An overnight cruise is an unmistakable experience in Ha Long Bay, and the Renea cruise experience did it best. Our tour guide, Hero, was fun, safe, knowledgeable, and was easy to connect with. Thanks to Hero, and all the Renea cruise staff, we had a great two days full of activity and relaxation, from kayaking and squid fishing, to beach trips and cave visits. Our room was quite magical (and had air conditioning luckily!) and to experience Ha Long Bay as you wake up from that kind of luxury really is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The staff exceeded every expectation in their service too so you really feel like a luxurious guest. The final thing to note was the amazing quality of food – the drinks and meals definitely won't leave you feeling empty, and you'll be grateful to have been able to try so many different authentic dishes that all tasted so good.

Super Host (Duc), friendly and funny, creating a good atmosphere. Super Tour, wonderful trip through the bay, very well organised, very flexible if you want to skip some activities. Delicious and plenty of food. Only the boat is pretty old by now. Cabin is clean, but really old by now. Nevertheless I can recommend the trip.

Overall was it a fantastic short trip. Traveling as backpackers and trying to safe money, this cruise was a little out off our budget range, but it was worth it! The stuff is extremely friendly. The activitys were perfect. For a short stay to see a huge cave, swimming, kayaking, cooking etc it was perfectly scheduled. Starting from the organizer who is always able to reach and helping out to the funny and sweet guides. Don is a delight and helpful in every way! We loved the cruise and met fantastic people. The only negative aspect is the runnung motors of the boats the entire night. For the environment and the ocean we hope you get solar panels or find a different solution for electricity during the night. And if you are looking for sponsors we will ask arround! We love the ocean. But in conclusion we had a great time and would do it all over again!
