Hung was a stellar host, who painstakingly catered to different groups' needs. He is extremely knowledgeable, and funny, and most of all, patient. The itinerary was cohesive, exhaustive and fun! Especially enjoyed kayaking and swimming in the ocean. Staff was accommodating and polite. A fun overall experience, will highly recommend for youngsters, families and all.. The equipment was somewhat old and needed upgrade.
La Pandora has 24 cabins over three decks, ranging from 28m2 to 55m2, all with a private sea-view balcony, large windows, an en-suite bathroom with a standing shower and quality bedding. Our Halong Bay travel guide explains how cabin tiers are priced.
