"Memorable trip in with Swan Cruise!"

Halong Bay from October 10 to 11, 2019! That was very cool! The views are breathtaking! You find yourself in another world. Kayaking on the bay, were in a cave. For dinner there were unforgettable oysters! Our guide David is very attentive and helpful!

"Bai Tu Long guide Kien"

Great Ha Long Bay tour with Swan Cruise. A small group of 8 people took us directly from the hotel in Hanoi. About 4 hours on the road and we are on the spot in the picturesque bay of Ha Long. We were put on a good ship and miraculously fed. To be honest, I couldn’t even eat everything. Lots of seafood. Guide Kim told us in great detail and comprehensively about the bay, about fishing villages and about Vietnam in general. According to the program, we visited a fishing village and a small cave, as well as a white sand beach. Beautiful views, a great pastime. Recommend.

"Cruise in Halong Bay"

We booked a cruise with an overnight stay with Swan Cruises. Am very satisfied. Our guide Jenny was super nice and helpful, good English, knowledgeable and had a lot of humor. The food is amazing. The tour includes kayaking, a while on the beach, Thai chi, cave visits and a demonstration on how to cut vegetables in Vietnamese. Highly recommend this tour!

"Excellent service"

Had a fantastic day despite some hazy weather and rain. The day offered a good lunch aboard the boat, a boat trip with bamboo boats through their fishing village, visit of a cave and beach and a little teaching how to make your own spring rolls! The lunch consisted of seafood and is exciting to test if you have not eaten crab, octopus or oysters before. Tasted good! The guide Tom Cruise was charming and knowledgeable. Informed clearly and well about the schedule of the day. Good English. He also showed on board the boat how to sculpt a rose in a watermelon. Incredibly talented and cool to watch! Highly recommend Swan Cruise if you are running out of time but want to experience a lot! We booked the day before and there was no problem with places! Pick-up and drop-off outside the hotel in Hanoi.
