Review

The 2-night Halong Bay cruise with Vega Travel was fantastic! It is on a small boat (max 16 guests) which made for an intimate experience, both among the passengers and in terms of sightseeing. The natural beauty of Halong Bay is second to none and on the smaller boat we were able to go to places that the larger boats could not. Our local tour guide was very informative and packed great activities into our time together. The tour was well run, the food was good and the crew was fun loving and accommodating. We also greatly enjoyed the other guests.  The cruise was a highlight of our trip to Vietnam!
