Once in a lifetime experience

The cruise was fantastic, definitely worth the money. We went on a 2-day 1 night cruise, My Uyen arranged the pickup from our hotels and easy drop-off as well. We really enjoyed the kayaking experience through the serene waters. The hike was a bit crowded and cocktails were under par. Overall a great experience with a beautiful cabin view.
