It is all subject to a schedule, and they can be quite enthusiastic in respecting it and inviting you to participate in everything ... waking you up, insisting that you go to either side. The excursion that we had to the “caverns”, consisted of all above a wooden boat and go under the mountain and return. That's it. We do not go anywhere. There are many mosquitoes bite us, they advise you nothing, that information was missing. Bring repellent! The guide was with us from the beginning of the itinerary, who picked us up at the hotel. His name is ANTHONY. Very good. Personally he took care of managing the transfer to the airport and left me very calm, that kind of effort are worth a lot. 5 stars for the management of the Guide!

The trip great. Only two hours of bus and at all times they have informed you of the schedules that take them very controlled. The new boat and the room great. Very good food and they give you water in all the activities, kayaking, swimming, cave visits ... we did a course of logs that we ate to finish the trip. Toast with wine courtesy of the house to close a perfect cruise. I would repeat with La Paci Cruise without a doubt.

We were recommended to make the cruise with La Paci Cruise through Lan Ha Bay, instead of the much-requested Halong Bay and it was a success. Sailing through its waters is equally spectacular and nothing crowded compared to Halong. Regarding the boat, it is new, clean and the food spectacular and the excursions, very nice and fun. Our guide Amy, was lovely, very attentive and waiting for us to enjoy at all times, and contributed significantly to this tour is one of the best we did in Vietnam. I visited with the group of Minh. Everything was great. After comparing many companies is the best quality-price he gave me. I hired him directly with them, so it came out cheaper.

I gone to Halong Bay with La Paci Cruise with some friends a few days ago and we can't have a better opinion of the boat than this one. Everything was very clean and careful. The bathroom would need some reform to give it a 10. Very good value for money seeing the prices of other boats. We loved the excursions and activities. We did the least tourist part and were delighted. To also mention our guide Sarah, a very close person who made the journey even better than expected. We were very comfortable. On the ship we were a group of only 10 people in which we felt like a family. 100% recommended.

We were picked up by the hotel at 9 in time. From there they took us in a minibus to Ha Long Bay, with a previous stop to go to the bathroom or buy something. The cruise is very nice, rustic and clean. The varied food, in Vietnamese style, before you are asked if you can consume all kinds of food and if you have any preferences. The spacious and clean cabins. Very entertaining activities. We did kayaking and then we swam by the sea. At night there are activities such as karaoke, board games and dancing. The next day we went in some canoes through the caves, we had Vietnamese cooking classes that we could then eat what we prepared. Our guide Ben was super lovely, always present when we need and he told us the history of the place and taught us about the culture of Vietnam. I would definitely choose them again. Thank you La Paci Cruise!
