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.

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!

Large and comfy boat tour. Overall good experience. Boat is very large, modern and comfortable with many viewing decks. You get allocated a table for the day. This is where you have lunch and can base your stuff. The lunch was amazing with so many buffet options. Check in at the terminal was easy and plenty of crew on board to look after you. We stopped at the caves and a small beach as well as an internal lake accessed via a large cave.
Ha long Bay was pretty, but it seemed all the boats are in a hurry to rush you through the caves and other sights and unfortunately the weather was very hazy and polluted while there limiting distant views.

Prompt and excellent customer svs.
I booked my trip w A21 and had to cancel it due to some medical conditions. In the midst of my handling all these medical issues, Michael was prompt in his replies and rendered one of the best customer svs that I had encountered thus far. I might have missed this trip, but with this experience, I'm sure , God willing, I will come back to this company:)

The atmosphere, ambience and food were excellent. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We started late due to bad weather but a memorable experience as we visited 'Surprise cave' the largest cave in Halong bay. It is a worth visiting place to see the natural phenomenon and to become awestruck. We has also enjoyed live music with dance in the returning journey to Halong bay. Very Good memories to remember for life time....
We are vegetarian Indian. The cruise offered us vegetarian Indian food: roti, panneer, dal and rice with other side dishes. There were many vegetarian options to choose and we enjoyed it overall. But on the food counter of vegetarian dishes, they also placed some sea food and chicken dishes , which created a little bit chaos for strict vegetarians. If they can have separate counter with tag "vegetarian" with only vegetarian dishes , it will add more to the experience. Overall experience was very good.

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.

Helpful go-to company. Booking through A21 was super convenient and easy - they were also very responsive at communication with us so we felt confident in our plans. We also found ourselves needing transportation last minute after arriving in Vietnam- being able to hop on WiFi and contact them through WhatsApp was easy and they were able to arrange something for our needs.

Halong Bay is vast and picturesque. The highlight was Dong Thien Cung. The size and formations within the cave were dramatic. Luckily most ot the bus ride from Hanoi is on a freeway, but even with that the bus ride took 2.5 - 3.0 hours one way

Great day out in Hanoi.
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.

We used A21Tours for our honeymoon transfer, and the experience was flawless! The limousine was luxurious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. A special thanks to Phuong for her fantastic organization—everything ran smoothly, and she made sure we were well taken care of. Highly recommend their service for anyone looking for a stress-free, premium experience!

Outstanding, Quick and very well priced. 10/10
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.

Reliable company. Great personal contact via WhatsApp in proper English. The company did everything to help and support us.
The ride was a bit bumpy. The driver drove really fast and sometimes even reckless. It was raining really bad that night, so we didn’t always feel safe. We arrived 2 hours early, which proves how fast the driver was going.
