Situated between Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay, Halong Bay forms the center of The Halong UNESSCO world heritage site. Opposite to the more peaceful carm of its two sisters, Halong is often refered to as the " Colorful bustling beauty" due to the tourism industry quickly developing in the area. The bay, therefore, offers tourists with a wide variety of tourism facilaties including grand cruise ships, 5star hotels, high-end restaurants and so on. But that doesn't necessary mean Halong has lost its grateful charm. The beauty of Halong is preserved in thousands of uninhabited islands such as Titov and Bo Hon or grand caves such as Surprise cave or Luon cave. Also, contrast to the luxury of glamorous ships and hotels, small fishing villages full of life can still be found at bigger islands scattered around the bay. Go on a cruise ship and enjoy the panoramic beauty of the bay. You will never regret about it. Also, don't forget to take part in aquatic sports often offered by the cruise tour insluding kayak trips to islands and caves or volleyball matches on the beach. Life of the locals on floating houses in fishing villages is worth you a try, too.

Review on A21 Tours
The communication between A21 and me was outstanding. Before, during and after pickup and drop off. Everything was clear and the response time was unbelievably quick. I should mention the price is always slightly lower than the service provided by the cruise ships. I have used A21 twice and it’s a 10/10 for me.

A21 took us from Halong Bay to Hanoi for a day trip. Communication prior to the booking was excellent.We changed our drop off points with no problems.Drivers were courteous and bang on time each way.Luxury vip seats were worth the extra couple of dollars. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Maia cruise
Tony is a good guide, he knows how to take care of everyone and remembers everyone’s face. Constantly having small talks in between to keep us entertained. He gives his best in explaining the history and also talks about the interesting love story between the hen and rooster.The buffet has variety of food which is amazing but vegetarian options only had 4 dishes (dry noodles, tofu, spring rolls, mushrooms).
Would be great if the cruise includes complementary mineral water for bus and cruise ride. Bus is 3 hours ride very big comfortable chairs but it does not recline. Overall the experience is okay for first time goers.

Maia Cruise gives you the best at Ha Long bay
Great tour from the very first moment we stepped on board to the return to harbour after brilliant tour along Ha Long bay and amazing sunset. The crew is very friendly and supportive. Top deck with small open pool was our location during entire cruise. Selection of food was above the expectations. Very tasty, by the way. The views just superb!The boat looked pretty new. Clean and with all you need during the cruise.
Highly recommended!
