Blue Dragon Tours is a very prestigious agent. Their staff are very professional and service minded to take care us. They offered reasonable price for our Halong Bay tour, issued free visa for us, and arranged the pick up and drop off on time. They also sent their staff to our hotel to collect the payment and answer all of our questions. It was a very smooth tour. We didn't have to worry about anything. The cruise quality was commensurate with the price we paid: spacious cabin, great food, fun activities, and top-notch servicesAustralia06-01-2017

We joined Stellar Cruise during three days. Our 3DN2 itinerary included 3 lunches, 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts and many exciting activities. All meals were pretty good with a large portion and so many amazing dishes. We visited the floating fishing village, enjoyed a trekking to Surprise Cave, tried our luck with squid at night, and spent our spare time for swimming. We didn’t find any problems with the cabin. It was small but well-equipped. Crew on Stellar paid attention to our every single need. The tour guide was friendly, helpful, informative, and had good sense of humor.Australia13-10-2016

August was probably the best time to visit Halong Bay (and don't let people tell you it's November). There are fewer tourists, the price is much lower than October onward, sky is clear and our trips get much more relaxing. Stellar cruise was not our first choice as we booked Glory cruise but it was not available so we get a free upgrade. It was a perfect upgrade! I wish I had opted for the 3 day trip instead, given how amazing Halong Bay is... Will return for sure.Australia13-05-2019
