We traveled with our teenage son and booked the Daiichi Boutique Cruise via WhatsApp with Huong. I was looking at different cruises online and came across her phone number and sent a message to ask a question. From start to finish she was fantastic, quick to reply, friendly, great communication and even sent follow up messages after to check it all went well. After the cruise she helped us get to our next destination and we decided to book our airport transfer with her too simply because she was reliable. I cannot recommend her enough.
The cruise was very nice, small with very few guests. Kayaking to remote beaches in the Karst landscape was a highlight, one of the islands had a surprise we will never forget. Then a gentle bike ride to a Vietnamese village was really pretty. The lunches were very nice on board the cruise, the one evening meal we had wasn’t great because most of it was deep fried, no-one onboard the cruise enjoyed it but we weren’t left hungry. They cater well for dietary requirements we have gluten and peanut allergy and I’m vegetarian so we are “that annoying family” but it didn’t phase them at all. Breakfast had egg and fruit, so that worked for everyone.
It was clear that they were just returning from covid and it’s winter so there was nothing to do after dinner, they promised squid fishing and karaoke but had no bait for the squid and no karaoke. We were ok with that. Only criticism was that the drinks are over double the cost of anywhere else in Vietnam and as such very few people bought a drink.
I would highly recommend this cruise. I would also highly recommend Huong for being so helpful and making our trip so much easier.
Thank you! I wish you all a very successful 2024.

Our family enjoyed this tour, the boat was beautiful, scenery amazing. We loved the bike ride through the local village and mountains.
Tony the guide was friendly, helpful and informative.
A very good cruise in an impressive landscape. This was magical. We spent 1 night on the boat. Very cozy, beautiful woody room, comfortable bed, air conditioner, shower and toilets. The english guide is helpful, as all the crew. Kayaking and swimming in the bay was amazing. We also visited a village, Viet Hai, had a walk with a guide in the national park, and saw a fish farm.
We had a rainy weather, but it was still magical and comfy. We ate well : sea food, hot pot… it was delicious. A bit too much of fresh chili for my fragile stomach, but it’s possible to avoid it, as there are several plates you pick in. It’s also possible to tell the crew if you have a special diet.

Séjour de deux jours et une nuit. Le rythme est chronométré. Nous avons vu des paysages époustouflants, avec peu de bateaux autour. La jonque est très propre, les cabines tres confortables, les repas variés et tres biens préparés. Dès la montée sur la jonque, le personnel est aux petits soins.
Drake est un formidable chef de cabine et guide!

The boat wasn’t too big and it was very nice as it didn’t feel like being on top of each other. The boat was really beautiful, the staff very attentive. We really ate very well. The beds were comfortable with a very nice view of the landscape. We kayak with two kids, even though it was in the rain, it was really great. Same for bike. The guide was always there to help us. The bike ride was beautiful. We had the advantage of doing it in January and there were not many people. The organization on departure and arrival. There is always someone who takes care to guide us

Magnifique croisière de 1 nuits et 2 jours pour découvrir la baie. Nous avons adoré ce séjour. Paysages époustouflants, très jolie jonque, chambre très propre et très joliment décorée. De la chambre on a une vue magnifique de la baie. Les repas sont variés et très bons. Les activités sont diverses et intéressantes. Le personnel est au petit soin (merci à Toni et à notre second guide pour les tours proposés). Toute la famille a été ravie de ce séjour
