Best Day Cruise
We only had one day in Halong Bay, and choosing Bhaya’s 6-hour itinerary of the 1-Day Cruise was one of the best decisions. The views, the floating village, the swimming - it was packed yet still relaxed. If you’re short on time but want something meaningful, this is perfect.

Perfect family trip
As a family with young kids, we appreciated how effortless the Bhaya 1-Day Cruise was. The staff took care of everything, from transfers to meals, so we could simply enjoy the emerald waters and hidden corners of the bay without rushing. Highly recommended if you want a full Halong experience without staying overnight.

Great experience!
We did the 1 day cruise option and was great value. The rooms were lovely and bed really comfy. The food was excellent and service brilliant also. It was entertaining, informative and very professional. Halong bay is the most tranquil place and Bhaya cruises do it very well at an excellent price. Our transfers were spot on and all went smoothly and to plan.

Stunning Scenery & Extraordinary Service
We had a wonderful experience with Bhaya Cruises! I looked into a number of cruise companies for Ha Long Bay, but only Bhaya was able to accomodate our tight schedule and the staff was very professional and responsive with questions. We did a private 1 day cruise and every detail was taken care of for us.
