Jadesails- Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay Luxury Cruise

It was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. The crews and service of Jadesails were excellent. The ship that we were on was top notch and clean. Our concern was the public toilet and that was the reason I picked to pay a bit more and made sure that it is clean on the ship with less people on the ship. Jadesails kept their facility clean! The food was wonderful as well, it was served in full course meal, not buffet which I think it is better. You get enough food to fill you up, appetizer, soup/salad, main course, desert. But nothing beat the view, even though we were there when it was cold month of January. Please remember that the drinks on there are sold separately, especially alcohol, but there will be a spot that there is a boat vendor comes, I wanted to help support them, the beers are a bit cheaper that what is sold on the ship and I think that is great that they let you buy from local merchant to help support them as well ( the row boat vendors, they even got snacks, candy bars and chips!). The activity on the ship was fun too. If we have a chance to go back we will use their service again but this time we will try the stay overnight ones. We get to go on the row boat, you can chose to Kayak and swim as well, but it was too cold for us during that time. We will go back in the summer and do the overnight stay on the boat with the same company for sure. The guide guy has pointed it out for us, it was a much bigger ship but also very new. His service was excellent as well. Yes, it is a bit pricier than other ones but it was well worth it, the luxury shuttle van came and picked up and drop you off at your hotel, and less travel time on the road. I think they took like an express highway route even that took couple of hours from what I remember. Even the tour operator that we bought this tour from was very helpful. It was our first time in Vietnam an we sure fell in love with it. The people are friendly, the view and the food was great.

Wonderful experience jadesail is a true beauty ,loved it starting from the ambience to the food......

Excellent trip, we would highly reccomend. The transfer was very swift and luxurious, water provided. The boat was superb as were all the staff, especially Nam. Lovely food, very reasonably priced drinks, good selection of activities. This was great value for a 12 hour full day out run in a very safe and well organised way.

Three of us enjoyed a remarkable journey into HaLong Bay with Jade Sail. The weather was overcast and sprinkling wet but the sheer beauty of the islands and the sincere enthusiasm of the staff helped overcome what could have been a disappointing day. The boat is clean and well maintained. The food was delicious and well presented. The late afternoon roll-your-own spring roll demonstration was fun. Our luxury van trip from our Hanoi hotel to boat and back was roomy and comfortable. I recommend the experience for anyone with only a day to visit this beautiful part of Vietnam.

I booked this tour a day before, leaving it to the last minute because of the horrible weather! And I’m so glad I did, every was excellent! Only thing I wasn’t thrilled about was the back row of the limousine van. These seats don’t recline and you’re 3 people jammed in, while you’re watching the 2 people in full recline. I opted to sit in front seat next to driver, though seat didn’t recline, was more spacious than back cargo area. Once we got on-board at the marina, everything was perfect. Hu our guide was a wonderful host and explained the itinerary and lunch menu right away. I booked solo so was seated in the middle circular couches with another solo traveller! Worried at first because he seemed introverted but once we started talking, we had wonderful conversations! I met so many wonderful people from all over the world. The food was amazing and the accommodated my pescatarian diet perfectly. The afternoon tea was also perfect, corresponding with our cooking lesson of spring rolls that we made and then got to eat. The drinks were a tad expensive for me. An Americano was $6.80 CDN so I ordered the lesser Vietnamese coffee and drinks about $11.10 CDN. Happy Hour is 2 for 1 which brings to the prices I was more used to in Vietnam. The day activities were perfect. We went out on the bamboo boats through the cave and later out onto the kayaks! The floating fishing village was only in passing and we were quite far from them for pictures but really, it is more respectful of their right to privacy. The bathrooms were wonderful, heated seats, showers and beautiful views. The seating areas were great though in the rain they were harder to get. I loved almost everything about this tour. 12 hours sped by so quickly. Highly recommend

Very enjoyable day out in the Halong Bay area, nice luxury boat with lovely cocktails and great food (they catered to my vegetarian wife really well). Excellent tour company were really organised and spoke with me on WhatsApp to confirm everything, we were very impressed and booked our airport transfers with them as well. The dive to and from the boat was fine too (I had heard stories that it could be a bit long and uncomfortable) as we took the main toll roads and the quickest routes. The driver also stopped for a toilet stop on the way back which was a nice touch after our drinks on the boat!

We had a fantastic time on this tour. The facilities, staff, and food were wonderful. I recommend trying to get a sit close to the window so you can see the great views.

Limo driver, boat, staff were outstanding. This boat was hands down one of the nicest boats out there. We will be back and will recommend this cruise line to all of our family and friends.

The luxury mini-van was on time and super comfortable. The ship was also really good. The food was not so great, but acceptable for cruise standards and they were really accommodating of everyone’s dietary restrictions.

Awesome way to tour Ha Long Bay if you‘ve only got a day. The luxury vans are very comfortable and it’s under 2 hours to get to the boat. The boat is very nice and everything was just great overall. Highly recommend for anyone looking to do a day trip.
