Bhaya Legend 1 is the best way to see Ha Long Bay

Bhaya Legend 1 is a beautiful boat, with only one cabin - the perfect way to see Ha Long bay. Tien and his crew will tailor the cruise according to your preferences, with plenty of activities available to choose from. They will make sure you have the best trip ever.

Fantastic Bhaya Legend 3 day 2 night cruise

We had such an amazing experience on our cruise with Bhaya Legend. We had local food throughout our trip which was delicious, enjoyed the incredible serene views of Bai Tu Long Bay and was looked after by fantastic staff. Our host Phuc was wonderful, nothing was too much trouble and he provided friendly hospitality while on board. Would highly recommend the whole experience.

Sinply the best company and landscape

We did the 1 night/2day cruise at Au Co and it was superb! Trust them. The food, itinerary, kindness, cleanliness, infrastructure, all were amazing! We were upgraded to the Halong Suit and we were static!! We just regret not have booked 2 nights. The landscape is mesmerizing, and I have seen some views, trust me! Our 6 year old loved every minute. Was our best sleep in Vietname so far!

Lovely boat trip in Halong Bay on AuCo1

We had a wonderful 2 days on AuCo1 after a busy start to our holiday in Hanoi, this is just what we needed. The boat is lovely and clean, good facilities, the staff were friendly and helpful. Tan was particularly helpful with going through the vegetarian options at lunch and, showing the menu for the evening. The food was excellent and there was plenty of choice. We enjoyed the excursion to Cat Ba island and rode bicycles to/from the village which was fun! We also enjoyed rife wine tasting with Gin and other guests on the evening.

Best of the best Halong Bay cruise

What a superb cruise! Everything about this cruise was top notch - the food, musicians at dinner, massages, kayaking, the pool and poolside service and drinks. Our personal host was Tom who was outstanding. He was energetic, positive and helped out with every little thing we needed - or asked about. Highly recommend!

Luxury, Serenity and Wellness in Perfect Harmony

Bhaya Soul is a beautiful concept: luxury, nature, and wellness in perfect harmony. During the three-day cruise, we explored hidden corners of the bay while still having plenty of time for ourselves. The sunrise yoga classes were exceptional, led by a very professional instructor who paid close attention to posture and breathing. I also appreciated the healthy gastronomy onboard — elegant meals with fresh local ingredients and refreshing juices. It was sophisticated yet deeply relaxing.

More Than a Cruise – A True Wellness Retreat

Bhaya Soul delivered one of the most memorable cruises we’ve ever taken. Three days gave us enough time to truly slow down and appreciate Ha Long Bay instead of rushing through it. Morning yoga on the sundeck overlooking limestone cliffs was unforgettable, and the instructor created such a peaceful atmosphere. We were especially impressed with the wellness focus throughout the cruise, from meditation to nourishing cuisine. Every meal was fresh, balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. It felt like a retreat rather than just a holiday.

The Most Rejuvenating Cruise We’ve Ever Taken

We chose Bhaya Soul because of the wellness theme, and it exceeded expectations. The 3D2N itinerary gave us time to enjoy both adventure and rest - cycling in Viet Hai Village, cave exploration, then returning for spa treatments and yoga. The yoga teacher was fantastic: warm, encouraging, and skilled at guiding everyone regardless of experience level. Food was another highlight - healthy but full of flavour, with lots of fresh herbs, seafood, and light dishes. Honestly one of the most rejuvenating trips I’ve taken.

Highlight of our time in Vietnam - first class experience.

This tour was excellent. The boat is pristine and the cabins all have balconies. We enjoyed the big lounger bed on the balcony. There is a large “pool” which is actually a hot tub. The water temperature was a little over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Heavenly!! The meals are quite elaborate. The staff is very attentive. The excursion to the floating village was more interesting than the visit to Cat Ba island. We also enjoyed amazing foot massages. Highly recommend!
