Our group choose Red Dragon for a small junk and we enjoyed the trip very much. A 2 day 1 night is not enough, I wish we chosen 3 days instead. Everything was just perfect. The staff made us feel very comfortable. Bai Tu Long bay is very quiet. Will come back.

Choose Red Dragon will never disappoint you. A small boat so it will bring you to quieter spots that big boats cannot. The food was plentiful and of good quality. The staff took care of us as a family. They couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Valued for money!

A nicely sized boat that we felt more intimate.

The staff was excellent, especially the tour guide JD.

Kayaking was nice.

The scenery was fabulous.

Soup in the lunch was not good but dinner and breakfast were excellent. Our cabin needs a renovation (hard bed, moldy shower, roach in the room). The cave was very small and lots of people.

The trip truly surpassed our expectations. Bai Tu Long Bay was very pristine and less busy as the said crowded Ha Long Bay. Mr. Cai and Mr. T were excellent hosts. Others were cheerful and fun to be with. We had very interesting conversations about Vietnam. A trip of our lifetime.

Perfect cruise ship for a small group. There are only 5 cabins and we were better taken care of by the staff. They were polite and attentive to details so we felt comfortable and happy during our stay. The program must have been well considered to ensure we visit the attractions with as few people as possible. Don't miss this wonderful place and excellent experience.
