1.Halong Pandora 5 Star Cruise 2D1N-All Inclusive, cave, transfer

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 796 reviews · from $160Our pick

Spend one night aboard a Halong Pandora cruise from Hanoi, with round-trip bus transport, a private ocean-view balcony cabin, meals, cave visits, kayaking, cooking, Tai Chi, and squid fishing. The route includes Lan Ha Bay and Halong Bay. Guides such as Lee, Tao, Kevin, Cody, and Peter have led departures, though the boat may change.

“Cody was an excellent tour guide who helped us with everything and went above & beyond, to ensure our trip was memorable. Our first cruise and our first international trip with our daughter couldn't have been much better. The entire staff of La Pandora were excellent and I will wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Indians who are vegetarians or only eat chicken - there is still a lot of options for you. Ensure you communicate your dietary preferences early - but please don't expect Indian food onboard. They can only help you so much :)”

Although conditions weren't right to see the aurora lights he still tried to see if there was a chance even though another couple complained about him not going out of his way to make this happen as their app said there were viewings. We had a fabulous trip and totally enjoyed ourselves. It was long trip so maybe we should have taken the 3 day instead of the 2.”
