectacular Halong Bay. Summary - a perfect long weekend

Honestly there was nothing about the stay I disliked. One of the best experiences I’ve had.

So relaxing with absolutely amazing staff. The activities were so enjoyable and the rooms were amazing!! Cannot recommend more.

The down side was food, we had special meal ( vegetarian jain meal) the lunch was good but dinner was really let down it was repetitive of lunch. Also there was a ceremony conducted by the staff during dinner which they prepare something for each table, for which or table was left out.Just because we had special meal we were made to feel we were not inclusive of the dinner. Considering we paid so much for the cruise and having felt differentiated and left out was clearly not what we were expecting.

The views of Halong bay are breathtaking. The staff was very friendly and welcoming.

They sell 2D / 1N when in reality is less than 24hours cruise, cruise starts at 12 noon and ends at 10am the next day…. Limited on activities (only 2) and you stay in one place only for the whole “cruise”. Everything seems rushed… Personally I would say it is “scammy” as it is not really a 2D/1N cruise….

Staff very friendly Facilities Food Attentive support during activities

Stayed in December 2024

Not worth the money at all, total rip off. Our room also reeked like sewage They even had us fill out a guest review in front of them, then read thru it while we sat with them and made us feel bad for giving poor reviews on some of the stuff. The staff worked really hard and all have to sleep together in one tiny room..they deserve better.

It was not what we originally booked. We have got an upgrade to one of the suits on the Auco Cruise Ship. It was not what we originally wanted, but as Beccy the manager stated, the smaller boats couldn’t go out because of the rough weather. While on our way, we have come across our originally booked boat multiple times. While we had a good time on the cruise, I am not happy with managers lying.

Die Cruise war schön und das Essen war sehr gut! Die Aktivitäten waren zum Großteil auch sehr schön!
