We recently chartered the Dragon's Pearl junk from Indochina junk company. There were 11 cabins in the junk for the 13 of us. Room decor was nice, and the service excellent. Food was tasty and beautifully presented. Bathroom was spotless, and bed linens clean and crisp. Two bottles of water was provided per room. Apart from that, one had to pay to get any drink.

Many activities were provided and included in the cost of the cruise. Eg, kayaking, fishing, morning visit to a floating fishing village, ride on a sampan in beautiful bay, and exploring a cave. Our guide was good and provided informative commentary of the area.

I would highly recommend this junk to others

“Scenario unico ma...”
Reviewed July 3, 2012 NEW

Devo riconoscere che lo scenario è unico e meraviglioso ed inoltre ho effettuato la crociera con una imbarcazione di lusso...tuttavia scordatevi il mare...il colore è un verde/marrone che non invita al bagno...in italia abbiamo posti sicuramente non con lo stesso scenario ma forse più godibili. In definitiva se fate un viaggio in Vietnam vale la pena fare una escursazione, ma andarci come obiettivo prioritario ho i miei dubbi. Raccomandazione: se andate scegliete una compagnia di navigazione di alto livello.

(google translate: I must admit that the scenario is unique and wonderful and I also made a cruise with a luxury boat ... but forget about the sea ... the color is a green / brown that does not invite to the bathroom ... in Italy we definitely places not with the same scenario but perhaps more enjoyable. Ultimately if you make a trip to Vietnam is worth a escursazione, but to go as a priority I have my doubts. Recommendation: if you go to choose a shipping high-level.)

噂どおりの絶景でとても良かったと思います。ゴールデンウィークだったので４０度くらいの気温があり、多くの観光客は船内のまま。ひとりで屋外キャビンを独占できました。日焼けするのがいやな人には向きません。途中でよった洞窟はライトアップがきれいでひんやりして気持ちよかった。

I think that was very good in the views of as rumor. There is a temperature of about 40 degrees because it was Golden Week, many tourists will remain on board. Was able to monopolize the outdoor cabin alone. It is Tan to unpleasant person is not suitable. Depending on the way cave was cool felt good to clean and light up.)

“La huitième merveille naturelle du monde ?”
Reviewed June 29, 2012

Pour profiter de la baie d'Halong, il faut y passer au moins deux jours et une nuit sur une jonque.
La cadre est merveilleusement reposant, mais en est-il pour autant merveilleux ?
Trop de bateaux, trop de touristes, dont nous, trop de brouillard qui empêche de profiter pleinement des charmes de cette baie... et du coup trop de pollution. Il est toujours très triste de constater que la mer, et dans ce cas là les iles environnantes, deviennent une décharge à ciel ouvert.

Cela reste cependant un agréable moment de notre séjour que bous avons pu faire dans le cadre d'un circuit. Nous serions venus seuls, le prix de 250 dollars minimum par personne aurait été prohibitif.

Mais cela prouve aussi qu'il est urgent de repenser le tourisme de masse avant que les effets néfastes ne deviennent irréversibles.

To take advantage of Halong Bay, one must spend at least two days and one night on a junk. The setting is wonderfully relaxing, but it is wonderful so far? Too many boats, too many tourists, we, too much fog that prevents fully enjoy the charms of this bay ... and suddenly too much pollution. It is always sad to see the sea, and in this case the surrounding islands, become an open dump. However, this is a good time of our stay that bous were able to do as part of a circuit. We would come alone, the price of $ 250 per person minimum would have been prohibitive. But it also proves the urgent need to rethink mass tourism before the adverse effects become irreversible.)
