Cruising in style

The Auco boat is very beautiful and I believe we somehow had the best and biggest room, right at the front of the boat with a big private balcony and lovely furniture (ask for room 217). The shore excursion to Cat Ba island was super, make sure to pick the biking option, not too hard and a real highlight for us. Most of all the crew are truly superb. Food very good, nice Happy Hour and overall it looked like the best boat out there. Highly recommend the Bhaya boat line, and the Auco boat in particular.

Lovely relaxing scenic cruise on Bhaya Legend 1

We had a lovely time on this small boat. We were pleased to be away from the crowds and big boats. Staff were friendly and worked very well as a team. Comfortable bed. Food was good . Squid fishing was successful. Vietnamese coffee was better than normal coffee. Bring a tip for staff as they work hard for very low wages. Also bring tip for activities such as floating village bamboo boat as villagers don’t receive anything from tourism operators only from tipping.

Really special trip on board an amazing boat

5/5 - this was a great trip. The boat and crew were fabulous and our every needed was catered for. Our host Emma was so attentive and made us feel very special. The food on board was fabulous! Our captain Harry was lovely and the whole crew made us feel safe. Our cabin was a suite and really comfortable. We had a balcony which was a great spot to watch the beauty of Ha long Bay.

Don’t hesitate to book!

5 STARS!!! What a wonderful experience. Only regret was not doing more than 1 night. We are not “cruise” people but this was just a remarkable time. Timothy on board was delightful, knowledgeable & kind. All staff on board are SO kind and caring. Ivy & JV also made our experience memorable. We highly recommend Bhaya Soul for every couples, who want to have the best experience in Vietnam.

Top romantic Cruise

Tom was incredible. By far the best tour guide/ host so far we’ve had in Vietnam. He was extremely fun and funny which made our time much enjoyable. We were celebrating our anniversary and they upgraded our room, decorated it and at dinner they played a nice song and brought my wife some beautiful red roses. We will definitely come back; hopefully Tom is there with us.

Memorable Experience

Our stay on Auco 1 was absolutely wonderful. We stayed for just one night to celebrate our anniversary, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The staff beautifully decorated our room and surprised us during dinner with drinks and a bouquet, which made the evening extra special. All the activities were very well organized, and everything ran seamlessly. We would definitely recommend this cruise.

Ha Long Bay Cruise - dream cruise to calm the heart

A cruise in Ha Long bay has been on our bucket list and choosing the Bhaya Soul fulfilled all those dreams in two soulful nights. Not only the food which was locally sourced, cooked to perfection and presented artfully but the staff who were friendly & genuine. Excursions were authentic and sympathetic to people who live there but allowed us to see the natural Vietnamese people and beauty. We will take this place home with us in our heart.

Bucket list experience on Halong Bay

We travelled Halong Bay for 3d/2n on Bhaya Soul. Provided activities included kayaking, touring/cycling Cat Ba island, squid fishing, morning ‘quiet walk’ through a large cave area and visiting a local fish farm. Still there was time to enjoy the bar area, pool, and fabulous local cuisine. The staff attention to detail is fabulous - thank you Tim other, Tommy and Emma. Highly recommend this experience.

Cruise with HERO!

The best cruise of my life. Absolutely perfect and authentic no big modern boat rather colonial style and that is what we are looking for. Thank you a thousand times to Mr. Hero who can be called SUPER HERO, always attentive and super friendly. I recommend more than a thousand times. A plus for squid fishing.

10/10 Experience

We had an incredible time on the Bhaya Soul. The boat was in very beautiful condition, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful — especially Toni, who was super attentive — and the food was delicious. If you’re going to Ha Long Bay, this is the way to do it. We only wish we could have stayed longer.

Honeymoon Tour

The staff were incredibly attentive, kind, and engaging throughout the trip. For our honeymoon we were welcomed with a bottle of rose & beautifully made bed in our suite. We especially liked going to Lan Ha Bay and the views from the speedboat to Cat Ba National Park. The number of days and nights were perfect and would recommend this cruise to anyone looking to see Halong Bay.
