4 of us stayed for 2 nights and 3 days on Halong Bay. The bay was super calm and stunning. The boat was beautiful and nicely decorated. Our room was very clean and spacious. The view from the room was lovely. The program was smooth with plenty of activities. Love kayaking and the cave tour the most.
