Overall it was a good experience- we got weathered out the first night and had to come back to the harbour- there was limited cell phone service to arrange accommodation at the last minute. The boat was nice,food was good and guides were good. When we got redirected to spent the night in Ha Long city - it’s a bizarre ghost town and there is no food options. We headed out to La Ham the next day- weather was better and we were able to spend the night. Sena Cruises are a step up and the scenery is a more compact version of the Ha Long bay geography. I would recommend just booking the La Han experience to be sure that your tour won’t get cancelled at the last minute.

The environment and the views are an amazing experience. BUT a lot of dirt was in the water (plastic, oil, paper, ...). If this continues and there is no better prevention in the future nobody will book the trip anymore. So I cannot recommend this trip on beforehand to my friends.
