The whole experience was really delightful. The Cruise Manager Mr. Huy and his staff were exceptional and genuinely tried to help us have a great time - and they succeeded. Boat and room were great, food was great, and the itinerary was amazing. If I were to do it again I would choose Bhaya for sure. They also have a private cave and beach area so you can avoid the crowds too. The pace of the activities was great. Really, my family and I had a great time.

I liked everything.

Great facilities onboard & location sailing round Ha Long Bay is incredible. Service levels of staff were exceptional - all spoke great English & really looked after us. The kayaking, floating village & beach excursions were great. Food was also generally very good. Reusable water bottles in each room were a nice touch to avoid plastic. Generally high focus on safety.

A couple of the meals were set menu, with no choice of dishes, one of which was mainly seafood so this could be a challenge. But you can also let them know beforehand & they will adapt the menu to your needs.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Everything! The staff, the cabin, the food ... everything on board was fabulous. Halong Bay was beautiful and the activities/ excursions were terrific. Fantastic value for money. Would definitely book again!

Not brilliant for people challenged with mobility. I stayed on board for one of the excursions due to steep steps which I wouldn't have been able to navigate. On seeing my daughter's photos, I was glad I opted to stay on board!

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!

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.

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

All meals were excellent. In fact, too good, so much to eat!! The staff were wonderful. We were on one of the smaller Legend boats, just 3 cabins. It was perfect. Our host Jackie, was just wonderful and certainly contributed to the great friendly atmosphere on board.

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.

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

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

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