  Séjour Idyllique sur la Baie de lan Ha

  Le cadre idyllique de la Baie de Lan Ha restera un très bon souvenir pour notre famille. Cody, le guide a été très agréable et nous a apporté beaucoup d’informations pendant cette croisière. Tout le personnel de la Panda Cruise est très attentionné et agréable. Les activités de kayak, cours de cuisine, pêche au calamar, visite d’une grotte et d’une ferme à poissons sont vraiment réussies. Sans oublier les repas qui sont bons et très bien présentés ! Merci pour ce bon moment partagés ensemble et pour cette gentille attention pour notre 24 e anniversaire de mariage

  Nous avons pris le bus d’Hanoi à la Baie de Lan Ha , lors du voyage, il y a eu 2 arrêts donc 1 pour visiter un magasin de perles, nous n’avons pas adhérer à ce concept attrape-touriste.

  Great value for money, unforgettable experience.

  Great value for money, large cabins and comfortable beds. Staff and food service was excellent. Our tour guide Cody Hieu was excellent! Highly recommend you do a tour with him.

  Poor wifi. Hopefully they can improve that though.

  Rooms were spacious and the beds were huge and very comfortable. Good that it was optional to join activities. Food was ok

  The staff seemed a bit grumpy. The driver on the day boat was taking photos of guests in swimmers

  La comida fue muy buena

  El barco tiene poco mantenimiento y en la habitación se escuchaba mucho el ruido del generador durante toda la noche

  If you are looking for a truly relaxing and premium experience, this isn't it

  Lan Ha Bay itself is stunning; the scenery lived up to the reputation and provided a truly beautiful backdrop for the journey. I really enjoyed the kayaking and swimming in the bay The staff was well mannered and attentive

  Logistics & Transport Transit Delays: The journey from the hotel (starting at 7:00 AM) was inefficient. While the midway stop was expected, the second 15-minute stop just before the port felt like an unnecessary "tourist trap." Tender Transfer: Reaching the boat took nearly an hour via a very slow tender. This was repeated on the return leg, making for a tedious start and end to the trip. Accommodation & Facilities Room Size: While the room matched the photos aesthetically, the scale was misleading. It felt cramped for three people; it is strictly better suited for a couple rather than a family with a child. Connectivity: The "out of service area" excuse for the lack of Wi-Fi was frustrated by the fact that staff were simultaneously using mobile data to stream YouTube for karaoke. Vessel Scale: Be aware that this specific boat is significantly smaller than others in the fleet, which limits the onboard atmosphere and amenities. Dining & Service Dietary Requirements: Despite multiple reminders, the staff failed to manage our pre-communicated lunch requirements. Inflexible Scheduling: Dinner was mandated at 7:30 PM with no flexibility. Because the boat is small, the evening atmosphere ended prematurely by 9:30 PM, whereas larger neighboring boats remained lively. Activities & Itinerary Pacing: The schedule felt rushed. Kayaking and swimming were squeezed in shortly after a tiring morning of travel, leaving little time to actually relax. Excursion Quality: The Day 2 visit to the Light Cave was underwhelming. The entire excursion lasted barely an hour and felt "dull" compared to the high expectations set for the bay's highlights. Overall - it may be worth paying the higher rate for a larger operator. The small scale of this cruise resulted in a cramped room, service lapses, and a poor experience overall
