Does anyone know how big is the double bed in Red Dragon is? We are travelling with a 2 year old boy and wonder if the bed/room is big enough for the 3 of us. Thanks

 

I suggest you book the biggest room in Red Dragon, room number 200.
The other room is only half as big as the room 200, and it'll be pretty crampy for 2 adults and one kid.



Hi,
is there anybody who took a 2 days/1 night tour with the Red Dragon Junk ? I read that they don't visit the caves ? Is it a "Must" to see the caves ?
My wish is to make a good tour in a boat which has the ambiance of the ancient junks ? Can you recommend me one ?
Thank you so much.
Best regards German Chris

Trying to decide which junk to take...I know there are many thing already written.

It seems the Red Dragon/Lagoon Explorer take little bit different routes than the others.
Do the tours include time to kayak and if so is the kayak price included in the total price?
Thanks for any help on this or reviews on these junks!!!

If you just want one of these two, Red Dragon Junk is so much better in all ways although the Lagoon Explorer is a very nice junk. Brand new boat, better cabins...Lagoon Explorer has half day cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay and half day cruise in Halong Bay. There will be cave visit. They anchor in Halong Bay near Trong cave, the same place with the Bhaya and some other junks. On Lagoon Explorer, you will have to pay for kayaking experience. Red Dragon cruise full time in Bai Tu Long Bay and you will have plenty of time kayaking without surcharge as it is included in the price. This cruise route is far better than the normal Halong Bay route just in my opinion) as there will be just you in the Bay .However, if you are cave lover it will not be the best choice as Red Dragon does not provide any cave visit.
 

Hi my husband and I are going to be on this Junk on November (we've already booked). We did heaps and heaps of research before making the choice. However, the point about no cave visit, I am not too sure of.....if you see the website below it has an itinerary of a 3 day, 2 night stay and on the 3rd day it does indeed mention a trip to sung sot cave if you wish (2nd website link. So that's how we read it....I certainly hope so! :o)

We did in fact book this junk and I think we will be on it the same time as you...or your second night as we are only going for one night.

Thanks for the info!!

JanetC,
We are sure that the 2 boats run the same itinerary. Last year, Lagoon Explorer started the trip from Hon Gai port, cruising through Bai Tu Long area, the second day, you will visit Sung Sot cave. However, the tour operation has found out that Vong Vieng fishing village is worth to see. Now, Lagoon Explorer, Princess, Red Dragon are on the same route.

However, tours are carefully designed and arranged, you will not see other boats on the way.
Actually, Vong Vieng village is still in Halong bay area, not in Bai Tu Long bay. But this tour reaches the village by a new route.

The sea is very calm, water is clear and the beaches are clean. Those are all advantages of the tours run by the 3 mentioned junk boats.
Nice time
