We had an amazing experience with Jade Sails, doing a day cruise with a group of friends. The staff were incredibly friendly, thanks to Ha and loan for providing exceptional hospitality to us. We enjoyed the itinerary which included kayaking, boat ride and swimming, as well as a delicious buffet lunch. I would highly recommend Jade Sails, thanks very much!

Did not disappoint!

So worth the money! The boat was beautiful, the staff was amazing, and the live music was such a nice touch. They stop in such a beautiful spot for a swim and serve some of the best food I had in Vietnam. Would for sure book again!

Fabulous day trip to Halong Bay

Lorna_H, Apr 2024

Picked up from hotel, at pre arranged time, in very clean, comfortable mini bus with only 6 others, and taken 2hr drive straight to marina. Marina area a bit like a depressing ghost town with half built, empty buildings all around but offered cool drinks or coffee in the nice reception lounge for the boat before greeted onboard by the lovely crew with a single rose for everyone. Boat very clean and absolutely beautiful- definitely the most luxurious in the bay! The facilities are like a 5* hotel. Cruise through Halong Bay is outstandingly scenic whatever the weather, staff couldn’t be more pleasant and helpful, itinerary is great fun with row boat through caves, swimming and kayaking in a lagoon and even a lesson on how to make traditional spring rolls, all included. Lunch is a fabulous affair with a plentiful, wide selection on offer and catered for all dietary needs. Late afternoon tea on the sundeck with fruit snacks and cakes is also great. The well stocked bar onboard is the only added expense and their happy hour with 2 for the price of 1 drinks and cocktails on the cruise back to port is much appreciated. Can’t praise the crew enough as all very courteous and helpful with special mention to the fantastic cruise director( sorry but can’t remember his name!) A fantastic, well organised day trip, well worth the money and we thoroughly recommend to everyone.

Luxurious day cruise

Nick_G, Mar 2024

Really enjoyable day cruise round Halong Bay, relaxing, but including fun activities such as rowing boats through caves, kayaking, swimming and Vietnamese spring-roll making. Excellent food included, and a full pay-bar on board. Charming staff. Thoroughly recommended, we were based in Halong so didn’t have far to travel to the marina, but most participants on our cruise came from Hanoi with the optional transport included.

Timelessness of Ha Long Bay

Leh_R, Feb 2024

I was first attracted to Ha Long Bay by the film « Indochine ». Sailing by Jadesails, I got a chance to explore its beauty by traversing its cave on a sampan and a kayak. Amid its tranquility, I was totally detoxed, feeling instantaneously at rest with no progress of time. Thanks to this trip, I have a motivation to reorder the priority of my life. This trip offers a tipping balance between being solo and in a group. I find it very nurturing and relaxing.

Perfect day in Ha Long & Lan Ha Bay

Peter_L, Dec 2023

Excellent organisation from pick up to bringing us back to the hotel. Thet boat was really very nice, with a group of around 25 people on the sail boat we had time to relax and enjoy the bay from the beginning till the end. The activities like boating, kayaking and swimming were also nice and in areas with no other big groups. Costs more than the average tour but it is really worth it.

Enjoyable trip

Karen_L, Sep 2023

I enjoyed the trip but it wasn’t suitable for older people regarding access and egress from the boat . The steps onto the boat were unstable no hand rail. I wasn’t able to swim in the bay because there was no suitable way of getting on and off the boat . However the staff were lovely and it was an enjoyable day

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks you for your feedback, Karen Longmore! Well noted for your review, we will learn and improve it. Hope you enjoyed the bay. Best regards, Luong

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks so much for your review, Shane! It was really great that we had chance to do 2 boat trip with you, one on Jadesails with your friends and one on La Casta with your wife. We are so glad you enjoyed both trips. We hope we will see you again in Halong Bay. Best regards, Luong

Not worth it

Arshad_H, Jun 2023

Good quality vs other operators, but overall this is extremely touristy and overrated (they also charge quite high prices on board) - better to go to Thailand and you get equally good views in Phuket but water is much cleaner since they don’t allow bigger boats and way more relaxing / less crowded

