Great day tour

Went to Halong bay with jade sails. Nam was a fantastic guide. The boat was pristine. Excellent and friendly service with great food. The boat ride was beautiful as well as kayaking and swimming. We had a cooking class which was very fun! Would highly recommend it. An amazing day with extremely professional staff

Wonderful day in Halong Bay

We had a great experience on the cruise with a small group of other passengers. The staff handed off and let us relax while providing fun activities. The food was all delicious and the facilities were great. It felt we were able to fit a lot into our day. The scenery was, of course, gorgeous, as we learned so much about the surrounding area. Nam was an excellent tour guide and even sent us pictures of us that he took on his phone long after his workday was over. We would highly recommend it.

One of the best days in Vietnam! 

This was definitely one of the greatest highlights of Vietnam! From beginning to end: an overall amazing experience. Jade Sails is very professional, has kind staff, a great activity program, safety was guaranteed, food was yummy and the boat was very beautiful. The tour guide (a guy named Nam) was very dedicated and passionate about his work which I absolutely loved! It was such an unforgettable experience enjoying the sunset from the sea while soaking in all the stunning surroundings. In my opinion, definitely a must-see, and would recommend Jade Sails sure

Best day ever with Jade Sails!

We had the BEST experience with Jade Sails! Everything was fantastic, from the tour guides to the activities to the food. I absolutely loved rowing through caves to see the bay up close
