“White Dolphin Cruise- Outstanding serivce.”
* * * * * Reviewed February 26, 2012
After researching about HaLong, we were overload information because these are so many cruises in HaLong. It's difficult for us so I asked for advice from White Dolphin Cruises. They repliea quickly with detail itinerary & cruise suggestion. Finally we chose White Dophin Cruise with no regret after the trip. All services were exceeded my expectation. The cruise was very nice decoration like a luxury European junk. The service was impeccable; they couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We love the food in cruise a lot. We enjoyed the sky at night with million of stars. How romantic and fanciful scenery! They crew was enthusiasm, friendly and very knowledgeable. They take care us and made sure that we were happy & satisfy with their service. We really got what we paid for this trip. We will continue to recommed to everybody.

“Besser zwei Tage als nur einen Tag wegen Kajakausflug”
* * * Reviewed April 30, 2012
Wir haben von vielen Reisenden gehört welche enttäuscht wurden. Somit scheint allgemein etwas der Wurm drin in diesen Halong Bay "Kreuzfahrten". Wir hatten es eigentlich gut und sind nicht sicher ob es uns auf einem anderen Schiff besser ergangen wäre. Aber am besten kommt man ohne grosse Erwartungen, dann wird man ev. positiv überrascht.
Die Bucht ist wirklich sehr schön und eine Reise wert. Leider ist das Wasser an gewissen Stellen so mit Abfall und Oel verschmutzt das es einen wirklich wundert weshalb dieser wichtigen Einnahmequelle nicht besser sorge getragen wird.
Das Essen auf der White Dolphin war ok/gut - aber mehr nicht. Das Schiff ist in einem korrekten Zustand - leider hat die Regierung befohlen alle Schiffe weiss zu streichen, was den Dschunken viel Charme geraubt hat.
Das Programm ist leider willkürlich. Wir hatten vor dem Buchen lange damit auseinander gesetzt und unser Boot danach ausgewählt. Im Nachhinein war das vergeudete Zeit - denn das Programm welches angepriesen wurde wird nach Lust und Laune abgearbeitet oder durch etwas anderes ausgetauscht (in unserem Fall zwei Höhlen statt ein Höhle und ein schwimmendes Fischerdorf). Gerettet hat es für mich der Kajakausflug am zweiten Tag (drei Tage / zwei Nächte) - den fand ich wunderschön und dieser alleine war für mich die drei Tage wert.
Das Zimmer (die Suite) ist recht schön und wenn man eine der beiden hinteren Suiten hat, kann man sogar auf dem privaten Balkon etwas lesen oder trinken (zum Essen bräuchte man mehr Platz). die beiden anderen Suiten haben nur Pseudo-Balkone welche man nicht wirklich verwenden kann. Auch mit dem Zimmer gab es ein Problem, die erste Nacht waren wir in einem der normalen Zimmer untergebracht - und unser Reiseführer (vom Reisebüro asiatour - nicht von der White Dolphin) wollte uns weismachen das wäre die Suite. Für die zweite Nacht wurden wir dann umquartiert. Weshalb wir zuerst falsch untergebracht waren ist nicht klar - ob es wirklich ein versehen war - oder ob sie eventuell überbucht hatten und einfach hofften wir merken nix..

We have heard from many travelers who have been disappointed. Thus in general seems a bit of worm in it in this Halong Bay "Cruises". We had really good and are not sure whether it would have fared better on another ship. But the best one comes without great expectations, then maybe you will pleasantly surprised. The bay is really nice and worth the trip. Unfortunately, the water in certain places so polluted with waste oil and a really wonder why it does not take care of this important source of income is better supported. Food on the White Dolphin was ok good / - but not more. The ship is in a proper condition - unfortunately, the government has ordered all ships to remove white, which has robbed the junks charm. The program is now arbitrary. We did so long before the book apart and then selected our boat. In retrospect, the waste of time - because the program that was advertised is processed according to your mood or replaced by something else (in our case two holes instead of a cave and a floating fishing village). It has saved me for the kayak trip on the second day (three days / two nights) - I was beautiful and he was alone worth the three days for me. The room (the suite) is quite nice and if you have one of the two rear suites, you can even read on the private balcony or drink anything (to eat it would take more space). the other two suites have balconies which are only quasi-one can not really use. Even with the room there was a problem, the first night we were accommodated in a twin room - and our guide (from the travel agency asiatour - not from the White Dolphin) would have us believe this would be the suite. For the second night we were then relocated. Why we were first housed wrong is not clear - whether it really was provided - or whether they had overbooked and may just remember we were hoping nothing ..)
