Compare Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Ha Long or Lan Ha Bay on a busy but scenic 3-day tour with a balcony cabin and transfers.

We also stayed in a hotel, not a bungalow, in Ninh Binh. However, the places were clean, the food was good and we had a great time. No major complaints.”

“My wife and I both had a great time on this tour! We would like to especially shout out our Ninh Binh guide Leo, who did a great job giving us interesting information about a whole range of topics surrounding religion and culture in Vietnam and in keeping the tour on track. Our personal first day highlights were probably the boat trip in Ninh Binh and biking around after we got to hotel to take in the gorgeous scenery. We both also loved the cruise and thought that the food was exceptionally good! The crew on the ship was also great! Our favorite activity was probably kayaking in Halong Bay,…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 12 reviews · from $261

Review of a 3-day Arcady cruise and Ninh Binh tour, with Halong Bay caves, kayaking, Tam Coc, Mua Cave, meals, transport, and value advice.

“Both Ha Long Bay and Tam Coc are impressive. The cruise is really nice, the food and the itinerary were good as well. Bungalow at Tam Coc is nice and close to the main places. In Ha Long Bay you stay just 1 night and 1 day- because you get in at 11am and need to get out at 11 am the next day and actually can’t swim just get a little bit wet, because the area is reaaally small and there is hundreds of people.”

“From start to finish, this 2-day, 1-night cruise was pure perfection. The entire journey was flawlessly organized — from the comfortable transfer from Ninh Binh to the breathtaking sail through Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay. The views of the limestone karsts, hidden caves, and emerald waters were simply unforgettable. The itinerary was perfectly paced — kayaking, swimming, cooking classes, sunset parties, and even squid fishing! The cabin was luxurious with a private bathtub, and the meals were a culinary highlight. Special thanks to Tina, who went above and beyond to make the trip extra special.
