AustraliaI joined the Apollo Premium Day Cruise and had a wonderful experience with it when we explore Ha Long Bay last week. The boat was very comfortable and new. It was a day boat without cabin but it has plenty of space to relax. There are both indoorsand outdoor on the sundeck. The boat looks luxury with clean and nice facilities. The crew team was very helpful and friendly. Lan was the manager of the cruise and she guided in all activities. Food on the cruise is very fresh and excellent. Pick-up from our hotel in Hanoi and drop us off to our hotel in Hanoi included in the tour price offered by Vietnam Escape Tours. What I appreciated most was how well the itinerary was organized. In just a few hours, we were able to enjoy sightseeing, kayaking, and even visiting a cave, yet it never felt rushed. Kayaking in Luon Cave and walking in Amazng Cave, visting Titop Island where you can do swimming or hiking to to the top of the mountain is highlight of the cruise itnerary. After that, you can enjoy the sunset party and the scenery of Halong that time is very nice. We loved all the activities on the cruise. I would highly recommend the Apollo Premium Day Cruise for anyone looking for a top-quality day trip.

CanadaOur trip with Apollo Premium Cruise was truly unforgettable and i want to rate this cruise 5 star. The trip was in Sep and we were lucky with good weather. The boat was very clean and staffs on the cruise were very friendly, helpful and attentive espcially Thanh - Our English speaking guide who picked us up from Hanoi. Swimming on Titop island beach was so cool but i chose climbing to the top of the island for a great view of Halong Bay. We the first time did kayaking but it was so much fun. Highlight of the trip is the food on cruise also. There are so many dishes from Vietnamese cuisine to International cuisine. We are vegetarian and we have special care also with special dishes. If you’re planning a visit to Halong Bay, Apollo Premium Cruise is an excellent choice. We left with beautiful memories and would love to come back again soon. Thank you so much for all.

AustraliaWe had a fantastic experience on the Apollo Premium Cruise with my uncle and my mom in Oct. The Apollo fday cruise is modern, comfortable and it has a lovely sundeck to relax and enjoy the views. We really enjoyed kayaking visiting the cave of Luon. I am sure that you will like it if you are a person who like discovery. There is plenty of time to simply take in the stunning scenery of Halong Bay. The food on board was excellent — fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented and my family enjoyed the food on the cruis so much. Thang ( our tour guide on bus and on boat) and other staffs were friendly, attentive. They made sure we had comfortable trip. This day trip includs the pick-up and drop-off from hotel if you stay in Hanoi Old Quarter. The drive from Hanoi to Halong is about 3 hours includes 15 minutes for break along the highway. All in all, Apollo Premium Cruise exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Halong Bay experience. Many thanks to Anya from Vietnam Escape Tours company who adviced me to book this cruise and arrange this cruise for my family with a good deal.

United StatesLast month we had a trip with Apollo Premium Cruise which was truly unforgettable, filled with so many exciting activities. Kayaking through small islands, explore fascinating caves in the clear water of Halong Bay in the afternoon was amazing, my kids loved it so much. If you do not like kayaking on your own you can take part in the trip with sampan boat rowed by local there. On board, there were also cooking classes and a sunset party on the dec. They had a lot of fun. Tung was our guide on tour from Hanoi to Halong and back to Hanoi. He was very friendly and he spoke well English. We learn many things about Halong and Vietnam from him. Every activity was thoughtfully arranged, ensuring safety so we could enjoy our trip so much. Apollo Premium is really nice cruise and staffs on the cruise are friendly also. We booked this cruise through Emma from Vietnam Escape Tours and we had very good support from her. Will come back to the cruise next year maybe with my company.

IndiaAll the arrangements of the transfer from our hotel in Hang Bong, Old Quarter Hanoi to being welcomed in Ha Long Bay was so smooth and professional. We never felt lonely in this trip although we were on boat with almost Vietnamese people because we had Hung (our tour guide). He helped us a lot from explaining the historical importance of Ha Long Bay to the meaningness of each spots, each caves we visited or went through. We had such a wonderful trip here, we love Vietnam so much and promised will comeback as soon as we could. All the staff were so friendly like other locals that we met before, our family with both 80s and children felt very cared about. Thanks for the crew! We don't speak English very well but the guide could also helo with his Mandarin and also English speaking ability, that made us felt so safe and happy, we learnt so many things here from him. And do speak some Vietnamese too. Cam on, i think it's a right way to say thank you. Back to Beijing for 2 weeks and we feel like we miss Vietnam again, we will comeback with our big family again soon for a long journey and hope to have a wonderful trip like this time. Will recommend!

