boat trip in HaLong Bay

Hi all,

i have checked the forums and i saw that tropical sails is good tour company in halong bay.
However, they were fully booked and they suggest another company - http://www.cruisehalong.com/index.html</a><BR><BR>any comment on this company or i should go for others? if others, could you please suggest which one?

Thanks very much :)

regards,

Find post #98 in FAQ Vietnam, there is a link to the thread with good recommendations for Ha Long bay tours made by TTers.

thanks. i checked the buffalo website, but doesnt seem that they are providing 2days 1night trip to Halong Bay :(

Hi, i choose 3 times a boat trip to halong bay and my favorite company it was columbus travel.
Email:columbustravel@vnn.vn Why? Good explanation in the office, experienced tour guide
and an own luxury junk with well prepared food. It is not easy to find serious tour operators, but
i,ve got the tip from another traveller as well. Try it and you can see the difference. Migo

You can take Baitho Junk, good food, helpful staff, nice airy cabin with AC all the time, not like the others, so called "deluxe Junk", just the skin deep. You will surely have great time with Baitho

thanks all.
i have already applied for saigon cafe travel recommeded by travelfish already :)

anybody else has travelled with this agency?

we went with Kangaroo Cafe - some US$67 pp for overnight on junk - 8 people. Accommodation was very comfortable and clean; the boat crew really went to a lot of trouble - the small touches like beautifully set table, perfumed hand towels, wine glasses (even though you'd stay clear of Dalat Red!). The boat was great - we had a fantastic time - a real highlight of our trip.

Did Sapa 2 nights with Kangaroo too - again they were great and very professional - couldn't fault them.
