Must do cruise for Halong bay!

This cruise was absolutely amazing! The food and drinks were superb! The 2 nights were so great and we loved the adventure of bike riding into the village. The views of Halong bay are unreal and the slide is sooo fun! What makes this cruise even better is the crew! They are the best! They would remember everyone’s names and wanted us to feel at home.