AustraliaNice! I think this Apollo cruise has a very affordable price for everyone who want to explore Halong just in a few hours. Although we couldn't have enough time to do an overnight cruises here but it was enough for us this time, because we could try both kayaking, little trekking, cave visiting,... with a good view from the boat too. Nice food, wine and music on boat, it matched my vibe so much who love embrace the nature with the music. My solo trip became so fulfilled. Thanks Nam for your work and your professional attitude during the whole trip. Also Luca, who guided us well that made the whole trip so amazing. Will definitely recommend it, a good price and also good experience. I'm very happy!

AustraliaMy family made a trip to Halong Bay which is one of the best experience I had in Vietnam. Lots of beautiful scenery, fun activities! The staffs in cruise are very friendly and helpful, many thanks to them. We visited three destinations and each place spent a good amount of time. The trip was planned well and the scenery is spectacular. Really recommend Halong Bay whether for family, friends, or even solo. I highly recommend taking a day cruise like this if you're short on time, but still want to experience the magic of Ha Long Bay.

IndiaMy wife, my son and I travelled to Vietnam in April and we had only 4 days in Hanoi and around so we chose Apollo Halong Cruise for our trip as it is a day tour from Hanoi to Halong Bay. We really wanted to visit Halong Bay for overnight but if we take overnight cruise then we did not have time for other places like Hanoi and Ninh Binh. Luca was our guide on bus and cruise. Luca is an excellent guide, very informative and helpful. The cruise has good food and it is very clean. We did the hiking to Titop Island and had a stunning view from there. Kayaking in Halong o Luon Cave as amazing too. My son loved it so much. Thank you so much and we I recommend Apollo cruise Halong for anyone want to go to Halong for one day. It was a really good cruise.

IndiaIt was an amazing trip in Halong Bay for 1 Day. Booking this tour to Halong Bay with Apollo Premium Cruise. It was recommended by my friends. I booked this cruise with Vietnam Escape Tours and the sales person was Vivian. We have a good price from Vietnam Escape Tours for this day cruise with a promotion. In the evening before the trip started, I received the Whatsapp message from tour guide – Hung for the pick-up time and next day he was on time. All things run smoothly from pick up to the end of the trip. Apollo Premium Cruise was a good cruise with a long itinerary for about 6 hours so we have more time for the bay. Hung was very good guide. He told us a lot of things about Vietnam and Halong Bay from culture to the history. He was amazing and fluence in English. Thank you so much for everything.

SpainApollo Cruise Halong team is great. We had very good time with the cruise. The guide Luca is very friendly, informative and helpful. He spoke well English and good in management for our group. The cruise is clean and food is good. All activities are good. I love kayaking so much and all of my group members did it even some people could not do swimming ( we had life jacket) and we had a lot of fun. Hiking to Titop Island is also incredible as you can get on the top of the mountain and have a view of whole Halong. It is amazing. All cruise staffs are friendly and with smile on face. I recommend this cruise for anyone who do not have much time for an overnight cruise. Tata Nguyen from Vietnam Escape Tours helped me to book Apollo Premium Cruise Halong and she is very helpful also. We have very good price for our big group ( not really big but it is 5 people).

Thank you so much for your question. Apollo Premium Cruise have activities like walking in Sung Sot Cave, kayaking or sampan boat, swimming or hiking to the Titop Mountains. All the activities are optional so you have options to choose. For walking in the Sung Sot (Amazing Cave) there is no options besides walking but it is not too hard so most people can do it. So your parents can consider for about 25-30 minutes walking a bit up and down. For Luon Cave you have options between kayaking and sampan boat rowing by local so it is easy. If you parents do not do kayaking then sampan boat will be the option. For Tiop Island if hiking to the peak is hard then they can do swimming or relax on the beach of Titop. Apollo Premium tour guide will have more advice when our guide meet you.

Thank you so much for your question. Apollo Premium Halong is a day cruise so we will go to Halong Bay, take cruise tour and go back to Hanoi in the same day. That is the reason why the duration for the day trip is long from about 8.00 AM to about 8.30 PM.

You can have option for taking a day cruise in the previous day or you can take an overnight cruise from the previous day then go back to Hanoi on the day you have flight. For overnight cruise, you will arrive at the airport at around 3.30 PM to 4.00 PM so you have enough time for check in your flight.

Thank you so much for chooing Apollo Cruise for your trip to Halong Bay.

You will go to Hanoi Airport after Halong Bay so you may think about a private transfer and the cost is not too high for you. By that way, you will be convinient and you can save your budget.
Thank you so much for your question. The Apollo Cruise is a steel boat but it looks like a junk boat. It is not speedboat. The crusie will go slowly in the bay like a junk boat.
