We had a fantastic time on the Ha Long Bay cruise. The excursion was well-planned. Everything from our hotel pickup to the bus trip out to our boat and all of our meals was wonderfully organized. Lee, our tour guide, did a wonderful job showing us around this gorgeous sanctuary. Overall, it was excellent and highly recommended.