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Mr Arshad Hamza On the behalf of our company, i would like to say thank you so much for your booking and joining on Jade Sails Cruise in Ha Long Bay. That is little pity that we can not get full 5 star review from you. Following your feedback about the tour, i would like explain as below : 1-"this is extremely touristy " -) As you know before coming to Vietnam, Halong Bay nowaday is very famous all around the world. Halong Bay is also become 1 one new seven wonders of the world so everyday, there are so many people like travelling to Halong Bay. And now, it is summer holiday in Vietnam, it will be more crowded than normal especilly at the weekend (also included vietnamese tourist). We are highly recommend you should go to Halong Bay in winter time becase that time is winter season , not so many vietnamese tourist so it will not crownded tourists. 2-"Overrated (they also charge quite high prices on board)" -) As you know, Halong is the bay not like as the mainland. On the mainland, you can buy easy anything with lower price because they pay very low rate for the tax to vietnamese goverment. But on the cruise, we have to pay higher tax to vietnamese goverment than other so certainly price on boat will higher price than mainland. so we really hope you will understand that. We are very appreciated your sharing feedback because we always try our best to listen guest's feedback and improve our service everyday. We are looking forward to serving you next time with not so many tourist. For more information or making reservation, feel free contact 24/7 to us by call/whatsApp : +84945001987, +84945201987, +84905555369. Best Regards Kevin (Mr)

Most wonderful experience on the Jadesails cruise

Juliette_L, Mar 2023

Not only was it as luxurious as promised, the staff did everything they possibly could to make the day perfect. I’m vegetarian and received a whole assortment of dishes during lunch as well as vegetarian spring rolls for the sunset party. The bamboo boat, kayaking and swimming was extremely enjoyable! The foggy weather made it extra mystical. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone willing to have a relaxing cruise day through Ha Long Bay. Thank you again!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Juliette Laeuffer, Thank you so much for your great review. We are so happy to get 5 star from you for our cruise.

We hope that we will be served you again in the next time. Take care and good luck to you. Best Regards Kevin ( Mr )

Thank you very much!!!

Une journée de repos dans le calme et dans un cadre idyllique, on recommande !!

Lea_R, Feb 2024

La navette est venue nous chercher à notre hôtel dans le vieux Hanoï, des bouteilles d'eaux sont mises à disposition. 8 places disponibles, si vous avez la possibilité, prenez les fauteuils qui sont super confortables ! Après 2h de route, nous avons fait une pause dans une boutique touristique de perles de culture (pas nécessaire selon moi). 20 mins plus tard on arrive au port, puis on embarque à bord du bateau. Nous avons eu un très bon accueil de la part du staff, le bateau est très confortable, spacieux et conforme à nos attentes pour une croisière 'luxe' (fleurs fraiches, beaux matériaux, toilettes japonaises...). Tout était propre, pensé pour que chaque visiteur passe un bon moment. Le chef de la croisière Viny, était extrêmement sympathique, il parlait très bien l'anglais ! Le staff de manière générale était aux petits soins, ce qui était vraiment très agréable. Après le briefing, nous sommes en route. Bien que le temps n'était pas trop de la partie, les paysages étaient superbes ! Point positif de faire cette croisière l'hiver, nous sommes tranquilles pour profiter des paysages car il y a très peu de bateaux qui naviguent. Ensuite nous avons déjeuné, le buffet est varié, avec des spécialités vietnamiennes (spring rolls, soupes...) mais aussi des produits plus internationaux (frites, saucisses, pain...). Minuscule point noir, pas assez de dessert, tout est parti assez vite... Concernant les activités, nous sommes montés à bord de bateaux en bois, des locaux nous ont emmenés jusqu'à la "Dark & Light Cave". Moment de calme absolu, les paysages sont impressionnants. Nous n'avons pas fait de kayak, pas de baignade, ni profité du jacuzzi à l'avant du bateau car il faisait trop froid, mais par beau temps c'est à faire ! (NB : des douches sont à disposition dans les sanitaires pour se rincer et ils fournissent également les serviettes) Néanmoins, nous avons participé à l'activité "fried spring rolls" avec le chef cuisinier. C'était super, très ludique et on repart avec la recette pour la refaire chez nous ! Vraiment top !! Fin de la balade, on rentre au port vers 17h30 pour prendre la navette et rentrer sur Hanoï. Globalement, la journée était bien orchestrée, le programme a été parfaitement respecté et exécuté ! Un personnel à l'écoute et aux petits soins, un bateau super confortable, une journée de repos dans le calme et dans un cadre idyllique, on recommande !!

Mycket bra från början till slut. Bokningspersonalen, upphämtade vid hotellet, båtutflykten med aktiviteter och hemkörd igen. All trevlig personal, fin bil och båt. Vill tacka all som gjorde detta till ett fint minne.
