It was actually very cozy tour :) After booking they send a message about proposed transfer from Hanoi to Halong Bay and back. They start from Hanoi old quarter around 8am. Included activities: - stop in pearl museum - biggest cave in the bay - climb tip top and swim after - cooking class (showed how to roll spring rolls) - squid fishing (they give you the stick with the hook. But don't expect catching smth :D) - karaoke - visit pearl farm and kayaking around There was enough time for everything, no rush. Our tour guide Tam spoke good English, so everything was well explained. Food was also amazing. Rooms have showers, hot water, window with good view. Comfortable and clean

Good value for money overall, food was excellent, definitely the best part of the trip. Activities were well organised and the tour guide Timtam was good. Happy hour was a good touch

Shower wasn’t very hot, it was very cold on the boat had to wear multiple layers at all times wasn’t well insulated, I’d say not built for cold weather at all. Cocktails were far too expensive for Vietnam pricing.

Loved the activities, loved the ship, it was a bit compact and old but cozy, and the staff was pretty nice. But the best thing was the food!!!! Hats off to the bartender and the chef and the kitchen staff. Such delicious food!

Cozy Bay is amazing! staff are very helpful, cheerful and accommodating. the cruise is very nice and super clean and the food was amazing. would definitely recommend it and the price is very reasonable compared to other operators as well.

all was good! thank you

This was fantastic value for money. As one of the cheaper cruises, I was a little worried about the quality before boarding. Yes, the rooms, boat and decor could use a little makeover. However, the rooms and bed were very comfortable, bathroom worked perfectly, the food was tasty and plentiful, the activities were great and the staff were amazing. They had great cocktails and a long happy hour. The best part was that I got to experience Ha Long Bay and all of its activities for a fraction of the price of everyone in the boats around us. Do not pick this cruise if you are looking for a luxury experience/treat as the facilities are basic (but all I needed!)… this is the perfect choice to experience Ha Long Bay on a tighter budget.

The karaoke could have been cringe/weird if I had a different group. Luckily my cruise had a great group of people

I joined the cruise by food a 2d1n tour. Tuan the tour guide was amazing! He was so friendly, approachable and knowledgable about Vietnam and Ha Long Bay. His energy made the experience better. The staff on the boat were great and really took care of us. We were given plenty of delicious food and taken to do many activities. It was really good value for money and I would recommend it.

The pickup times were incorrect and my toilet smelt bad.

Ha Long Bay was stunning. The cave was spectacular - all the activities were great. There was huge amounts of food, all of it good. Accommodation for a junk boat was really good. The numbers of tourists were low because of the corona virus which meant it was not so crowded.

We could not pay by card - only cash - which we were not made aware of on Booking.com - in fact they advocated card! All of our cash was wiped out unexpectedly when we arrived and we also ended up using different currencies. Need to be clear if its cash only before arrival. Prices for alcoholic drinks were high - cocktails were very small measures. On the excursions we were not advised that we could buy coffees, refreshments or souvenirs - particularly the pearls - as we all went on trips without cash. It needs to be made clear.

Well educated staff and guide. We got the same scenery as the people that paid a fortune. The facilities were good and clean. Food was abundant.
