I had a good trip with Dragon Bay Cruise. Despited of being a solo travelers, it’s never less fun on board. Trung, the tour guide was excellent with his humor!

Our guide, Tom, and the rest of the ship staff were so helpful and friendly. You will love Lan Ha bay because it is quiet and has beautiful scenery.

Nice trip and crew. We went on a trip through the bay and had the chance to swim and boat. River, the tour guide, was friendly and excited about the trip. The food was good, but it could have been a little more traditional Vietnamese.
