Best time ever! Highly recommend

Last time I went to Halong Bay I didn't have a good experience so I did a lot of research to find a cruise that was less touristy and had more options to explore. The unicharm cruise lived up to my expectations! The staff on board were awesome, the room was so lovely with a 24/7 amazing view of all the limestone cliffs, bed was comfy, I slept like a log. I was worried about the food but it was so good, plenty to go around. The activities were awesome, the hike was challenging but so worth it for the view, and the kayaking and bike riding were beautiful and picturesque. Honestly could not have asked for a better time!! Our guide Quang was the best - funny, knowledgeable, kind and super helpful, thanks Quang!! There were options to tailor activities so you could do alternative things if you didn't want to hike or kayak. I could not recommend this cruise enough!! The places we we went were not busy at all and you could really take in the scenery and it was so quiet and peaceful at night. So different to my previous experience. I had the best time :)
