Cruising in style with The Au Co
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.

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.

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.

A journey to remember
The 4-day Au Co cruise was the highlight of our Vietnam trip. Waking up in the middle of Halong Bay with misty limestone cliffs around us felt surreal. Every day brought a new adventure - from kayaking in hidden lagoons to visiting floating villages. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive. Big thank to Bhaya team.

An enriching experience
This wasn’t just a cruise - it was an enriching experience. We explored caves, swam in emerald waters, and cycled through peaceful island villages. The itinerary was perfectly paced, giving us time to explore without ever feeling rushed. A great way to see the quieter side of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Bai Tu Long.

Great experience & exceptional staff
We had a great time on our overnight trip. It goes without saying that the scenery was amazing. Our host, Tien went above and beyond to make our experience the best - polite, engaging and great English. The rest of the staff were equally amazing. The food was amazing. Would highly recommend.

One of the highlights of our Vietnam Trip
The boat was lovely! The rooms were well appointed and very comfortable! The crew, lead by Harry, was incredibly attentive! We were not bored at any point and we were definitely well fed! If I were to do it again, the only thing I would change is to make the trip longer!
